Help on Py2exe with matplotlib

[Chriskim]

Hi I am having a very difficult time makine executable file using Py2exe. This program uses "matplotlib" to generate graphs and I think this is causing the errors

What extra codes are necessary to make this work??


Here is what error said...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "real_test.py", line 7, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 82, in load_module
File "matplotlib\__init__.pyc", line 709, in <module>

I attempted to create an executable file with Py2exe and failed also. However, I was able to with PyInstaller. There was a small bug in PyInstaller with respect to the Python version on my machine, but the problem was solved after I posted to the PyInstaller email discussion group. Give it a shot.

After installing PyInstaller, I created a subdirectory for my Python source code and a batch file to execute the commands. The batch file contents is something like this:

set PIP=C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\pyinstaller-1.4\
 
c:\Python\python %PIP%Makespec.py --onefile --noconsole --upx --ascii --tk --icon logo.ico source.py
 
c:\Python\python %PIP%Build.py source.spec

The executable file is created and placed in a subdirectory named "build". Check out the on-line documentation for more detailed information.
