Mike Zupan

I had some problems with urllib and py2exe under pyton2.3. I works fine
until i try to use the exe file.

Here is the error

(From the py2exe homepage:
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/)
...if your exe-file reports errors like LookupError: no codec search
functions registered: can't find encoding or LookupError: unknown encoding,
you should advise py2exe to include this package with the '--packages
encodings' command line option.

Google turns up information very quickly.

Mike Zupan

this was my command line

c:\python23\pyt hon setup.py py2exe -pPIL --packages=encodi ngs

it was using py2exe 4.2. I also tried with no = to get the same results

problem w/ numarray & py2exe...

by: RJS | last post by:

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.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
