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")
