Hello Nicolas,
I'm writing a small application for name generation, that I want to share with
various people. Unfortunately, a lot of said people are not passionate
GNU/Linux user as I am, and so porting the application for windows is
important. I am not a main windows developer. I didn't use C to write the app
and I already have a small prototype in python3 that works under Gnu/Linux
using PyGObject for Gtk3. I now want to, firstly, have a decent installation
of PyGObject and Gtk on windows so the program run and, secondly, be able to
build an installer bundling the python and gnome dependencies to run standalone
on windows.
I'm already stuck at that first step. After many failures, I reinstall python3 with the
official install and with pip. Since pip show PyGObject to be of version 2-28-3 when
downloading it, which seems waaay outdated, I tried to pick a more official installer
from this sourceforge page : http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/files/. The
installer fails to recognize a key in the registry and suggest to find the installation
path from %PATH%. It does find the correct installation directory
"C:\Python-35\Lib\site-packages". I select the base package, Gtk, Glade and
the documentation browser to be installed. The installer finishes successfully. Glade
and devhelp run without problem, however I cannot load pygobject in python itself.
>>> from gi.repository import Gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'gi'
The folder site-packages, only lists a folder "gnome" (besides pip, setuptools, easy_install and
pkg_resources). Importing package "gnome" yield an empty package. Am I missing a step? What
should I do for being able to import "gi" under windows?
Python developers concerned with windows, please help me! I thank you already!
We have the same sort of configuration issues for the Gramps genealogy
program. I'm a developer for that, but I only work on Linux myself. We
have a fellow developer who works on the Windows version though, for
which we have an all-in-one installer that was initially created by
another developer.
For Gramps, we have separate installers for 32 and 64 bit Windows
versions, and you may need the same, although I think that for a simple
application 32 bit will be enough.
Anyway, if you are interested, you may ask for advice on the Gramps
developers list:
http://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/
You can also look at the mail history on that list, and see old
discussion about this.
regards,
Enno
