[Pygui] Distributing a PyGUI application on Windows.

[Mark Melvin]

I had issues as well.  I found that this setup.py works for me.  I also had
to import the PyGUI modules specially in my main script as follows:

from GUI.Buttons import Button
from GUI.RadioGroups import RadioGroup
from GUI.RadioButtons import RadioButton
from GUI.Labels import Label
from GUI.CheckBoxes import CheckBox
from GUI.Frames import Frame
from GUI.Applications import Application
from GUI.Menus import Menu
from GUI.MenuLists import MenuList
from GUI.Windows import Window
from GUI.Sliders import Slider
from GUI.Colors import rgb
from GUI.Resources import resource_path, find_resource
from GUI.FileDialogs import request_old_file
from GUI.Files import FileRef, FileType, DirRef

Here are the contents of my setup.py file:

# Build an executable for my_script.
#
import sys
import os

# Yet another *hack* to get py2exe to work.  It can't seem to find
# win32com.shell.

# ModuleFinder can't handle runtime changes to __path__, but win32com uses
them
try:
    # py2exe 0.6.4 introduced a replacement modulefinder.
    # This means we have to add package paths there, not to the built-in
    # one.  If this new modulefinder gets integrated into Python, then
    # we might be able to revert this some day.
    # if this doesn't work, try import modulefinder
    try:
        import py2exe.mf as modulefinder
    except ImportError:
        import modulefinder
    import win32com
    for p in win32com.__path__[1:]:
        modulefinder.AddPackagePath("win32com", p)
    for extra in ["win32com.shell"]: #,"win32com.mapi"
        __import__(extra)
        m = sys.modules[extra]
        for p in m.__path__[1:]:
            modulefinder.AddPackagePath(extra, p)
except ImportError:
    # no build path setup, no worries.
    pass

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL
def isSystemDLL(pathname):
        if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in ("msvcp71.dll",
"dwmapi.dll", "mfc71.dll"):
                return 0
        return origIsSystemDLL(pathname)
py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL = isSystemDLL

# If run without args, build executables, in quiet mode.
if len(sys.argv) == 1:
    sys.argv.append("py2exe")
    sys.argv.append("-q")

class Target:
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        self.__dict__.update(kw)
        # for the versioninfo resources
        self.version = "1.0.0"
        self.company_name = "My Company"
        self.copyright = "Copyright 2011 Me. All rights reserved."
        self.name = "My Script"


my_script = Target(
    # used for the versioninfo resource
    description = "A cool description",

    # what to build
    script = "my_script.py",
    dest_base = "my_script")


setup(
        options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1,
                   "optimize": 2,
                   "ascii": 1,
                   "bundle_files": 3,
                   "packages" : ['GUI', 'encodings'],
                   }},
        zipfile = None,
        windows = [my_script]
    )


I hope this helps.

Regards,
Mark.
