[web2py] Re: Can not run web2py_no_console.exe. Version 2.8.2 on win 7 x 64

2014-02-04 Thread step
In upgrading from 2.6.4 to 2.8.2 my custom-built web2py_no_console.exe 
failed starting the rocket server with a 'can't import module http' python 
error. It's something seemingly unrelated to the other posters' issues, but 
I'm sharing how I was able to fix it, maybe it will help someone.
Essentially the fix consists in editing web2py_exe.py and commenting out 
the new code block that slims down library.zip. That was it, in my case. I 
rebuilt my web2py_no_console.exe with the fatter library.zip and the import 
error went away. The new code was added in 2.8.2, apparently it's harmless 
but in my case it makes the difference between a working 
web2py_no_console.exe and a broken one. I wonder, maybe there is a reason 
why py2exe builds a larger library.zip file seemengly full of duplicates. 
For the record, I wish the size trimming had worked - in my case it had 
shrunk library.zip from 16MB down to about 6MB.

 Now I have to roll back.

how are you custom building the binary ?

The official scripts deals with py2exe's incorrect packaging system with 
these lines

https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/extras/build_web2py/setup_exe.py#L100

BTW: we're moving towards bbfreeze packed binaries, and they seem to work 
well with bbreeze 0.13

[web2py] Re: Can not run web2py_no_console.exe. Version 2.8.2 on win 7 x 64

2014-02-04 Thread step
My setup_exe.py is attached. It adds matplotlib. My setup_exe.conf is the 
standard one plus copy_scripts: No.
I also strip some folders/files from web2py_win.zip, namely:
applications/admin, applications/welcome (but include welcome.w2p), 
applications/examples, tcl8.5/tzdata, and tk8.5/demos.
This way of building the win package has worked for me up until 2.6.4. Like 
I said it also works for 2.8.2 provided that I don't slim down library.zip 
- you can see from the attached file that I simply commented out that code 
block.
I tested swapping in/out a fat and a lean library.zip, and each time the 
lean library.zip is used python can't import module http.
