-= Introduction =
[http://matplotlib.sf.net MatPlotLib] is a module to produce nice-looking plots in Python using a wide variety of back-end packages, at least one of which is likely to be available for your system.  This ability to do things in a generic fashion makes this a simple system to use, but it gets complicated if you wish to distribute an executable instead of scripts.  This page describes what I had to do to make matplotlib work with py2exe.

= Special content for setup.py to use matplotlib =
{{{
#!python
# We need to import the glob module to search for all files.
import glob

# We need to exclude matplotlib backends not being used by this executable.  You may find
# that you need different excludes to create a working executable with your chosen backend.
# We also need to include matplotlib.numerix.random_array
opts = {
    'py2exe': { 'includes': 'matplotlib.numerix.random_array',
                'excludes': ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg'],
                'dll_excludes': ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll',
                                 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll']
              }
       }

# Additional data files are required by matplotlib.  Note that the glob.glob routine
# doesn't seem to pick up the .matplotlib resource file, so I copy that separately.
# Do the same if you need to
setup(
    data_files = [(r'matplotlibdata', glob.glob(r'c:\python24\share\matplotlib\*')),
                  (r'matplotlibdata', [r'c:\python24\share\matplotlib\.matplotlibrc'])],
    name = 'demo',
    description = 'MatPlotLib Demo Program',
    console = ['demo.py']
    )
}}}

= Copying PyTZ folder =
Now copy pytz folder from C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages to your dist/ folder and you're done!


= Update for newer versions of matplotlib =
Recent versions of matplotlib (this is tested with 0.87) have changed the location where data files are found. Here is a sample setup.py that works with simple matplotlib samples. It produces massive distributions - more work needs to be done on how to exclude unused backends.

{{{
#!python
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

from distutils.filelist import findall
import os
import matplotlib
matplotlibdatadir = matplotlib.get_data_path()
matplotlibdata = findall(matplotlibdatadir)
matplotlibdata_files = []
for f in matplotlibdata:
    dirname = os.path.join('matplotlibdata', f[len(matplotlibdatadir)+1:])
    matplotlibdata_files.append((os.path.split(dirname)[0], [f]))


setup(
    console=['test.py'],
    options={
             'py2exe': {
                        'packages' : ['matplotlib', 'pytz'],
                       }
            },
    data_files=matplotlibdata_files
)
