py2exe dll file

The .dll file that py2exe creates to go with the program is huge even for a
small program. Is there any way to possibly optomize the .dll file to make
it smaller?

Hello,

small program. Is there any way to possibly optomize the .dll file to make
it smaller?

Which dll? Depending on your program it might have several dlls in the
dist/prog directory.

If size does matter you might want to try upx
(http://upx.sourceforge.net/). With --best it reduced python23.dll
from 952k to 386k and my proram seems to work.

HTH.

Oh, the one I have compiled only produced one (python23.dll) so I didn't
know that.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Hi all, I can't get a py2exe compiled app to run with numarray (numarray-0.5.win32- py2.2). Also wxPythonWIN32-2.3.3.1-Py22 and ActivePython-2.2.1-222. In the sample below, commenting out "import numarray" allows the exe to run. Left in, I get "4.exe has generated errors" etc. I'm going around and around and there isn't much on Google. py2exe output is last.

First time trying to create an executable with py2exe. I have a small program which makes use of python23 (2.3.5?), wxpython ('2.6.2.1'), matplotlib ('0.83.2'), win32com (latest?), Numeric ('23.7') on Windows XP & Win2000. The program runs without problem but as an exe it doesn't even get to showing the GUI. I get the following error log when I run the executable.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
