I would be shocked if my technique, if used correctly, doesn't work. I
have a program that makes extensive use of the ActiveX Flash wrapper,
and that technique ALWAYS works, and I can bundle just fine.
Do you have these files:
myole4ax.idl
myole4ax.tlb
On the path:
<drive:Python install directory>\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.1-msw\wx\lib
If you don't, then you haven't run the wxPython Demo and played
asteroids.
If you have, these files will be picked up by py2exe.
I have had the line "bundle_files" commented out for YEARS, but put it
into the "Setup" function of your py2exe script:
setup(
options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1,
"optimize": 2,
"ascii": 1,
"bundle_files": 3,
"packages": ["encodings"],
"includes": ["decimal","shlex","os"],
}
},
zipfile = None,
# console = [program],
bundle_files = [
(r"wx/lib",[r"C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.1-msw\wx\lib\myole4ax.idl",r"C:\Python275\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.1-msw\wx\lib\myole4ax.tlb"])
]
windows = [program],
)
See if that works.
Chris.
