[Visualpython-users] py2exe and vpython

[Greg S. <sw...@la...>]

Dear Stef, and others,

When I explicitly include the tga files as data_files in my setup.py 
module for py2exe, it works ok when one of the py2exe options is
"skip_archive":1
In this case, the library.zip is not created, and the three tga files 
appear in folder ...\dist\visual.

However, just omitting that "skip_archive" option, thus trying to get 
everything into library.zip, makes a MyProgram.exe which fails with 
the following log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "MyProgram.py", line 6, in <module>
   File "visual\__init__.pyc", line 77, in <module>
   File "visual\ui.pyc", line 3, in <module>
   File "visual\materials.pyc", line 151, in <module>
   File "visual\materials.pyc", line 129, in loadTGA
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'C:\\DOCUME~1\\092710\\MYDOCU~1\\python\\dist\\library.zip\\visual/turbulence3.tga'
In this case, py2exe has put the tga files in dist\visual again, 
instead of in dist\library.zip\visual.
Manually adding the tga files into library.zip\visual does not fix 
this traceback report.

If I explicitly try to have setup.py's data_files put the tga files 
into "library.zip\visual", py2exe complains "could not create 
......\dist\library.zip: cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Any ideas?
Thank you,
Greg
