Py2exe ImportError: there is no module named <package i immedmented>

Question

I implemented myUtils package names, it consists of a folder "myUtils", a file " init .py" and several * .py files with the names! = 'MyUtils'. This package is included in myOtherProject.py and can be found / used when I run them from Eclipse.

However, when I run py2exe on myOtherProject.py, as a result, exe cannot find this module (error message "ImportError: no module named myUtils"). Trimmed versions of my setup.exe:

from distutils.core import setup import py2exe, sys sys.path.append(pathTo_myUtils) import myUtils # this line works fine even if I comment out sys.path.append(...) data_files_ = (('.', ["C:\\Python27\\DLLs\\MSVCP90.dll", "C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin\\mfc90.dll"])) setup(windows=['myOtherProject.py'], options={'py2exe': {'excludes': ['tcl'], 'includes': ['myUtils'], 'dll_excludes': ['tk85.dll', 'tcl85.dll'] }}, data_files=data_files_) 

How can i fix this? I am using Python 2.7 on WinXP.

Answer 1

I did not correctly define PYTHONPATH; there were spaces after the comma. Instead

 c:\aa\; c:\bb\; c:\cc\ 

he needs to be

 c:\aa;c:\bb;c:\cc 

For packages that are defined using init .py (the MyPackage package corresponds to the MyPackage folder containing init .py and some other files without MyPackage.py), the path I needed to add to PYTHONPATH was not

 <path_to_MyPackage>\MyPackage 

but just

 <path_to_MyPackage> 

...

Answer 2

put the line sys.path.append() BEFORE the import statement. Better yet, change your PYTHONPATH (I'm not sure how to do this on Windows, but I'm sure Google can tell you how)
