Python 3.5, wxPython Phoenix and py2exe

wxPython Users
1

This is really a question for the Py2exe folks, but a note or two:

Python3.5 is built with MSVS 14 (VS 2015, I think – the version numbers / names are maddening!)

https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers

THis is a new an different approach to bundling the run time libs and stuff, so I’m not the least surprised that a py2exe setup for py3.3 would not work right.

Can’t say I have any suggestions, though – but start with looking for folks using py2exe with py3.5 (or maybe check out pyinstaller instead)

I am running Windows 10 (64 bit), Python 3.5, latest wxPython Phoenix snapshot build (2016-10-27 04:19) for my version of Python and OS, and the latest version of py2exe (version 0.9.2.2).

I’ve made a wxPython Phoenix app a while ago. The app was coded running Python 3.3 and the appropriate wxPython Phoenix snapshot build for it.

Back then, I’ve made an executable distribution of the app using py2exe.

Now I upgraded my Python version to 3.5, wxPython Phoenix’s snapshot build accordingly, and py2exe as well (can’t recall which version of py2exe I had back then). I am now no longer able to create the same executable distribution of the app. Please note that the code of the app was not modified in any means, it’s the very same as it was.

I left my project to rest for quite a while and kind of forget about it, but now I want to expand it (yay, more features!). Just for a test, I tried to create an executable distribution of my app with this latest and greatest tools (Python, wxPython Phoenix, and py2exe) and it turns out I can’t.

py2exe runs, but the ‘dist’ folder contains only a ZIP file with copies of the app’s modules, no EXE file is there and nothing really to actually distribute.

What on Earth have they done to the tools that don’t work as they used to?

What should I do to make this baby work again?

The contents of my setup.py script for this app are:

from setuptools import setup

import py2exe

setup(name=“Test”,

version=“1.0”,

author=“Boštjan Mejak”,

author_email="bostjan.xperia@gmail.com",

license=“GPLv3”)

Try to look at other alternatives to Py2Exe such as PyInstaller, cx_Freeze, bbfreeze, or py2app (on Mac).

Hope this helps.
