Hello Charlie, I tried the solution you suggested below to get py2exe working and get rid of the "no such file wxmsw26uh_vc.dll" message when trying to run the compiled .exe
1. I removed the _wxagg.pyd file from matplotlib/backends (although I was loathe to do so as my guess is that this will make plotting slower?) 2. I removed the exclusion on the wxmsw26uh_vc.dll in the setup file Now I can compile to an .exe but the application starts briefly, but stops and closes the output window before I can see anything. It doesn't write anything to the .log file. I'm running XP, Python 2.4, wxPython 2.6.3.3-py4 and MPL 87.5 Has anybody else tried this solution and got it to work? Thanks for any help you can provide. - Daniel P.S. If it's relevant, my setup.py is below... # For py2exe only """ Setup.py Create .exe for VizTool.
