Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere and so far, trial and error hasn't gotten me far either.
Using python 2.4, I've created a testing application. When the app starts up, I do a [code]from tests import *[/code] and it looks at the /tests directory and loads up all the tests it finds at that time. This works fine when interpreting the python code directly. The problem I'm having is trying to create an executable for distribution. What I'd like to be able to do is to include everything in the library.zip *except* the tests directory and then as I (or whoever) creates more and more tests, have the ability to simply drop them into the directory and the next time the app starts, it'll pick them up. However, if I don't include the tests in library.zip, then when I hit the [code]from tests import *[/code], it complains "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'test1'" when it gets to the first test. And If I do include the tests in the library.zip, it works with the tests that I have now, but then I still can't add any new ones without the attribute error unless I regenerate the exe every time. Basically, it seems like it comes down to importing a package outside the library.zip. So, is there any way to do this with py2exe? Or even another exe creating application?
