Marcio, >>What is the status of this issue now? Anyone found a solution?
Yes, using py2exe for packaging a django application sure is possible. Based on my py2exe+django experience with frePPLe [1]: 1) py2exe is an excellent way to package a django application in a simple and straightforward way: With no database, no web server and no python to install, it is very simple for a user to install and testdrive the software. 2) For production use, I would not recommend deploying such a django py2exe application. Django is designed to be a web application framework, not a desktop application framework. For desktop applications in python, use a gui toolkit instead: http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming >>I tried a very simple py2app setup but stoped at the question of >>calling "python manage.py runserver" from my starting script. >>execfile() doesn't allow arguments ("runserver"). Any suggestion? Django's development server is single threaded, and not a good choice for your app. Have a look at cherrypy or DjangoCerise. And here's the 'runserver' script I use for the frePPLe py2exe application: http://frepple.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/frepple/trunk/contrib/installer/runserver.py?revision=511&view=markup Regards, Johan [1] www.frepple.com On Oct 19, 3:43 pm, ArqEco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello friends, > > "The Story That Won't Go Away" comes back! > > I am a newcomer to Django and just read some posts from one year ago > about creating standalone programs with Django and py2app or py2exe. > > What is the status of this issue now?
