py2exe setup script

Hi, I’m pretty unfamiliar with py2exe and I had been using it with matplotlib and it was working well. I upgraded to 0.86 and now it doesn’t work. I know this is because the installation directory is different (no longer the share folder). I thought I fixed it correctly but I get an error that indicates py2exe “can’t find lib/site-packages/matplotlib/backends or it is not a regular file”. I am assuming that it doesn’t like ‘backends’ because it is a folder and not a file. I changed my setup code to this:

data_files=[
(“matplotlibdata”,
glob.glob(os.path.join(distutils.sysconfig.PREFIX, ‘lib’, ‘site-packages’,‘matplotlib’, “*”)))]

setup(
options = options,
# The lib directory contains everything except the executables and
the python dll.
windows = [app],
data_files = data_files,
# use out build_installer class as extended py2exe build command
cmdclass = {“py2exe”: build_installer},
)

how might I change this to get it working properly? thanks!!

A feature I mentioned on the list a few weeks ago is in the 0.87
release that was pushed today. It is
"matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()". You can see it used in the
sample setup.py script below.

Begin setup.py script

Hi Charlie,

Jenny here. I'm trying to make an executable of my python program that uses
MatPlotLib. I tried your example below and I got this kind of error when I
ran the exe. I'm using python 2.3.3, MatPlotLib 0.87.3 and py2exe 0.6.5. I
really need to use the MatPlotLib don't know what to do.

Thanks,
Jenny
