I'm encountering problems when compiling files using the pyc sample for 2.0:
My (close to first) IronPython program runs fine when called from DOS console,
but when compiled into an exe using pyc, I get the following error when running
the exe (debug in Visual Studio 2008):
System.MissingMemberException: "'namespace#' object has no attribute 'File'"
The piece of code this ties back to is:
def isFileValid(filename): att = System.IO.File.GetAttributes(filename)
mask = att.value__ if ((mask & System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden.value__) or
(mask & System.IO.FileAttributes.System.value__)): return False else:
return True
The above is not in a class, its just a function in a module which is imported
into the main py file.
I'm no expert on the matter, and as far as I can see it seems to be telling me
that System.IO does not have an Attribute 'File', which according to MSDN and
by inference from the fact the program works when called from DOS console, it
does.
What bugs me about this (pun half intended) is that a presumably correctly
compiled exe behaves differently to how the original py file ran via ipy.exe
does with reference to using libraries (before I got to this bug I also had to
change/rectify how I was importing standard libraries as the compiled exe
requires you to specifically add the path to standard python lib, but ipy.exe
interpreter doesn't...).
Have I stumbled upon an exception, or a small category of 'gotchas'; or is it
common for a compiled IronPython application to run differently from the py
files run using ipy.exe due to a number of possible reasons?
If the latter is true, then I see little point in running the py files during
development/testing of small .exe applications, you'd be better compiling
afresh every run.
The irony of all this is that the application in question is a simple GUI tool
to navigate folders, select python files and either Run (calling IPY.exe), or
Compile (using pyc and copying in the required dlls etc...), all to save me the
bother of doing these tasks with the DOS console.
Any clues as to where to go with the "'namespace#' object has no attribute
'File'" issue?
