Esky not building package with dependencies on windows.

F483 commented 9 years ago

I'm trying to get the simplest example from the tutorial to work. https://github.com/cloudmatrix/esky/tree/master/tutorial/stage1

My environment:

Z:\share_space\esky-master\tutorial\stage1>python --version
Python 3.4.3

Z:\share_space\esky-master\tutorial\stage1>pip freeze
...
cx-Freeze==4.3.4
esky==0.9.8
py2exe==0.9.2.2
...

When run using py2exe as the freezer, it fails to find the py2exe module for some reason (though freezing other apps with "python setup.py py2exe" works just fine).

Z:\share_space\esky-master\tutorial\stage1>python setup.py bdist_esky
running bdist_esky
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 17, in <module>
    "freezer_module":"py2exe",
  File "C:\Python34\lib\distutils\core.py", line 148, in setup
    dist.run_commands()
  File "C:\Python34\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 955, in run_commands
    self.run_command(cmd)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 973, in run_command
    cmd_obj.ensure_finalized()
  File "C:\Python34\lib\distutils\cmd.py", line 107, in ensure_finalized
    self.finalize_options()
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\esky\bdist_esky\__init__.py", line 291, in
 finalize_options
    raise RuntimeError(err)
RuntimeError: freezer module not found: 'py2exe'

With cx-Freeze building the package works well but running the executable fails.

Z:\share_space\esky-master\tutorial\stage1>dist\example-app-0.1.win32\example.ex

I do indeed have RandomIO installed as you can see in the output of pip freeze above.

If it is working for you I would like to know the exact setup you have, so I can replicate it. Could you please post your output for python --version, pip --freeze and what version of windows you are using.

i deleted the repo after it ran but i'm guessing even though pypi projects are case insensitive it's somehow playing a roll here, pip freeze gives me

RandomIO==0.2.1

try installing the package as RandomIO

im using python3.4.3 windows 7 pip 7

I just setup a Windows 7 VM and tried building it there. I was successful, but only after I uninstallded randomio (was automatically installed dependency via python setup.py develop) and installed it manually with pip install RandomIO. Why the dependency is listed in a different case or why it should even matter I do not know. I also used cx-Freeze so I'm not sure about the status of py2exe, maybe I will try it and report back.

I suggest the following:

First update the documentation, so it mentions all installed packages must be listed in the correct case (reinstall manually to fix it) and to use the latest esky from github instead of pypi when trying to build on windows.
Open another issue for esky and get the have the case bug fixed so that case of the package name does not matter.

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately this project is no longer actively maintained, so I'm going to move it into archive mode:
