Working with Various Packages and Modules

Biopython

• ConfigImportProblems Fixing problems with importing Bio.Config files from library.zip

cElementTree

• If you're using import xml.etree.cElementTree, also use import xml.etree.ElementTree before that to get it working

ConfigObj

• ConfigObj does not work right if you installed using easy_install. Just download configobj.py and validate.py from http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.htm

ctypes.com

• Py2exeAndCtypesComDllServer Creating a ctypes.com dll com server

• Py2exeAndCtypesComExeServer Creating a ctypes.com exe com server

dpkt

• dpkt Fixing problems initializing class attributes

ftplib

you may need to try including wsock32.dll or winsock.dll. Sometimes one works, sometimes the other works. Having both might cause problems.

Innosetup

• BetterCompression Getting complete wxPython Programs down to around 4 Megabytes

• SetupLanguage How to localize the language with py2exe and InnoSetup

• QuickStartIcons How to add Startup-Links to the Quickstart-Bar & the Desktop using InnoSetup together with Py2Exe

logging module

• LoggingModule - Getting the %(filename)s format string working in the python logging module.

lxml

• if missing _elementhpath, either pull whole lxml library in packages=..., or put "from lxml import _elementhpath as _dummy" somewhere in code; in both cases also pull gzip in packages=...

MatPlotLib

• MatPlotLib - Fixing and including configuration information for this plotting package.

multiprocessing

• See multiprocessing.freeze_support.

NumPy

• If you're getting No scipy-style subpackage 'xxx' found in c:\...\library.zip\numpy. Ignoring, try --skip-archive command line option or pass options = {"py2exe": {"skip_archive":1}} to setup().

• If you're using numarray and numpy together, be aware that they both have a _sort, and py2exe gets them confused. After py2exe creates the dist directotry, copy numpy/core/_sort.pyd and numarray/sort.pyd to their respective locations in the dist. [This problem is due to a bug in py2exe: it used a single, flat namespace for all .pyd files. This has been fixed in CVS as of 7 Sep 2007.]

• Numpy 1.4.0 and Py2exe 0.6.9 may have issues compiling to an executable. The executable may run on your computer, but wont run on other machines. You may get and error that says the module cant be found or a DLL load failure referencing numpy files (.pyc,.pyo). The solution to this is to use numpy 1.3.0.

os.popen

• os.popen If you're getting failures when the CWD is a UNC path like \\host\dirname\...

PIL

• py2exeAndPIL If you're getting cannot identify image file, read this

• PILAndFontfiles If you're getting Cannot find font file, read this

protobuf

• GoogleProtobuf If you're getting The following modules appear to be missing

pubsub

• Add 'pubsub.*', 'pubsub.core.*', 'pubsub.core.kwargs.*' to include_packages if using the new interface, otherwise add 'pubsub.*', 'pubsub.core.*', 'pubsub.core.arg1.*' when using the old interface.

PyGTK (and Kiwi)

• Py2exeAndPyGTK A recipe for py2exe and PyGTK

pyodbc

• PyODBC additional configuration required to include decimal package

PyOpenGL

• PyOpenGL A hack to get py2exe and PyOpenGL working

PyQt

• Py2exeAndPyQt If you're getting File "qt.pyc", line 7, in __load Import Error: No module named sip, read this

Python Eggs

• ExeWithEggs - A recipe for creating an .exe out of eggs

PythonCard

• PythonCardSetup Getting pythoncard to work by editing setup.py

Python ADODB modules

• ADODB package Modules named adodb_xxx (like adodb_mysql) are not added automatically, must be added explicitly

PyXML

• Py2exeAndPyXML If you're getting File "xml\sax\saxexts.pyc", line 77, in make_parser; xml.sax._exceptions.SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found, read this.

Quixote

Quixote is a pythonivc toolkit for web pages which allows one to execute ptl files using ihooks. You can distribute your web application with medusa or twisted and hence you can create a web application without IIS or Apache.

I like to distribute my application with py2exe but I can not make py2exe setup script to recognize that x.ptl is a valid python files. Any idea how to do this? - impossible: py2exeAndQuixote HAM20040602

Raven

It seems Raven uses its own function to import modules and cache them so py2exe isn't able to figure out which module is needed. You need to manually specify them with options={"py2exe": {"includes": ["raven.events", "raven.processors"]}}.

reportlab

• PILAndReportlab If you've read py2exeAndPIL and still get cannot identify image file, read this

SciPy

• ScipyImportProblems Using py2exe with scipy ends up with missing cephes and __cvs_version__ messages. Here is a fix.

subprocess

• Py2ExeSubprocessInteractions - Getting subprocess module to work with py2exe.

Tix

• TixSetup - Including the Tix DLL and Tcl files to make Tix apps work.

win32com

• Py2exeAndWin32com Creating a win32com exe and/or dll com server

• win32com.shell Including with py2exe 0.6

• IncludingTypelibs Allowing use of makepy generated typelibs

• UsingEnsureDispatch Use a prog_id and generate 'typelibs' at runtime

win32pipe

• IssuesWithWin32pipe (from pywin32) in a bundle.

win32ui

• Py2exeAndWin32ui Using win32ui with py2exe 0.6 and python 2.6

wxPython

• Py2exeAndwxPython If you're getting wxObjectPtr not found, read this
