Hello everyone!
I used py2exe on a Twisted app of mine and I get this exception :
Traceback (most recent call last): File "proj\service.pyc", line 1308, in connectionMade

Has anyone ever had this problem while using plugins with Twisted and py2exe?
No, but from the traceback, it seems fairly clear that the plugin system is trying to write a plugin cache file into your py2exe-created zip file of Python source. This won't work, of course. You could try making sure the cache file is up to date and including it in the zip file, but I have no idea if this will actually produce sensible behavior. The other possibility is to actually teach the plugin system about zip files (ie, contribute a patch to Twisted to support this case).
Jean-Paul Ok, I could do this, teach it abot zip files and have it update it's cache in the zip file, but in certain cases, like mine actually, if you tell

Updating the cache in the zip file probably isn't the right thing to do. Just skipping cache generation would probably make more sense. It should be easier to implement, anyway. As far as I can tell, it doesn't make sense to allow the cache location to be specified as configuration, though. Skipping cache file generation should be fine. Jean-Paul
