py2exe with pylab

Hi,

I got the setup.py given by Werner in an old thread (message from april 4th 2007). I putted code thereafter.

I installed matplotlib 0.90.1/ python 2.5 on windows XP

When I run the setup, it make an exception when using matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles() :

–> 13 mpdir, mpfiles = matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib_init_.py in get_py2exe_datafiles()

367    mplfiles = glob.glob

(os.sep.join([get_data_path(), ‘*’]))
368 # Need to explicitly remove cocoa_agg files or pyexe complains
369 mplfiles.remove(os.sep.join([get_data_path(), ‘Matplotlib.nib’]))
370

The problem is the same with the simple setup.py found on the py2exe website:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
#sys.argv.append(‘py2exe’)

import matplotlib

setup(
console=[‘simple_plot.py’],
options={
‘py2exe’: {
‘packages’ : [‘matplotlib’, ‘pytz’],
}

        },
data_files=[matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()]

)

-- coding: iso-8859-1 --#

from distutils.core import setup
import os
from os.path import join
import shutil

import glob

import py2exe
from py2exe.build_exe import py2exe
import sys

import matplotlib
mpdir, mpfiles = matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafile

s()

cleanup dist and build directory first (for new py2exe version)

if os.path.exists(“dist/prog”):
shutil.rmtree(“dist/prog”)

if os.path.exists(“dist/lib”):
shutil.rmtree(“dist/lib”)

if os.path.exists(“build”):

shutil.rmtree("build")

Hi,

This is probably out of date for 0.90.

I attach the one I updated at some point, also I am not sure that how I
deal with the fonts folder is the best/most elegant way but it does the
trick for me. I just tried it out to be sure that it is working with
WinVista, Python 2.5.1 and mp 0.90.1

Hope it helps

setup.py (4.36 KB)

With the setup you provided. I could get py2exe to make an exe of the simple_plot.py from simple_plot_wxagg of py2exe examples.

When I tried this on another python prog, I remarked that if I comment the following line :

import matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg

the exe created by py2exe crash and the log tells us :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “entropia.py”, line 6, in
File "
pylab.pyo", line 1, in
File “matplotlib\pylab.pyo”, line 222, in
File “matplotlib\backends_init_.pyo”, line 24, in pylab_setup
ImportError: No module named backend_wxagg

I think the same kind of problem may append with the default backend tkagg…

I use matplotlib only from within wxPython, that is why I used this example script.

Which of the matplotlib example script is closest to what you want to do? If you let me know I try to create/adapt the setup.py for it.
