[SciPy-user] scipy + py2exe problem

[Géza Groma]

I built an application called Coherent using SciPy-0.2.0_alpha_144.4373.win32-py2.2.exe on Win NT4.0sp6a. It runs without error if started directly from python. However, when it was packed to Coherent.exe by py2exe I got the following error on execution:

D:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Coherent\dist\Coherent>Coherent

ImportError: No module named cephes


Rebuilding with the '--includes scipy.special.cephes' flag cured the above problem but resulted in:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'D:\\Python22\\Lib\\site-packages\

Note the illegal < character in the path. It seems that py2exe puts module names in <> and getting the  __file__ attribute in "weave\common_info.pyc", line 127 kept the leading <.

BTW, I had no intention to use weave at all, it was just invoked by the cascade of imports.
