Correct me if I'm wrong you are the one that referred to it as a security measure "No, this would contradict the security measure." > The current solution is one measure. Can you please elaborate which other "measures" are you using? Also try this: create a file named: usercustomize.py which contains: import os os.setuid(1000) spawn in to super user ./pyinstaller/pyinstaller.py "You are running PyInstaller as user root." As expected. PYTHONPATH=. ./pyinstaller/pyinstaller.py Requires at least one script file. Now, what happened to the "security measure" ? At least it seems I've found a work-around without having to alter the PyInstaller code ;) -- > Schönen Gruß > Hartmut Goebel > Dipl.-Informatiker (univ), CISSP, CSSLP > > Goebel Consult > http://www.goebel-consult.de > > Monatliche Kolumne: > http://www.cissp-gefluester.de/2011-11-in-troja-nichts-neues > Blog: http://www.goebel-consult.de/blog/20060920 > > Goebel Consult ist Mitglied bei http://www.7-it.de/ > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
