- 1. '''Since I started using !PyInstaller under Windows, I started seeing
!DeprecationWarning which did not exist before, such as: {{{C:\program
files\python23\lib\fcntl.py:7: DeprecationWarning: the FCNTL module is
deprecated; please use fcntl}}}''' [[BR]] This is a known issue with
!PyInstaller under Windows. The workaround is to delete {{{fcntl.pyc}}} from
your {{{python\lib}}} directory. [[BR]]
1. '''Is there a way to open a ticket?''' [[BR]] You may open a ticket login
as openticket and using that same information as the password.
1. '''With !PyInstaller, I don't get Windows XP themes in my application with
wxPython! ''' [[BR]] Make sure you are using at least !PyInstaller 1.3, and
that you are building a windowed mode executable (pass {{{-w}}} to
{{{Makespec.py}}}).
- 1. '''What about [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources
pkg_resources]?''' [[BR]] {{{pkg_resources}}} is currently not supported by
!PyInstaller. This means that an application using a library which uses the the
{{{pkg_resources}}} API will probably not work out of the box.
- 1. '''What about {{{.egg}}} files?''' [[BR]] !PyInstaller trunk fully
supports .egg files: they are bundled as-is so that all their features (eg:
entry points) work correctly.
+ 1. '''What about {{{.egg}}} files?''' [[BR]] !PyInstaller trunk fully
supports .egg files: they are bundled as-is. In one-dir mode, you will see them
on the filesystem; in one-file mode, they will be unpacked within the temporary
directory along with dynamic libraries. This is actually a workaround, but it
is better than nothing, and makes sure that all .egg features (eg: entry
points, pkg_resources, etc.) work correctly. Notice that PyInstaller **does**
inspect .egg files at build-time and correctly look for dependencies they bring
in.
+ 1. '''What about [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources
pkg_resources]?''' [[BR]] {{{pkg_resources}}} is currently not supported by
!PyInstaller. This means that an application using a library which uses the the
{{{pkg_resources}}} API will probably not work out of the box. The only
situation in which it works is when it's being used on .egg files (see above).
1. '''Under Linux, I get runtime dynamic linker errors, related to libc. What
should I do?''' [[BR]] The executable that !PyInstaller builds is not fully
static, in that it still depends on the system libc. Under Linux, the ABI of
GLIBC is backward compatible, but not forward compatible. So if you link
against a newer GLIBC, you can't run the resulting executable on an older
system. The solution is to compile the bootloader on the ''oldest'' system you
have around, so that it gets linked with the oldest version of GLIBC. Then, you
can copy the bootloader binaries ({{{support/loader/*}}}) into your development
system and run {{{Build.py}}} there.
