Hi Martin,
Here are the results of my experiments to try to get the simple
statement "import matplotlib" working. As advised I used the spec file
generated by pyinstaller 1.5.1 makespec.py as my starting point. The
python script is called mymatplotlib.py and includes only the line:
import matplotlib
The executable always gets made but there is always the error -
"RuntimeError: Path in environment MATPLOTLIBDATA not a directory". The
same error occurs whether I'm using Matplotlib 0.99.1 or 1.1.0. The
error occurs in _get_data_path() in matplotlib\__init__.py
The original mymatplotlib.spec made using makespec.py was as follows:
# -*- mode: python -*-
a = Analysis([os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\_mountzlib.py'),
os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\useUnicode.py'), 'mymatplotlib.py'],
pathex=['C:\\Python26\\pyinstaller-1.5.1'])
pyz = PYZ(a.pure)
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts,
exclude_binaries=1,
name=os.path.join('build\\pyi.win32\\mymatplotlib',
'mymatplotlib.exe'),
debug=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
console=True )
coll = COLLECT( exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=True,
name=os.path.join('dist', 'mymatplotlib'))
The following changes do not prevent the runtime error (NB I have not
tried every possible combination ;-)):
* deleting coll = COLLECT(...)
* changing upx to False in EXE(...)
* including a.binaries in EXE(...)
* changing exclude_binaries to False in EXE(...)
* changing matplotlib version from 0.99.1 to 1.1.0
* adding hookspath=[os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'hooks')]
Does anyone have any ideas? I have tried to strip everything down to the
simplest level possible.
All the best, Grant

Hi Martin,
Thanks for that. I have used pyinstaller 1.5.1 to make an initial spec
file and I have been able to modify that spec file to make exes
without getting the original error. The remaining problem seems to be
matplotlib - more specifically, it can't find the mpl-data folder. I
think the sole reason my earlier script produced an exe which worked
on my dev machine but not a clean install was that the dev machine
contained the mpl-data in the path the exe was looking for it in.
I have looked at the path my exe was expecting the mpl-data when
testing it on the clean XP machine
("C:\DOCUME~1\GRANTP~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\_MEI8802") and nothing was there.
Problems with matplotlib of this sort should be fixed by the new hooks
but I still seem to have a problem.
I'll keep trying things but any tips would be appreciated. I feel the
solution is very close but slightly out of reach ;-)
All the best, Grant

Are there any experiments I can run to make the cause more obvious.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
My advice would be to try recreate .spec file directly with pyinstaller
1.5.1 or with current svn trunk.
