Well sort of....... Highly experimental - I'm interested in ways of improving this.
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/pythonutils.html#testenv I've created a script that will build a 'test environment'. Windoze(tm) only as it uses py2exe. It scans your Python\Lib folder (configurable) and builds a script that *fakes* an import of every module (along with some boilerplate). This, more or less, amounts to everything in the standard lib. There is then a normal setup.py to turn this into a python executable. The result is an executable that will run any python script. It gives sensible values for sys.path, sys.argv and __file__. This is useful for various purposes : 1) Easily have test environments for multiple versions of python - to test your scripts. 2) Run any python script on a machine without python installed. 3) Deploying several scripts using py2exe - one build fits all. Usage : testenv <python file> arg1 arg2... Which should be the equivalent of : python <python file> arg1 arg2... Sample output : (Built with Python 2.4 - then 2.3 - prints sys.version first) ######## D:\New Folder\testenv>testenv test.py arg1 arg2 arg3 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] sys.path = ['D:\\New Folder\\testenv\\library.zip', 'D:\\New Folder\\testenv', ' D:\\New Folder\\testenv'] sys.argv = ['D:\\New Folder\\testenv\\test.py', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3'] import Tkinter # succeeded import dummylibrary # succeeded D:\New Folder\testenv> ########## D:\Python Projects\modules in progress\py2exe-testenv\dist>testenv test.py arg1 arg2 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] sys.path = ['D:\\Python Projects\\modules in progress\\py2exe-testenv\\dist\\lib \\shared.zip', 'D:\\Python Projects\\modules in progress\\py2exe-testenv\\dist', 'D:\\Python Projects\\modules in progress\\py2exe-testenv\\dist'] sys.argv = ['D:\\Python Projects\\modules in progress\\py2exe-testenv\\dist\\tes t.py', 'arg1', 'arg2'] import Tkinter # succeeded import dummylibrary # succeeded D:\Python Projects\modules in progress\py2exe-testenv\dist> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm sure this can be improved in lots of ways. Comments and suggestions for improvements welcomed. Thanks already to Bruno Thooreens for his help. Regards, Fuzzy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
