Hello all, i've been trying to build an .exe with py2exe. After many tentatives, it worked, but the total space used by the app goes to 30Mb. It is a simple app, that uses wxpython, matplotlib and numpy. I checked the library.zip file and notived that there is a pyQt-related file there:
Pyqt - QtGui.pyo - 8 Mb I'm not using Qt at all, so I assume it would be safe to not have this file, but I don't see how to do it. my setup.py file follows. many thanks Carlos #---------------------------------------------------------------------- from distutils.core import setup import py2exe from glob import glob # Remove the build folder, a bit slower but ensures that build contains the latest import shutil shutil.rmtree("build", ignore_errors=True) # my setup.py is based on one generated with gui2exe, so data_files is done a bit differently data_files = [("Microsoft.VC90.CRT", glob(r'c:\dev\*.*'))] includes = ['wx', 'os', 'sys', 'csv', 're', 'floatspin', 'scrolledpanel', 'customtreectrl', 'wx.lib.expando', 'wx.lib.pubsub', 'wx.lib.embeddedimage', 'wx.lib.wordwrap', 'types', 'matplotlib', 'matplotlib.pyplot', 'matplotlib.axes', 'matplotlib.figure', 'matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid', 'matplotlib.patches', 'matplotlib.lines', 'matplotlib.text', 'matplotlib.mlab', 'matplotlib.nxutils', 'matplotlib.collections', 'matplotlib.font_manager', 'numpy', 'numpy.ma', 'numpy.linalg', 'math', 'scipy.interpolate' ] excludes = ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'pywin.debugger', 'pywin.debugger.dbgcon', 'pywin.dialogs', 'tcl', 'Tkconstants', 'Tkinter', 'pydoc', 'doctest', 'test', 'sqlite3', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'email','_fltkagg', '_gtk', '_gtkcairo', '_agg2', '_cairo', '_cocoaagg', 'matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg','matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4' ] packages = ['encodings','pytz','scipy'] dll_excludes = ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll', 'tcl84.dll', 'tk84.dll', 'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll', 'libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libglib-2.0-0.dll', 'libcairo-2.dll', 'libpango-1.0-0.dll', 'libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll', 'libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll', 'libglade-2.0-0.dll', 'libgmodule-2.0-0.dll', 'libgthread-2.0-0.dll', 'QtGui4.dll', 'QtCore.dll', 'QtCore4.dll' ] icon_resources = [] bitmap_resources = [] other_resources = [] # add the mpl mpl-data folder and rc file import matplotlib as mpl data_files += mpl.get_py2exe_datafiles() setup( windows=['OpenStereo.py'], # compressed and optimize reduce the size options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 2, "optimize": 2, "includes": includes, "excludes": excludes, "packages": packages, "dll_excludes": dll_excludes, # using 2 to reduce number of files in dist folder # using 1 is not recommended as it often does not work "bundle_files": 2, "dist_dir": 'dist', "xref": False, "skip_archive": False, "ascii": False, "custom_boot_script": '', } }, # using zipfile to reduce number of files in dist zipfile = r'lib\library.zip', data_files=data_files ) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
