Re: [python-win32] Recurring DLL error with py2exe

[Jacob Kruger]

Oh yes, and it also lets me build the .exe for the small test app making use of 
pyaudiere, so I can now get it to play sounds, with panning etc. quite easily - 
will just get some friends etc. to test this on cleaner, older versions of 
operating systems etc. once can upload the zip file to FTP server from home 
where connection is at least decent...

So, thanks again, and stay well

Thanks, Werner

Adding the reference to the dll_excludes to the options dict made the

Any thoughts on what could really be happening here, or should I try

I always explicitly bundle the *90 dlls with the exe using includes

*90 dlls you might still need explicit copies.

The simple solution which works for me is just to exclude it as I

IIRC this problem only shows up with py 2.6 and higher.

Hi,

Python is built using 2008.  You can find this in the readme.txt under the
PCbuild folder (from the 2.7.2 source at least):
"This directory is used to build Python for Win32 and x64 platforms, e.g.
Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows Server 2008.  In order to build 32-bit
debug and release executables, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
is
required at the very least.  In order to build 64-bit debug and release
executables, Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition is required at the very
least.  In order to build all of the above, as well as generate release
builds
that make use of Profile Guided Optimisation (PG0), Visual Studio 2008
Professional Edition is required at the very least.  The official Python
releases are built with this version of Visual Studio."

Thanks.
Mark

MSVCP90.DLL is one of the DLLs caught up in the Microsoft "side-by-side"
stupidity.  It cannot just be copied into a destination folder, it has
to be properly installed with a manifest.

Do you have some custom extensions?  I didn't think there were any
versions of Python that were built with Visual Studio 2008.  VS2010
wisely eliminates the side-by-side stuff for the CRT DLLs, so the
problem goes away.

Custom extensions?

Not in VS.Net itsself, and aside from other general stuff on machine, it 
still works for the other python code, and only seems to generate this 
error/issue when trying to generate .exe files for these two pieces that 
make use of either piaudiere or now wxPython as such.

Could it also maybe be something to do with this line?:
 console = ["AboutBox.py"],

Since while setup.py is running in console mode, don't know if the resulting 
wxPython based .exe runs in a console mode window as such..?
No problem, it will show a console window and a second window is opened 
with the wxPython GUI.  This is sometimes handy to track down some 
tracebacks which don't show if you use "window".

py2exe is getting confused on this DLL for some reason, you just need to 
exclude it.


dll_excludes = ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll',
