Thanks.

Subject: py2exe: W2K --> W98??

I used python2.0 and the appropriate version of py2exe to create an exe on a
W2K machine and distributed the files that end up in the dist directory to
another W2K machine, where it executed with no problems. The W2K machine did
not have any version of Python installed.

When I sent it to a W98 machine, the program started to run, but after a few
successful print statements it bombed with the message below.

    File "<string>", line 301, in ?
  WindowsError: [Errno 2] The system cannot find the file specified

My script is contained in a single file that has a call to os.popen on line
301, with no explicit call to string on that line. The string module is
imported and used elsewhere in the program.

It is possible that the W98 machine has Python 1.51 installed in the
standard fashion.

I noticed some messages about "DLL Hell" being fixed in NT in the archive of
this list server. I am wondering if py2exe has difficulties in making the
hyperspace jump from W2K to W98. How about W95, W3.1, and W/Me?

Thanks in advance.

No idea on a better list, but you're likely looking at the wrong stuff.
<string> is the filename for the main script, which is just a string inside
the executable after py2exe is done with it. Most likely your win98 machine
doesn't have the executable, doesn't have it in the path, or the path is
mis-specified. Try running the popen command at the command line on that
machine from the directory where the script is operating. As an extra hint,
do an import pdb; pdb.set_trace() right before the command that's failing,
then you can tool around in the debugger on the win98 machine and see what
kind of errors you're getting.

HTH,
Mike
