Py2exe and logging module

[sfbell09]

Hi,

My question is about the logging module and py2exe. When my code is in
natural python, all of the logging works perfectly. I have two logging
functions, one is a File Handler, the other is a SMTP handler. Once I
build the code using py2exe, the File Handler still works, but the
SMTP does not send any messages.

1. Any thoughts on why this might be happening.
2. Is there any way for the executable to return debugging
information? It's a wxPython gui app.

Thanks.

A quick & dirty way is to build with py2exe's --console option, and
traceback will print in the DOS window (which will close if your app
quits - so handle those exceptions).

Other suggestions: run in a debugger, or log activities to a file or to
a separate wxPython frame|statusbar|text control.

Peace,
