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

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.]

os.popen

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

• 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
