Re: [pygame] Movies in .exe

[Ian Mallett]

I tried the py2exe thing with the bundle files parameter, but it doesn't
include the .mpg, for some reason.  I think pymike states what I'm after
best--better than I did originally.  Sorry--I've been feeling under the
weather recently...

Re: [pygame] Movies in .exe

[pymike]

I think what he's wanting is bundling his data files in the .exe. ie

[game files]
Game/Source.py
Game/Data/Mpeg.mpg

[run setup]
python setup.py

You get this exe with all the data files included into it:
Game.exe

The stuff above looks like its only for including source files and such.

You can use py2exe's "bundle my files" parameter.  That adds the zip
file to the exe.  Browse around in the py2exe docs and examples, it'll
tell you how to do it and how to get a file pointer back out.

http://code.google.com/p/pefile/ can access the resource fields of an  
executable. You will either need to buffer the data in a temp file or  
a stringio buffer though. You could also use the same library to add  
the movie into the executable. This does seem a good bit harder that  
just putting it in the zip though.

Yes, I've gotten it to work that way, but I want the file to be inside the
.exe itself, not just in the same folder ;)

first sorry for my english.


you can put the file .mpg in folder dist created by py2exe, and in your code
you call the movie.  Will be that?

[pygame] Movies in .exe

[Ian Mallett]

Hi,

I have a .mpg movie that I want to play in a .exe, but I also want the movie
file to be included inside the .exe itself.  I came up with two solutions:
1. Supposedly, this is possible with py2exe, but I don't know how.  I looked
at http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/CustomDataInExe, I couldn't figure it
out.
2. The alternative is storing the movie file in the .py file itself as a
string.  I tried this, but I don't know how to transform the string into a
suitable object for pygame.movie.Movie().

Ideas, anyone?
Ian
