Hi all,
Just a quick question , I have a simple script I want to convert into a windows
installer and give to some friends.
I had a look at http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html and wrote
this setup script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from distutils.core import setup
setup(name="C:\data\Sendmailmsg.py",
version='1.0',
description='Python Distribution Utilities',
author='Sebas929 ',
author_email=' ',
url=' ',
py_modules=['urllib','smtplib'],
)
I tried to run this - "C:\Data\Setup.py" bdist_wininst - in a cmd prompt.
C:\Data\ contains my script Sendmailmsg.py and Setup.py
I am getting the error :
file urllib.py (for module urllib) not found
file smtplib.py (for module smtplib) not found
file urllib.py (for module urllib) not found
file smtplib.py (for module smtplib) not found
warning: install_lib: 'build\lib' does not exist -- no Python modules to install
This creates an installer which crashes when I use it.
I have a few questions:
How can I fix this error ?
Can I use '.\myscript.py' in the name parameter to make it look in the same
directory as setup.py?
When I have it as an installer what happens? When I install it will there be
something you can click which will run the script?
I have never tried this before so I am probably missing something obvious,
thanks in advance for any help.
