[Baypiggies] p2exe ... Solved (and solution)

[David Berthelot]

Thanks to everyone for your prompt help, I just wanted to let you know the outcome.

Giles' solution worked for me: I installed MingW and built my extension with it. Now it works flawlessly with py2exe and the archive works properly when used on a different computer.

In the past I've managed to get extensions built with mingw to
play ok with the standard  build of python, but that was for Python 2.3
so things may have changed...

http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/Python%20extensions

Might be worth investigating.

I was kind of avoiding to rebuild python with 2005 because I'm afraid to
run into other problems and I would also have to recompile all the
libraries that I use, namely numpy, PIL and wxpython which I never
compiled on windows (and that may bring me to recompile the core
libraries on which these wrappers are based, namely blas (and all the
other mathematical libraries that numpy uses) and wx as well, ...). I
have the feeling there must be a simpler way.

Building python with 2005 might help ?
