Hi
(complete newbie warning...:) )
I've written a script that uses pickle to store data to a file. here's the
code that stored the data:
-------------
def put(self, conf):
""" dump the preferences to a file"""
# TODO: make a backup copy of the prefs !!!!
try:
f = open(self.bacFile, "w")
except:
raise 'BadFileError', "couldn't write file"
pickle.dump(conf, f)
f.close()
---------------------------------
when running from regular python interperter, it works fine.
I need this script to run without python installed, so I've created a
stand-alone binary with py2exe. I used the following simple setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(name = 'default',
version = '0.1.0',
console = ["CLI_Backup.py"],
windows = ["Configurator.py"]
)
-------------------------
when running from this binary I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "MainFrame.pyc", line 140, in OnSaveMenuEvent
File "MainFrame.pyc", line 174, in dumpPrefs
File "NS_Backup.pyc", line 64, in put

File "pickle.pyc", line 293, in save
File "pickle.pyc", line 514, in save_unicode
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
-----------------------------
I guess I should add some custom module to the setup.py but I don't know
which (or am I completely off track here...).
can someone help?
thanx
