I'm trying to use py2exe to build an executable on 64-bit Windows 7 with Anaconda (Python 3.4) for a project of mine that depends on a lot of libraries. Some of the more complex ones include vispy (pyopengl), PyQt4, numba, and scipy. I've been stepping through various errors to try to get a working executable, but have hit a road block with no clear way forward. Currently, the py2exe command completes, but I get the following error when running the exe:
...
from numba import jit
File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\sift_py2exe\lib\site-packages\numba\__init__.py", line
13, in <module>
from .pycc.decorators import export, exportmany
File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\sift_py2exe\lib\site-packages\numba\pycc\__init__.py",
line 12, in <module>
from .cc import CC
File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\sift_py2exe\lib\site-packages\numba\pycc\cc.py", line
4, in <module>
from distutils.command import build_ext
File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\sift_py2exe\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line
17, in <module>
from site import USER_BASE
ImportError: No module named 'site'
I was able to do a small workaround by adding the C:\Anaconda3\envs\sift_py2exe\Lib directory to sys.path in my main script, but I doubt that's going to help me much later. Not to mention I had more scipy DLL issues after that.
Here are the relevant parts of my setup.py:
try:
import py2exe
from llvmlite.binding.ffi import _lib_dir, _lib_name
kwargs["data_files"] = [('.', [os.path.join(_lib_dir, _lib_name), os.path.join(_lib_dir, "MSVCP120.dll"), os.path.join(_lib_dir, "MSVCR120.dll")])]
kwargs["console"] = [{
'script': 'cspov/__main__.py',
'dest_base': "SIFT",
}]
kwargs["options"] = {'py2exe': {"includes": ["vispy.app.backends._pyqt4", "PyQt4.QtNetwork"]}}
except ImportError:
print("'py2exe' and/or 'llvmlite' not available")
I've tried adding the "Lib" directory in setup.py and then including "site", but it doesn't find the module. Any ideas? Thanks.
Side note: I'm using the Microsoft DLLs from llvmlite as a quick workaround because I couldn't get it to work in any of the normal ways.
