Creating Zip file like java jar file

[zaheer.agadi]

Hi,
I want to create zip file equivalent to java jar file,I created a zip
file of my sources and added some __main__.py
some how I am getting an error saying __main.py does not exist in the
zip file

Copyproject(main folder)
|
|_____src(folder)
| |
| |__Nertworkpackage
| | |
| | |__Storepackage
| | |
| |__FtpPackage |__module1.py
| |__module2.py
|____ tests |__ module3.py

Copyproject(main folder) | |_____src(folder) | | | |__Nertworkpackage
| | | | | |__Storepackage | | | | |__FtpPackage |__module1.py | |
__module2.py |____ tests |__ module3.py

Module1 takes some commandline parameters that will do some operation
Like If I say
" module1.py --uploadFile <file name> " A file should get uploaded
(this works)
Now I want to do
Copyproject.zip --uploadFile <filename> to upload the file

How should I do this, I tried to put __main__ parallel to src folder
it says __Main__.py not found in Copyproject.zip..?

__main__.py must exist in the root directory.

__main__.py must exist in the root directory.

What do you mean by root directory..?What is this directory in
Windows..?You mean the top level folder of the project?in my case
copyproject folder..?

What do you mean by root directory..?What is this directory in
Windows..?You mean the top level folder of the project?in my case
copyproject folder..?

root directory is the topmost directory (imagine a tree, the root is
where all the branches branched from), in this case the root directory
is your copyproject main folder.

is your copyproject main folder.

I wonder, I do have the __main__.py in the root directory,but still
getting
python.exe cannot find __main__.py in CopyProject.zip

I used the following command
python Copyproject.zip -m __main__.py --uploadFile and also tried with
python Copyproject.zip --uploadFile
both give me the same error , I can see the sys.path contains the
project folder.

The top of the tree inside the zip file. Depth zero. Not inside any
directory. Above anything else. Just a bare name.

Open your zip using the zipfile module:

import zipfile
z = zipfile.ZipFile("xxx.zip")
z.printdir()

You should see a line starting with __main__.py *without* any / in it.

I used the following command
python Copyproject.zip -m __main__.py --uploadFile and also tried with
python Copyproject.zip --uploadFile

Use the second one.

both give me the same error , I can see the sys.path contains the
project folder.

Uh? Which project folder? Isn't it in the .zip?

How did you create the zip? The __main__.py file has to be at the
_top level_ of the zip file. In other words:

zip test.zip __main.py othermodule.py somedir

works but

zip test.zip myproject

does not.

Yeah I meant zip file.
I can get to work but is it is not able to locate the packages,says
import error cant find the package and module

here is my code

import sys
import os.path as op
sys.path.insert(0, op.join(op.dirname(op.abspath(__file__)),
"somezip.zip"))

import zipfile
z = zipfile.ZipFile("somezip.zip")
z.printdir()

import some.storagepackage.somemodule
print "upload"
print "syspath",sys.path

#do something

should it not find the modules when the zip files is in sys.path..?

z.printdir()

import some.storagepackage.somemodule
print "upload"
print "syspath",sys.path

#do something

should it not find the modules when the zip files is in sys.path..?

For this to work not only should your zipfile contain

some/storagepackage/somemodule.py, but some and some/storagepackage must
both contain __init__.py files to be recognized as packages.

Have you tried getting your imports working from the file store and then
zipping up what works afterwards?

regards
Steve

Thanks a lot Gabriel, yes this works fine when I am running it
outside of zip.
when I say python __main__.py --uploadfile it works fine
I dont know what happens when I zip it.

And Steve: all of the packages have __init__.py inside them, I have
posted the tree structure of application if it helps.

Thanks a lot folks it is solved now,the problem was I had to create a
zip file from the location where actual package declarations are there
and not from the top level directory whatever I had.
I created zip file from the src directory of the my tree which had all
the packages as its next level contents and imports were resolved.

So the __main__.py is recognized and runs. That's good news. But I see
*another* __main__.py listed that should not exist, in a directory BRU.
Are you sure you tested using the *outer* __main__.py? And what is that
__init__.py?

Test in *another* directory, not your development environment, and remove
all those extra artifacts like .svn directories and such that you're not
going to deploy, I presume.

I see "network" inside "src" in your directory tree. For something like
"ipmort network.storage" to work, "src" must be in the import path used by
Python (sys.path).
