Exe created with py2exe doesn't work and returns logfile with errors

Question

It's my first post so go easy on me. My problem is similar as in here, but I couldn't make it work, though I really tried: " py2exe with enthought and pandas ".

Having installed separately both versions of python(x84-64, x32) with libraries I proceeded to making an executable of python script using py2exe. I had to download missing dll files: msvcp90.dll, libiomp5md.dll, libifcoremd.dll, libmmd.dll.
Exe files I created return errors and a logfile is generated - different for x32 and x64 python&libraries.

For 32 bit python&libraries I got the following logfiles(different depending on which numpy library I installed from: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy)

For numpy-1.8.0-win32-superpack-python2.7 I received multipled following information:

For numpy-MKL- 1.8.0.win32-py 2.7:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gui.py", line 2, in <module>
File "numpy\__init__.pyc", line 154, in <module>

ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

For numpy-MKL-1.7.2rc1.win32-py2.7 I received as above, but multiplied.

For 64 bit python&libraries I got the following, irrelatively of scipy and numpy version:

File "gui.py", line 7, in <module>
File "pyqtgraph\__init__.pyc", line 177, in <module>
File "pyqtgraph\__init__.pyc", line 167, in importAll

File "_ufuncs.pyx", line 1, in init scipy.special._ufuncs (scipy\special\_ufuncs.c:19992)
ImportError: No module named _ufuncs_cxx

I do have some ufuncs files in ..\build\bdist.win-amd64\winexe\collect-2.7\scipy\special , but I'm not sure how it works or should work.

So what do I do to make any of these .exe work? Preferably, the one that goes with 64-bit python, because opening the program by running the code in SciTe with 32-bit python took ages and there was a memory overload.

EDIT:

After removing import numpy, pyqtgraph, scipy from setup.py I get the following logfile with errors:

File "gui.py", line 7, in <module>
File "pyqtgraph\__init__.pyc", line 177, in <module>

I'm not sure what it is exactly. All I know it's a part of scipy library. – Hylozoism

FWIW, I've always had far more luck with cx_freeze than py2exe. – Subtangent

_funcs_cxx is part of the c-extensions that numpy/scipy uses to generalize operation application/broadcasting (stands for universal function I think). The fftpack include fortran extensions. – Eliciaelicit

Answer 1

from distutils.core import setup

import py2exe

setup(console=['hello.py'])

edit : do not include any other libraries/modules here

NEXT at the cmd:

python hello.py py2exe

Nomo

Yes, this is almost exactly what I do, but it still doesn't work. from distutils.core import setup import py2exe import numpy, pyqtgraph, scipy setup(windows=['gui.py']) – Hylozoism

This program is quite important, because it's for my internship. Please help solve the problem. – Hylozoism

I dont think you should import anything else at the script – Nomo

Just change the file name and not anything else – Nomo

Ok, I did that. Now it returns what I've just added at the end of my question. – Hylozoism

Is py2exe win32 or win64? – Nomo

It x64. Actually it's py2exe-0.6.9.winx64-py2.7.amdx64 – Hylozoism

Try reinstalling etc. or the library is corrupted or wrong format. – Nomo

And the library i meant is the _ufuncs_cxx etc. – Nomo

Answer 2

I'm having more success with PyInstaller than Py2exe. In PyInstaller, the problem is solved by explicitly adding a reference:

pyinstaller myscript.py --hidden-import=scipy.special._ufuncs_cxx

PyInstaller also takes care of the matplotlib imbroglio, and Visual Studio DLLs.

Answer 3

I got the same error message during creating .exe file using py2exe

File "_ufuncs.pyx", line 1, in init scipy.special._ufuncs (scipy\special\_ufuncs.c:22830)

It was resolved by adding scipy.special._ufuncs_cxx to the includes option in setup.py. Here is what I have.

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import numpy

setup(
    console=['hello.py'],
    options={
        'py2exe': {
            r'includes': [r'scipy.sparse.csgraph._validation',
                          r'scipy.special._ufuncs_cxx']
        }
    }
)

Please note that it includes some other settings to prevent numpy/scipy related errors.

• import numpy
• includes scipy.sparse.csgraph._validation based on this answer
