Title: Compiling the QubeGUI
Post by: Scot Brew on April 25, 2007, 04:51:16 AM

For those making script adjustments to the QubeGUI, you might also be interested in compiling the modified version into an executable. 

• On Windows this can be done with py2exe. (http://www.py2exe.org/)
• On OSX, py2app is used. (http://undefined.org/python/py2app.html)

The attached setup.py is the same one used at PipelineFX and will be included in future releases of Qube.

Title: Re: Compiling the QubeGUI -- addressing a "zipImport" issue with py2exe
Post by: Scot Brew on April 25, 2007, 08:17:50 PM

Issue: A customer came across a "zipImport" issue when running their custom qube.exe:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "qube.py", line 10, in ?
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available

This is a known issue with py2exe and is a result of mismatched cases in paths or filenames.

Solution: Comment out the "compressed": 1 from setup.py (around line 194).  This will fix the zipImport issue though will increase the .exe filesize.
