library.zip and 7zip

[Jaco Smuts]

hello again

that is exactly it. it does nothing (frustrating)

after running setup.py py2exe i go to  the dist directory where my 
executables etc.. reside
i then run

upx.exe --best *.* 

upx succesfully compacts the dll, exe and pyd files. 
I then test it by running myApp.exe and it works fine

I then try the 7zip bit

7z.exe -aoa x library.zip -olibrary\ 
del library.zip 
 
cd library\ 
7z.exe a -tzip -mx9 ..\library.zip -r 
cd.. 
rd library /s /q 

It does compress the library.zip file a lot more but I then run myApp.exe 
again and whalla....... nothing. 
No tracebacks, not error messages, just nothing
I've tried this skipping the upx bit, but got the same result.

I'm using Python  2.3.4, don't know if  that might have anything to do 
with it?

cheers
jaco

Describing a failure in such a vague manner as 'seems to break' is
not likely to help us help you.

Can you be more specific?  Exception traceback?  Error messages?
Anything?
