Introduction
The following will explain how to freeze a Python/wxPython application using the py2exe tool.
What Objects are Involved
You will need a working development environment including
* Python
* wxPython
* py2exe
Process Overview
A small sample wxPython "Hello world" application will be used to demonstrate the process. I created the tiny application using Boa Constructor but you could use any other IDE you use for your wxPython development. The creation of the setup.py file I did using Gui2Exe, but again one could create this by hand.
Special Concerns
Python 2.5x
- you will need the MS C run time dll 'msvcr71.dll', included with Python
- the dll 'gdiplus.dll' might also be needed depending on what wxPython widgets you use
the appname.manifest file (needed to get the nice themed widgets on XP+) can be generated by checking the appropriate option in Gui2Exe
Python 2.6x
- you will need the MS C run time dll's (msvcr90.dll, msvcp90.dll, msvcm90.dll), included with Python (see the SxS folder under Windows)
- you will need a copy of the Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest file
- the dll 'gdiplus.dll' might also be needed depending on what wxPython widgets you use
The setup.py
Save the following code in your working folder as a file called 'setup.py'.
To "freeze" the application you run from the command line in your working folder the following command.
\python26\python setup.py py2exe
1 # ======================================================#

The MS manifest
Following is the content of the Microsoft manifest file, note that the content of "version" and "publicKeyToken" are specific to the version of the dll files. Installing Python 2.6 on Windows 7rc1 with the option "for this user only" this manifest file is created in the Python26 folder. Note the Py26 installer does not offer the "for this user only" option on Vista.
