Re: [pygame] py2exe, MSVCR71.dll and InnoSetup

[Brian Fisher]

There is no real problem here - this old concern of illegally distributing
MSVCR71.dll with python has always been fear, uncertainty and doubt with no
real foundation for concern.

If you are distributing MSVCR71.dll along with python (which you are), the
license that allows the python developers to distribute it with python
(which they do) allows you to then redistribute python and msvcr71.dll along
with it, provided you comply with the license terms - which mostly amounts
to you distributing your stuff with a license which is compatible with the
original msvcr71.dll terms with respect to that dll, which means you're not
giving your end-users any rights to distribute it independent of your
product.

Basically, for the microsoft redistributable license to actually be useful
to developers, it had to allow developers to give their product including
the redistributable to others, and then allow those other people to
redistribute the product. This is essential for being able to sell stuff in
a store, and it's essential for being able to make a library or engine type
of product. This happens with the microsoft c-run time dlls in hundreds and
hundreds of products all over the world, and microsoft never sued any of
them. Your case is not likely to be any different.

A better question is probably "what do I have to avoid to comply with the
msvcr71.dll redistributable license", and on that side, the only thing you
clearly can't do, is provide license terms that imply people can do whatever
they want with msvcr71.dll, so don't do that. If you are the worrying type
though, then dig up the original redistributable license from msvcr71.dll,
and include that in your product. If you are the worrying type and the
skeptical type, then also download the free msvc toolkit 2003 or buy visual
studio 2003, so that now microsoft is licensing the dll to you as a
redistributable, and then you can do what you want. If that's not good
enough for you, then have fun wasting your time with installer gymnastics.

[pygame] py2exe, MSVCR71.dll and InnoSetup

[Johannes Charra]

Hi,

How do I distribute my Python game to Windows users without illegally 
distributing the MSVCR71.dll?

As far as my research went, one might e.g. build an InnoSetup installer which 
will include the installation of the MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable 
package. I tried that, but my game still won't run because the DLL cannot be 
found.

I'd be grateful for any comments on how you're solving the general MSVCR71.dll 
problem.

Furthermore, if anyone is going the same way as I do (InnoSetup + MS package 
installation), maybe he or she can give me a hint on how to make InnoSetup copy 
the DLL to my app directory after installing the redist package.

Best regards,
Johannes

I heard about that, so before I posted I copied the ttf file into a

./data/ttf/freesandsbold.ttf )

And code:
self.font_path = os.path.join('.', 'data','ttf','freesansbold.ttf')
self.font = pygame.font.Font(self.font_path, 18)

And I get the parachute in my first post.

Because the Font path is in the Python/lib/site-packages/pygame dir, so if

Using the pygame default font in py2exe doesn't work for some reason.
You'll have to include the file in your distribution yourself and use

[pygame] py2exe and pygame font causes segfaults

[Jake b]

I have a game that I want to package using py2exe. I compile it, and
seems fine, but I run it and I get:

"""
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
"""

However, if I run it as normal python script, it works fine.

[ If I rename the freesansbold.ttf to something else, it end with
"IOError: unable to read font filename" as expected. ]

So I set a boolean to toggle all font creation/blits/etc... -- If it
is off, the .exe runs fine. If it is on, it fails with above error.

If I run python script , it runs fine with text on.



Any ideas?

Hi OsKaR

First make sure there's no errors in the program.  Check to see if there is
a file called "your_program's_name.exe.txt" that has an error log in it.

Another possible problem is that the exe is compiling it funny or something.
Can you post your py2exe script?

Let me know if it runs ok after compiling with that.

Re: [pygame] py2exe problems

[Brian Fisher]

There's no flag - but you can register your own python error checking
function with PyOpenGL 3.x:
  from OpenGL import error
  error.ErrorChecker.registerChecker( myAlternateFunction )
either an empty function or possibly None will disable the glGetError
call. Note that depending on the card/driver most of the glGetError
slowness can have nothing to do with python, so there can be real
benefit to disabling error checking entirely. I'm not aware of a
similar feature with PyOpenGL 2.x.

However for my particular uses, I don't want to disable error checking
- I just want the cheapest error checking I can get, which is
something I like about 2.x.

Re: [pygame] py2exe problems

Hey all,
  after a long period of frustration with PyOpenGL 3.x and py2exe not
working, I solved my problems by building PyOpenGL 2.0.1.9 for Python
2.5 on windows (I labeled it as PyOpenGL 2.1.0 to be distinct):

http://thorbrian.com/pyopengl/builds.php

It has no numeric support, and it doesn't include TOGL (tcl/tk +
PyOpenGL) but it works just as well as PyOpenGL ever did besides, and
it works with py2exe out of the box (no more "version" file hack). And
being a compiled SWIG wrapper (like all pyopengl 2.x) it is able to
raise an exception for glGetError errors after every call with minimal
overhead (as opposed to PyOpenGL 3.x and pyglet - both of which use
ctypes)

I will be using it to build my exe's for pyweek (I believe it meets
the letter and spirit of the compo given that it is just PyOpenGL
2.0.1.9 which has been out for like forever)

Re: [pygame] py2exe problems

[Brian Fisher]

I've been trying a ton of things with PyOpenGL 3.0 - installing setup
tools unzipped, pyopengl unzipped, with py2exeeggs.py and without - in
the end I keep getting the same error with the 3.0 beta:
RuntimeError: Unable to find an implementation for the 'win32' ('nt') platform

If I try to go back to the alpha I get:
TypeError: No array-type handler for type 
(value: c_ulong(0L)) registered

At the moment I'm thinking that PyOpenGL 2.0 is for me (it's compiled
C code, no ctypes), all it needs is a python 2.5 windows installer, so
I'm gonna try and tackle that (I want to be able to build exe's for
pyweek...)

That problem has popped up on the mailing list a lot - a ton really...
I don't know of a good way to solve this problem for people long term
(i.e. make sure that py2exe includes the font - although if py2exe
supported eggs I suppose they could do it), but I think if
freesansbold.ttf was in your library.zip next to font.pyd it would
probably load.

...but I avoid this problem by not using the default font and having a
"data_files" entry in my setup call for py2exe building for whatever
fonts I do use.

Re: [pygame] py2exe problems

[Brian Fisher]

That error looks very google-able now - I found this thread that seems related:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/629815?page=last

According to it, the problem seems to be that line 9 of numeric's precision.py:
---
from multiarray import zeros
---
imports numeric's multiarray when run normally, but for some reason
py2exe thinks the multiarray there should belong to numpy, and
includes it's version instead of numeric's. And the numpy's multiarray
doesn't like the numeric typecodes being passed to it.

I imagine this problem would happen to anyone who has both numpy and
numeric installed and then py2exe's a numeric using script.

The best thing would be to figure out how py2exe gets confused and
patch it so it's fixed for people in the future. As a workaround, you
could temporarily remove numpy or maybe tell py2exe to ignore numpy.

It might also be possible to modify the numeric source to explicitly
load it's own multiarray... maybe change the line in precision.py to
something like this:
---
from numeric.multiarray import zeros

This error sounds like a wrong revision level or change in the data type

Run it at the DOS prompt or command line


New problem.
My program (which only uses pygame) doesn't run when py2exe'd.  It says 
something about not being able to find the surfarray module when the .exe is 
run, but it closes almost instantly, so I can't really tell.  I upgraded to 
pygame 1.8, if that makes a difference.

Run it from the command prompt, then you'll get to see the message.

py2exe has some facilities for forcing it to include modules.

Yes.  I get an .exe.  The program says something like: the following

the .exe crashes instantly when run.

Hi!

Here is the skeleton file to use and the first 2 lines I use a batch
file to insert those names. Where the first one is the game to compile and
the second variable is the new name for the game and the executable file
that will be made.

My batch file just looks at what you placed on the command line for
names and attaches them to the setup.py file and then the rest is run at the
end of the batch file with the standard setup.py command line parameters
preceded by your version of python.

I guess there are many ways to change this skeleton for what usage you
want it for. commenting out that which you do not need as I have done or add
to the list what you need. It is the skeleton that is in the zip file.

Yeah, the data isn't automatically copied, that's why I specified that I had to 
copy my data over.
You can easily write a script that will copy your data over, using os 
functions, or shutil, or something.  That would be a question for the [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] mailing list.

Hi Luke,

That is OK, I also downloaded that one skeleton form from that other game 
and that is below. It was something someone else mentioned to me to do. I also 
had modified that other batch file as well.
The only modification I had made to it was to delete or comment out I mean, 
the references to the Windows command. I am using only the console for now 
because I am totally blind and the screen for Pygame is not screen reader 
friendly at the moment.

So I just added the console command instead and all works fine. Transports 
over my data file and all the sound files. The interesting error I was getting 
in the Windows command was from the raw_input command and where ever I had 
placed it. So I figured out quickly what was going on and got rid of the 
windows reference...

So now I can compile my game and have it all inside the dist folder. Now to 
have it all zipped up immediately as well. 

Also, in this file below there needs to be added the statement to not load 
all files that are not needed. I get a lot of stuff in this file that I did not 
get in the other one. In other words I get everything and probably do not need 
most of it. The dist folder ends up being 29 megs... 

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Luke, if you want to have this skeleton form here is that setup.py file I 
am using and the commented out windows and reference to the icon.ico...

Can you private-message me a zip of an example, with all the modules you're

what's wrong.

Re: [pygame] PY2EXE and Modules

[TW]

Hi!

I will look at it. The one I got from Luke did run except it did not
import my data. So the format for that is needed but I will experiment.
I wrote a batch file below to make the executable with the original file
that Luke gave me split in 2 files with just the file name and quotes
deleted. For that example had game.py inside the script command.
So I took that out and made 2 files and created a batch file to allow me
to just enter the name fully or just the name and then run the setup.

IT ALL WORKED!

Except my audio files stored in the data folder were not imported, so I
copied that folder over to the dist folder and it ran!

So the the next thing is to see which commands does that since the
examples I have seen have used so many different formats...thus making it so
confusing.

I will check this url out and see what it has to offer. My batch file is
below

Re: [pygame] PY2EXE and Modules

Hi Luke

I do not know either. All I know is that my main .py has several imports 
which are my other modules for specific tasks. The error comes at the very 
first import statement, line 12. Could it be because I use the from import 
statement?

I can show you that file below. The batch files is my way of making a 
universal for all programs I make and may just do away with it since the work 
for making the module list is the same about of time to enter it into the 
setup.py file. Who knows, I just want to learn the py2exe so I can get it 
working. 

I have about 9 modules to import and apparently none of them are coming in 
with the py2exe. For when running the .exe I get the error. As log as I ma not 
importing any modules I get no errors in a simple test program.

Bruce



I think you're making it more complicated than it needs to be.
I just took the example from the pygame website, and I took out all the crap 
that failed (presumably because it was for an older version of Pygame).
Then I ran it, and out popped a Build directory with an EXE inside.
Then I copied my data directories over to the Build folder, zipped it up, and 
sent it to people, and it worked fine.
I'll attach the script.

I don't really see why you're making such a complicated batch file for this.
You could put all of this scripting stuff inside the setup.py itself, and just 
use it that way.

This is confusing and unnecessarily complicated. 
It's not necessary to import modules yourself.
Py2EXE will go through your code and determine all dependencies, and build a 
library.zip for you.

The only issue that could arise is if you're generating import strings 
dynamically at runtime and eval()ing them or something, but you probably 
shouldn't be doing that anyway.

Re: [pygame] PY2EXE and Modules

[Luke Paireepinart]

I think you're making it more complicated than it needs to be.
I just took the example from the pygame website, and I took out all the crap
that failed (presumably because it was for an older version of Pygame).
Then I ran it, and out popped a Build directory with an EXE inside.
Then I copied my data directories over to the Build folder, zipped it up,
and sent it to people, and it worked fine.
I'll attach the script.

I don't really see why you're making such a complicated batch file for this.
You could put all of this scripting stuff inside the setup.py itself, and
just use it that way.

This is confusing and unnecessarily complicated.
It's not necessary to import modules yourself.
Py2EXE will go through your code and determine all dependencies, and build a
library.zip for you.

The only issue that could arise is if you're generating import strings
dynamically at runtime and eval()ing them or something, but you probably
shouldn't be doing that anyway.

Re: [pygame] PY2EXE and Modules

Hi Laura,

I just got through reading the Allan Harris spin on the issue.
Also another short sample and both use different variable names when
asking for directories.

One shows an include statement and another a PY_DIr name. It is so
confusing to try and figure out who is right and what is the real format.

I did read enough to try something and will see what happens. The need
for a dictionary and the path as the key, or the sub directory as the key
then I will try that and see if it works. But that is what I built in my
batch file...See example below, at bottom.
At the moment I have all the modules in the same directory and tried
listing them, but the error comes when running the .exe and the error is on
the very first import. As if the setup did not include them. So, there comes
the include statement which is only there on one tutorial I found.

Just getting the modules imported, the data files also, is what I need.
Also, the glob.glob( command is also mention in one place, but not in
another...

Very confusing, if just one tutorial by the person who wrote py2exe and
pygame2exe is all that is need that explains each command in detail and not
just the list from the help menu.
Some simple and not so complex, a simple tutorial on it all!

Re: [pygame] PY2EXE and Modules

[TW]

Hi Dave,

The example I did download and use was the one for the console. I also
downloaded the batch version, modified it so I can run and install things
using just the batch file command line options.

I noticed when looking at the examples that it has several commands to
use for directories and such but no explanation on the format and usage.
Search everywhere and could not find one doc on PY2EXE.

My batch file I have either asks you to enter the stuff on the command
line or I import and install the stuff via a external file and all that
works, but no module directory. My batch file makes, builds the setup.py
file needed for the compile.

I can compile a simple program with external modules. That works also
but still can not load my external modules that I have made to use so the
main program does not have a long list. I just need to know how to import
the modules and data files. For I also have sound files to import along with
the modules I have made.
I am not talking about third party modules, just the one I use for my
game, like sound.py, quadrants.py, init.py...

[pygame] PY2EXE and Modules

[TW]

I am now trying to make an executable and the PY2EXE has no tutorial to
explain how to use it's commands. I have done a search and it seems there is
none. Just a short example of one that just does the console and no imports
of modules and such. Even the sub directory examples do not explain
anything. I even tried using the help command and got nothing that would
explain where and when to use the commands, including format of...

Does anyone know of a tutorial or explanation of the commands and where
they are used?

Like I said, the PY2EXE.org has just one simple one that I have run and
works. But importing modules htere is nothing...

My guess is that you used py2exe with the "windows" argument, meaning 
that no console is opened - without a console there is no stdin for 
raw_input to use.  You can instead use the "console" argument in your 
setup.py, and your exe will open a console window allowing raw_input to 
work.


That was it exactly; thanks!

You can download the EXE with source and a few example images and 
"masks" at . It's not 
much to look at and even now I'm finding that rotated versions of these 
tiles don't quite match, but hopefully someone will get some use from it.


Looking at how the tiles turn out, the program has me imagining 
procedurally generating the transition tiles at run-time, so that the 
only landscape graphics are the raw terrain textures. Might be 
interesting to try.

[pygame] Py2EXE Error Involving raw_input

[kschnee]

I tried to build the little graphics tool I recently mentioned -- the one
that makes "edge tiles" -- into an EXE, and got a strange error. The
program runs fine in IDLE and when run directly by double-clicking the
source file, but the EXE crashes with the following error (automatically
placed in a logfile):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tile_maker.py", line 98, in ?
  File "tile_maker.py", line 90, in RunDemo
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Where the relevant line is just this:

tile1 = raw_input("Image 1 filename (BMP/PNG in same directory)?> ")

In other words the raw_input command is doing something odd in EXE form,
even before the program is able to display the prompt or accept input. Any
idea what's going on, or why this error would only appear in the EXE? This
is a very simple program with no special modules but Pygame.

I think it depends on what version of PyOpenGL and Py2EXE you have
installed - the documentation here seems to think it's no longer a
problem:

http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/py2exe.html

However, I think that at one time I tinkered with my OpenGL module to get
around this. When I looked in
python24/lib/site-packages/OpenGL/__init__.py, I saw that it was trying to
open up a version file (and, looking at your stack trace, sounds like what
you're seeing too).

What I ended up doing was rewriting the __version__ assignment in
__init__.py, like so:

try:
filename = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'version')
__version__ = string.strip(open(filename).read())

__version__ = '2.0.2.01'


Clearly a hack, but it's worked so far. You may want to verify what
version of PyOpenGL you have installed before you apply it to your own

It looks to me like the 3.x versions of PyOpenGL don't require this sort
of nonsense, if that's an option available to you.

You probably have a line like:

setup(console=[{'script':'main.py'}])

in your setup script. Instead, you want to replace 'console' with
