Dll Load Failure With Py2exe (python And Qt)

Guy i respect you.You already coding in Qt.Would love to learn that.Join thier forum and ask for help.Qt is the future

Had TheSame problem

Dhtml guy why the absence from nairaland don't you know pple dey look up to ya.How you doing.

I have been around, just had to reduce my posts 'cos i had loads of work to do. My desk is partially cleared for now.

I found it,
the problem is from py2exe adding 2 extra dlls from my Vista, the target machines are 2000/xp/vista
so things works fine on vista while 2000/xp complains of not seeing psycopg2\_psycopg.pyc even though it's there

here is the error,

>> Traceback (most recent call last):
>>   File "npmcn.py", line 2, in <module>
>>   File "psycopg2\__init__.pyc", line 60, in <module>
>>   File "psycopg2\_psycopg.pyc", line 12, in <module>
>>   File "psycopg2\_psycopg.pyc", line 10, in __load
>> ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.


i just figured Vista keeps shipping something with my app thats not needed or not compatible with other windows version
excluding 2 dlls from the zip did the trick

so 2000/xp kept using the vista version instead of using the native one located in the windows' system32 folder
the too naughty dlls are Secur32.dll and SHFOLDER.dll

i also figured out that py2exe has a way you can exclude dlls
 "dll_excludes": ["whatever.dll"]
you will need to add it to the options' argument like below




excludes = ["Secur32.dll", "SHFOLDER.dll"]
setup(
    options = {"py2exe": {"includes":["sip","PyQt4._qt"],
         "compressed": 1,
                          "optimize": 2,
                          "ascii": 1,
                          "bundle_files": 1,
                          "dll_excludes": excludes
                          }},
    zipfile = None,
    windows = [test_wx],
    )

this gave me headache for almost a month, how i wish someone has experienced and posted something like this.
