[Pythonmac-SIG] newbie py2app problem - "ImportError: no module named code"

[anonymous user]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the response!  I actually used one of your older posts from 2006 to help get me started with py2app, so I'm doubly indebted.

Ok, so the reason I originally explicitly listed wx as a package is because I got the following error when running the .dmg file using the "raw" setup.py script straight out of py2applet:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/pekalmj1/tmp/foo2/dist/driver.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 137, in <module>
    _run('driver.py')

    execfile(path, globals(), globals())

    from wx import *

I had no idea what this meant, and assumed it had something to do with needing to specify wx as a package explicitly.  Based on your feedback, I went back and changed my "from wx import *" to a "import wx" (which, as you pointed out, I should have done in the first place).  The resulting .dmg seems to work!  I haven't yet tried dropping the dmg on another platform to ensure that it's not really still picking up my locally installed wx libs behind the scenes, but this definitely seems to have repaired the import code problem.  

Thanks again for your time - I think I would have just punted on this without your help!
