Re: [pygame] path module not found

[Chris Van Bael]

Hi,

thanks for the reply, i'll surely check your code.

But we used OCempGui before in our project; as a normal python
package, not into our own tree.
The only thing we had to do was change the DEFAULTDATADIR variable in
Constants.py.
The path in that variable is hardcoded at installationtime, and we
changed it when generating to "."
Of course we copied the datadir to the root of /dist.
That worked fine before.

Since we took OCempGui in, we made the path dependant on our package
dir, so I doubt that is the problem here.

[pygame] path module not found

[Chris Van Bael]

Hi all,

recently we took in OCempGui into our project (we copied it) and
started using Pango for RTL.
Now I have problems with my Py2Exe-ed program.  (running from sources
works fine)
Output I get:

C:\Childsplay_sp\dist\.\childsplay_sp\ocempgui\widgets\themes\default\DefaultEngine.py:43:

At the moment I have both Numpy and Numeric in my dist dir, but we
should adapt our program so that we only use Numpy.
Any idea which path module it is that is missing?

Thanks,

Re: [pygame] Problems with py2exe and Pygame

[Chris Van Bael]

Hi,

you can use the datafiles option in your setup.py to copy the font.

Maybe take a look at my setup.py script:
http://schoolsplay.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/schoolsplay/branches/childsplay_sp/windows/setup.py?view=markup
It's fairly straight forward.

Hi list,
I want to add textboxes and buttons to my pygame game. For example, I want to

Is there a standard way/component to do this?

I have looked at 'pgu' but it is a bit overkill and I'm not sure how to blend

Any thoughts?

Hi Matt,

I don't know of a standard way of doing this in PyGame, but OCempGui
is in fact a nice GUI toolkit for PyGame.

Re: [pygame] Re: PyGame and Py2Exe 0.6.6

[Chris Van Bael]

Thanks all for the replies.

At the moment I'm using the --skip-archive commandline option to get
rid of the library.zip.
It's not really documented, I found it only in the release notes of a
0.6.x version.
Problem is that I now have many libraries in my directory.  But I
expect to be able to trim a few of these.  Is there maybe an option to
include only the libraries I provide?

Apparently I'm also using bundle-files=3, but I really don't know what
it does...

It's kind of embarrassing, but I've been using Py2EXE the dumb way. I
put a very basic "setup.py" file and some copy of my actual code into
the C:\Python24 directory, even though the code normally lives in
C:\Code and there's a whole directory structure that needs copying. Then
I run Py2EXE, then manually copy my graphics, music (etc.)
subdirectories into the new C:\Python24\dist location. This gives me a
directory I can then ZIP up and distribute to Windows users without Python.

As I understand it, this is a bad method!


It works, so it's not that bad ;-)
In fact the pygame2exe script for the old py2exe does exactly the same thing!
And if you give the data_files option, it's also the same thing only
now I can (I hope) reuse much of the script between py2exe and py2app.
But do you get a library.zip file?  If not, which version of py2exe
are you using and what's in your setup.py file?

Chris

[pygame] Re: PyGame and Py2Exe 0.6.6

[Chris Van Bael]

Hi all,

don't think my previous mail got through, so I'll resend it.

I'm working on an installer for a python program.
I have an old pygame2exe.py script that works perfectly with python
2.3.5, pygame 1.6 and py2exe 0.3.x.
However now I want to use Python 2.4, pygame 1.8 (pre) and py2exe 0.6.6.
This gives me quite some heardaches...

In the old version py2exe didn't make a library.zip, now it does.
Problem is that copying the pygame font to /dist is not enough, it has
to be in library.zip.
How can I achieve this with my setup.py or how can I prevent the
library.zip from being made?

On a side note: where the files that are now in library.zip previously
in my executable (0.3.x)?

So how are you guys handling this for your pygame programs?

Thanks,

Chris
