[Py2exe-users] Re: [pygtk] py2exe...

[John Pye]

I have seen that technique with the Inkscape project: copy a whole bunch
of DLLs off the c:\GTK\bin directory into the bundled fileset. But I
don't see it being used (manually) in the BitTorrent sources.

I think that py2exe is managing find and copy the required DLLs
(automatically). After my py2exe runs, I have the following in my dist
directory:

john at JOHN /g/pygtkexample/dist
$ ls
_cairo.pyd  gobject.pyd         intl.dll            
libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll   libgobject-2.0-0.dll    
libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll  pango.pyd        xmlparse.dll
_gtk.pyd    helloworld.exe      libatk-1.0-0.dll    
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll  libgthread-2.0-0.dll    
libpng13.dll             pangocairo.pyd   xmltok.dll
atk.pyd     helloworld.exe.log  libcairo-2.dll      
libglade-2.0-0.dll       libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll  
library.zip              python24.dll     zlib.pyd
bz2.pyd     helloworld.glade    libfontconfig-1.dll 
libglib-2.0-0.dll        libpango-1.0-0.dll      
libxml2.dll              unicodedata.pyd  zlib1.dll
glade.pyd   iconv.dll           libfreetype-6.dll   
libgmodule-2.0-0.dll     libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll 
msvcr71.dll              w9xpopen.exe

I think the error message suggests there is something else than simply
missing files here though, don't you think?

The example which I attached really is minimal... I'm puzzled...

Cheers
