I might be reading into what you are saying, but I wasn't asking pyinstaller to guess anything, certainly. What I was proposing was something like having a special directory underneath the executable, where these 'questionable' or 'low priority' libraries could be found. The exact libraries that go there would be determined by the developer, not pyinstaller....the developer just needs to tell pyinstaller what the low-priority directory name is (or just have it hardcoded to something).
Then, as the application loads, resolve libraries first in same dir as the executable (which is currently done), next in the system libs, and finally in the low-priority directory. Wiki entries can direct the developer on likely candidates for the low-priority directory, but in the end, the choice is up to them. Hope that makes sense ;) On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 7:01 PM, Giovanni Bajo <[email protected]> wrote: > On gio, 2010-12-02 at 13:27 -0500, Daniel Hyams wrote: > > > I'm just saying that what I did worked, which lead to the question > > that I posted.
