py2exe/wxpython demo

[Bryan]

just for fun and my own experience, i wanted to use py2exe to wrap the wxpython demo. i put the setup script in the
demo directory which is the following:


from distutils.core import setup
import glob
import py2exe

setup(windows=['demo.py'],
data_files=[('bitmaps', glob.glob('bitmaps/*.*')),
('data', glob.glob('data/*.*')),
('bmp_source', glob.glob('bmp_source/*.*')),
('', glob.glob('*.py'))],
)




and ran the command like this:


setup py2exe --ignores wx.BitmapFromImage,wx.EmptyIcon
--includes ActiveX_FlashWindow,ActiveX_IEHtmlWindow


this was successful except for one thing... do i really have to explictly list every script file in the demo directory
in the --includes argument on the command line? there are so many. i was hoping to somehow be able to add it in the
script as a glob, but nothing i did worked. in case you aren't aware, the .py files in the demo directory is used both
as a data file which is why i added them in the data_files section, and also as python scripts which needs to be added
in the library.zip file. the --includes argument on the command line will correctly compile and place the .pyc files in
the library.zip, there must be a better way that having to added them all explicitly on the command line.

thanks,

bryan

You can pass these to the setup function in an 'option' dictionary:

setup(....
options={"py2exe": {"ignores":
["wx.BitmapFromImage", "wx.EmptyIcon"],
"includes": ["ActiveX_FlashWindow", "..."]}},
...)
