Subject: [wxPython] wxPython Stand-alone EXE
As a newcomer to both Python and wxPython my voice joins the
chorus of cheers for this fabulous wx wrapper library. It is
indeed completely awesome.
I must create stand-alone Win32 exe's. Gordon's Win32/Linux
installer system is wonderful but has too many options for
beginners and too little documentation. What documentation exists
leans heavily toward the Tk GUI tools and lacks any commentary on
the wxPython alternative.
What I would like from the list is a minimal app script (*.py)
PLUS the requisite configuration files / build scripts /
instructions to make a stand alone exe. The script called
Standalone.py by itself doesn't seem to cut it. I have made
stand-alones but they don't work on all machines, just my own.
In particular I would like a stand-alone folder that does not
perform any magic decompressions of DLLs. I want the whole
enchilada in one folder. I need to copy this folder to other PCs
and let people run my programs. (If I need to check DLL versions
in their Windows/System folders, I can do that, but I still want
the DLL in my distribution folder.)
So far I understand that the build script must run python-w not
python (that took a while). Then I follow that the ultimate tool
is builder.py which depends upon interlocking config files that
are in turn generated by Simple.py and Standalone.py, etc. The
problem is that I am not clear what builder wants to do. The
documentation is terse and assumes a lot of prior Python
knowledge. I have generated what I thought were stand-alones but
they turned out to be self-extractors, and did not work on other
systems. I get a beep and that's it.
Could someone send me a Windows ZIP archive with a minimal
wxPython app, plus the build scripts and/or config files? Might I
also suggest that this stand-alone tutorial archive be posted to
the wxPython site? It would be a great help for beginners like me
and probably boost interest in wxPython as a serious software
development tool.
If there is a FAQ somewhere with these answers, please send the
URL. I have looked everywhere online and done enough experiments
to reach the point of asking for help.
Thanks everyone,
Mark Evans
