Recommend a plotting library?

By the way, if you post a sample that reproduces the problem you are
having, or a setup script that doesn't work with py2exe, I am sure you
will receive a lot of suggestions.
    
Here's the script I'm using right now:

# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import matplotlib

setup(windows=[{"script":"surfacedit.py"}],
      data_files=[('',['../win32/gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot.exe',
                       '../win32/gnuplot/bin/pgnuplot.exe',
                       '../win32/gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot_pipes.exe']
                  ) + matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()],
      options={'py2exe': {'packages': ['matplotlib','pytz']}}
      )

[...]

creating python loader for extension 'matplotlib._ns_nxutils'
*** finding dlls needed ***
error: libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll: No such file or directory

I don't have such a file on my system, but this is used with a "gdk"
backend?!

What backend are you using?

Dunno -- one of the wx ones I presume.

Were do you set it?

I don't. I'm using wxmpl which I assumed was taking care of
that since the wxmpl demo apps don't explicitly set a backend.

I do this at the top of my script which uses matplotlib.

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('WXAgg')

Maybe it comes also from this line in your setup.py:

      options={'py2exe': {'packages': ['matplotlib','pytz']}}

You force the inclusion of all of matplotlib, following should be enough.

      options={'py2exe': {'packages': ['matplotlib.numerix','pytz']}}

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Hi Grant,

I don't. I'm using wxmpl which I assumed was taking care of

A part of the suggestion given by Werner:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('WXAgg')

Try to add these lines to your setup.py script:

excludes = ["Tkconstants", "Tkinter", "tcl", '_gtkagg', '_tkagg']

excludes.extend(['_gtkagg','_tkagg','Tkconstants','pywin.debugger',
'pywin.debugger.dbgcon','pywin.dialogs',
'bsddb','curses','email','distutil','logging','readline','setuptools'])

dll_excludes = ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libgobject-2.0 0.dll',
'tcl84.dll', 'tk84.dll']

You might also want to try out GUI2Exe:

That helps you in building executable files with py2exe.
