wxxpython+py2exe and python27

Hi,

I have been looking for an example of wxpython2.9.*+python27 with py2exe that will work on a “clean” computer with no success.

I tried to generate a script from gui2exe, older python26 examples with menifests.

nothing worked, I can only get an EXE that works in system that has python installed.

anyone have a WORKING example?

Many Thanks,

Yoav.

Yoav,
The most likely problem is that since python 2.6 python is build
with VisualC++ 2008 so you can’t simply find and copy the “missing”
DLLs into your local directory, you need to run the Visual C++ 2008
re-distributable installer on the “other” computers first, see for details. We are bundling this by using to
create an installer for later versions of our code while at python
2.5.4 we could simply include the DLLs in the zip file.

What error are you getting when you run the exe on a machine without Python installed?

I get a crash with no meangful information…
if Gadget Steve is right it explains it

I had this case that the EXE generated by py2exe crashed on importing
a python DLL (pyd) on WinXP which had worked on Win7 (pycairo).
Exchanging the PYD with a version which was working on the XP and the
Win7 machine solved the problem. Trying with a simple pure python
"Hello World" could show if your py2exe is working properly without
wxPython.

if Gadget Steve is right it explains it

As far as I recall, the EXE generated by py2exe will complain about a
missing MSVC90.DLL, if it is not present on the systems PATH.
Unfortunately I don't have a "clean" machine without MSVCR90.DLL at
hand to recheck this.

If you are searching for a simple way to retrieve the MS-DLLs see
Point 2 at
http://cx_freeze.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview.html#microsoft-visual-c-2008-redistributable-package
This should be OK for redistributing in a company network.

Sounds like "msvcp90.dll". Just put

"msvcp90.dll",
"msvcr90.dll",
"python27.dll",
"Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest"

in the same directory as your executable.

The wiki instructions for 2.6 work for me using Python 2.7.2 and wxPython 2.9.4.0.b20120623.

http://wiki.wxpython.org/py2exe-python26

Py2.6 and Py2.7 seem to use the same version of MS runtime stuff. The above keeps them in the folder of the application where if you would use the Redistribution exe they would get installed into the sXs Window folder structure.
