I created a game using pygame (python2.7) and tried to convert it using py2exe.
These are the modules I used:
pygame,Tkinter,random
here's my "setup.py":
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(options={
"py2exe":{
"includes": ["Tkinter","pygame","random"]
}
}
)
when I try to run the .exe file I get this Error:
NotImplementedError: font module not avaible
(ImportError: DLL load failed: module couldn't be found
What do I have to change?
There's two things to check here. First, ensure that you are using 32-bit python and 32-bit pygame. Pygame only plays nice with 32-bit python, and you're opening a can of worms if you ignore that. The other thing to check is to make sure that all the modules are spelt the way that they are spelt on your system when you load in the dlls. (A common suspect is that Tkinter has an upper case module name and this might throw something off)

(I have already resolved this issue but it cost me two weeks of my time and my employer a couple of grand, so I'm sharing it here to save some poor soul.)
My company is converting our application from 32-bit to 64-bit. We create an executable using py2exe, using the bundle=2 option. The executable started crashing as soon as it tried to render a matplotlib plot.
Versions:
python==2.7.13,
matplotlib==2.0.0,
numpy==1.13.1,
py2exe==0.6.10a1
I tracked the error to the numpy library. Numpy calls numpy.linalg._umath_linalg.inv() and the program abruptly exits with no error message, warning, or traceback.
_umath_linalg is a .pyd file and I discovered that this particular .pyd file doesn't like being called from library.zip, which is where py2exe puts it when using bundle option 2 or 1.
The solution is to exclude numpy in the py2exe setup script and copy the entire package folder into the distribution directory and add that directory to the system path at the top of the main python script.
I have written codes but it's showing cannot import pygame module
Download pygame from here: http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml
If you are not sure which version of python you are running, execute the following code in your shell:
import sysconfig
version = sysconfig.get_python_version()
print(version) #Python3
print version #Python2
Usually, Python3 will also accept the print command without brackets, so using sysconfig is the safest way. Sysconfig will also tell you which minor version you are using (such as 3.4.5)
Once you have download pygame, tryimport pygame in your shell. If this does not work, type help('modules'). This will now list all your modules. If pygame is not in there, check in which folder all other modules are saved and move the pygame module to that file path.
You can also use sysconfig to display all the file paths python is using:
import sysconfig
paths = sysconfig.get_paths()
print(paths) #For Python2, see print method above
I don't quite understand what you mean with "And make games", but the pygame website has a great documentary and some example codes to help you learn progamming with the pygame module.
Hope I could help,

I would like to have a script invoke numpy from a c++ embedded python runtime by setting the runtime path to know about the numpy module located within site-packages.
However I get the error:
cannot import name 'multiarray'
from \Lib\site-packages\numpy\core__init_.py on the line
from . import multiarrray
I have tried to set the os.path to be xxx\numpy\core but it still cannot seem to find the multiarray.pyd file during the import statement
I have read through similar questions posed but none of the answers seem relevant to my case.
I am using Python 3.4.4 (32 bit) and have installed Numpy 1.11.1 using the wheel
numpy-1.11.1-cp34-none-win32.whl
python -m pip install numpy-1.11.1-cp34-none-win32.whl
Completed without any errors.
Seems like the failure message maybe more general than just an incomplete PYTHONPATH?
Also think it might be broader than Numpy in that ANY .pyd based package that is imported from the embedded environment will have this problem?
Any help appreciated.
Did you ensure all your NumPy includes: \numpy\core\include\numpy\ were present during the build? That's the only time I get those types of errors was if the build couldn't find all the NumPy includes... although during embedding I found that the numpy entire directory (already built on your build machine) has to be inside a directory under Py_SetPath(python35.lib;importlibs); assuming importlibs is a directory with NumPy inside and anything else you want to bundle.
Seems like the answer was to install python 3.4.1 to match the python34.dll version of 3.4.1.
I have written the below mentioned basic script using Python Spynner.
It works fine when running through IDLE.
However, when I try to convert it into exe using Pyinstaller and run the exe, It gives me the following error.
ImportError: No module named cookielib
I have searched a lot for solution but couldn't find any. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Python2.7 (windows 7 32 bit)
Here is the code,
import spynner
b=spynner.Browser()
b.hide()
b.load('http://www.google.com')
b.snapshot().save('file.png')
b.close()
I'm working on converting a simple GUI script written with Python 2.7 and Pyqt4 into a standalone executable using py2exe. I keep getting "no such file exists" errors, and I've managed to fix a few, though this one seems stubborn. It can't find msvcp90.dll, and returns an error message with a short traceback to distutils and then back to my py2exe script, which isn't very enlightening.
I've installed the MS C++ redistributable runtime, as recommended in
py2exe fails to generate an executable
but my script still can't locate the .dll. Below is my py2exe script, with the name of my script blocked out:
from distutils.core import setup
from py2exe.build_exe import py2exe
import sys, os, zmq
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
os.environ["PATH"] = \
os.environ["PATH"] + \
os.path.pathsep + os.path.split(zmq.__file__)[0]
setup(
options = {'py2exe':{'bundle_files':1,"includes":["zmq.utils",
"zmq.utils.jsonapi","zmq.utils.strtypes"]}},
console = [{'script':"#######.py"}],
zipfile = None
)
I've already fixed an issue with zmq (which isn't ever used by my script, or my GUI, for that matter, as far as I know). What am I doing wrong?
Right, I've managed to get my app to build, and although the question is now moderately old, it's my hope this is eventually of use to someone.
Firstly, py2exe is probably the wrong tool. It's old and AFAICT unmaintained. Consider PyInstaller instead. Using PyInstaller is literally as simple as installing it, installing PyWin32, and then going python %path_to_pyinstaller%/pyinstaller.py --onefile --windowed source.py. PyInstaller deals with all the mess of side by side assemblies and so on without you having to do anything.
In short, use PyInstaller.
However, to answer your question, this worked for me:
The question you've linked to - in particular this answer is the right start. Find the right DLLs and copy them to C:\Python27\DLLs
Ditch your existing setup.py file. If you're not using zmq, there's no reason to import it. Also, for a windowed application you want windows= not console=. My file goes (for packaging show.py):
#!/usr/bin/python
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(options={'py2exe':{'bundle_files':1}},
windows=['show.py'])
