PyGTK and pyexe

[Viktor]

Did anybody managed to "pack", a program that uses pygtk with pyexe?

The best result I got was:

Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion faled:
(glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting...

I'm using python2.4, pygtk-2.6.1-1.win32-py2.4, gtk-win32-2.6.4-rc1.

Thanks in advance.

I used the instructions in the PyGTK FAQ and managed to get it working.
Take a look at:

Cheers,

Nope, it doesn't work... I've tried that and the only thing I got was:

ImportError: could not import pango
ImportError: could not import pango
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 5, in ?
File "gtk\__init__.pyc", line 113, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Font'

But it has:
71


The only way it works is with this setup.py:

.........................................................................

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import glob

opts = {
"py2exe": {
"includes": ["pango", "atk", "gobject", "gtk"],
"dll_excludes": ["iconv.dll", "intl.dll",
"libatk-1.0-0.dll", "libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll",
"libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll", "libglib-2.0-0.dll",
"libgmodule-2.0-0.dll", "libgobject-2.0-0.dll",
"libgthread-2.0-0.dll", "libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll",
"libpango-1.0-0.dll", "libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll"]
}
}

setup(
name = "test",
description = "Test GUI programm",
version = "0.1",
windows = [{
"script": "test.py",
"icon_resources": [(1, "test.ico")]
}],
options=opts,
data_files=[("pixmaps", glob.glob("pixmaps/*.png")),
("glade", glob.glob("glade/*.*"))
],
)

.........................................................................

But it's not stand-alone, it needs GTK, and when I copy all the dlls
needed in the dist directory, I get the same message as before.

Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion faled:
(glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting...

By the way, I'm allways getting this message at the end:

The following modules appear to be missing
['gdk', 'ltihooks']

Hmmmm. Well, the way I did it, if I remember correctly (the files are at
work), was to run the line "python setup.py py2exe --force --excludes gtk,
gobject,pango" and then copied the entire GTK directory into the
distribution directory. Just copying the DLLs doesn't suffice since there
are other files required for GTK to operate properly (config files, icons,
etc, etc). Once I got it working, I tried removing files from the GTK tree
that didn't look important and was able to halve the size of the resulting
package.

It took a while to figure out the first time but all subsequent builds have
been as simple as running that one python command and copying my custom GTK
directory into the dist directory.

Without being at my desk, that's the best I explanation I can give. If
Monday rolls around and you still don't have it working, send an e-mail to
my work account: tom [dot] cocagne [at] navy [dot] mil and I'll give you a
few more specifics.

Cheers,

Tom

I succeeded ))

And the winner is:

.........................................................................

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

opts = {
"py2exe": {
"includes": ["pango", "atk", "gobject", "gtk","gtk.glade"],
"dll_excludes": ["iconv.dll", "intl.dll",
"libatk-1.0-0.dll", "libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll",
"libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll", "libglib-2.0-0.dll",
"libgmodule-2.0-0.dll", "libgobject-2.0-0.dll",
"libgthread-2.0-0.dll", "libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll",
"libpango-1.0-0.dll", "libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll",
"libxml2", "libglade-2.0-0", "zlib1"]
}
}

setup(
name = "PyGTKTest",
description = "PyGTK Test Application",
version = "0.1",
windows = [{"script": "test.py", "icon_resources": [(1,
"test.ico")]}],
options=opts,
data_files=[("", ["test.glade"])]
)

........................................................................

Py2exe reports an error if I try to use --force (the command doesn't
exist), so I use only:

python setup.py py2exe --exclude
gobject,glib,gtk,glade,pango,atk,libglade,xml2,zlib

After that I make a new directory, say MyApp, copy the entire content
of
the GTK folder (I'm using the GTK Runtime Enviroment from
gladewin32.sourceforge.net) in MyApp, and then copy the content of the
dist folder into MyApp\bin.

Now I can uninstall GTK Runtime Enviroment, and Python, and it works
.

But it's pretty big, what files can I remove? (OK, I know... locales,
man
pages, examples , but what more - it's still > 20 MB?)

 

[Tom Cocagne]

I remember removing the locales and all of the documentation. Beyond that
I can't remember. If your app falls under the common case of running on
machines with ample disk space, I wouldn't worry too much about the size.
WinZip does a pretty good job of shrinking my distribution file to a
managable size for network transfer.
