Two exe's in one py2exe dist?

Hi all,

I am writing an app that has a wxPython front end, but also a GUI-less
back end. On windows I would like to have the console and GUI both
compiled to one dir. The problem however is that calling two setup()
functions in a py2exe session, makes it overwrite the "library.zip"
file in which all the files are located for each individual exe. Is
there a way to generate two exe's in one directory with py2exe ?

I can't generate two seperate dirs because:
- The overhead will be 10+ Mb for the user
- Shared files are needed in both apps

I was thinking that perhaps I could merge library.zip from the console
and the GUI, I did some investigation and all "imported" modules are
binary compatble.

Did anyone succeed in attempting what I want?
  

Just have one setup.py generating both exe's, some code snippets from my setup.py:
# options for py2exe
options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1,
                      "optimize": 2,
                      "packages": ["encodings",
                                   "kinterbasdb",
                                   "pytz.zoneinfo.UTC", "matplotlib.numerix",
                                   "email",
                                   ],
                      "excludes": ["MySQLdb", "Tkconstants", "Tkinter", "tcl",
                                   "ormUnicode.adapters.pgsql", "ormUnicode.adapters.mysql",
                      ],
                      "dll_excludes": ["tcl84.dll", "tk84.dll", "wxmsw26uh_vc.dll"]
                      }
          }
zipfile = r"lib\library.zip"

exe1 = MetaBase(
            script = "script1.py",
            other_resources = [(RT_MANIFEST, 1, manifest_template % dict(prog="whatever name"))],
            icon_resources = [(1, r"images/exe1.ico")],
            dest_base = r"prog\exe1")

exe2 = MetaBase(
            script = "script2.py",
            other_resources = [(RT_MANIFEST, 1, manifest_template % dict(prog="whatever name 1"))],
            icon_resources = [(1, r"images/exe2.ico")],
            dest_base = r"prog\exe2")

setup(
      classifiers = ["Copyright:: whoever",
...
      windows = [exe1, exe2],
      #console = [exe1],
      options = options,
      zipfile = zipfile,
... ]
    )

Roee and Werner,

Thank you very much for those solutions! I was going nuts trying to
figure it out! :slight_smile:
I will try the zipfile solution, as that seems to be the only file
that is different.

With regards,
- Jorgen
