[python-win32] Python Windows Socket problem after Py2exe and install

[Andrew Spagnoletti]

Hi Malcolm,

 

Problem solved! For some reason _socket.pyd was not added to the
install; I manually included it with Advanced Installer and now it
works.

 

I can only presume that with my other application (the one that included
CherryPy and simplejson) I have some 'include' that causes _socket.pyd
to be included in my Windows install, but this application did not.

 

Sorry if I wasted your time. I would just like to say that I have been
programming for the past 40 years (but only the last 3 in Python with
wxPython) and what a pleasure Python and all its associated programs
have been, with unbelievable support. I am sure that many others, like
me, appreciate the time and expertise that people like you and your
colleagues  give so generously to this community.

 

Thanks again,

 

Andrew

 

Tom,

 

> You don't need to add a whole load of imports inside a "if False"
block to make py2exe add them. If I recall correctly there is a option
in py2exe to force exclude and include modules when compiling.

 

<embarrased grin> DOH! You're right! </embarrassed grin>

 

I've been doing a lot of work with our automated build cycle and I must
have looked at 100 different setup.py's. We do use these features to
fine tune our py2exe setup scripts for each application. We just missed
using these features for forcing our large 'standard library (kitchen
sink)' collection of modules.

 

Good catch!

 

Thank you,

Malcolm
