Vah Rashim <d233...@bsnow.net> added the comment: I'm running py2exe on python 2.6 and have this error, too. I'm look through distutils/dist.py and read following:
self.metadata = DistributionMetadata() method_basenames = dir(self.metadata) + \ ['fullname', 'contact', 'contact_email'] for basename in method_basenames: method_name = "get_" + basename setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name)) I'm printing dir(self.metadata) and get this lines: ['__doc__', '__init__', '__module__', 'author', 'author_email', 'description', 'get_author', 'get_author_email', 'get_co ntact', 'get_contact_email', 'get_description', 'get_fullname', 'get_keywords', 'get_licence', 'get_long_description', ' get_maintainer', 'get_maintainer_email', 'get_name', 'get_platforms', 'get_url', 'get_version', 'keywords', 'licence', ' long_description', 'maintainer', 'maintainer_email', 'name', 'platforms', 'url', 'version', 'write_pkg_info'] code in dist.py trying add all methods from metadata to self, even 'magic' and getters. I think, that's wrong, because no method like get___doc, get_get_contact and other. I'm solve this problem by adding regexp for checking is this method allow for adding to self. this is my (ugly, i think) code: for basename in method_basenames: if re.match(r'(__|get_|write_)\w+', basename) is None: #MY FIXES! method_name = "get_" + basename setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name)) With this change, all py2exe works work correctly (and i don't try distutils in other cases). P.S. i don't know, is this python or py2exe problem: maybe py2exe replcae nature python distutils module. ---------- nosy: +varash _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue708320> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
