Problems in py2exe 0.6.6 that should be fixed:
- When a single file executable is renamed, it does not work any longer. This is because the filename is hardcoded into the exe (to determine sys.path from it). You will get a traceback like this, because even the imports in the boot_script fail:
C:\sample\dist>sample Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\python23\lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py", line 69, in ? import linecache ImportError: No module named linecache Traceback (most recent call last): File "<install zipextimporter>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named zipextimporter Traceback (most recent call last): File "console.py", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named os C:\sample\dist>I'm currently using [http://snaury.googlepages.com/py2exe-0.6.6-libname-fix.patch this patch], works for me.
- Error reporting in MemoryLoadLibrary must be improved. When MemoryLoadLibrary fails because it cannot find a required DLL (for example), it is impossible to diagnose the problem. This is from a post to the py2exe-users mailing list:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "Wk2000.py", line 3, in ? File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module File "wx\__init__.pyo", line 45, in ? File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module File "wx\_core.pyo", line 4, in ? File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 98, in load_module ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading wx\_core_.pyd
. This error occur when no msvcp71.dll found - add this dll to program or windows/system32 director [Sep]
