Hi Bruno, i think there are two ways to solve this:
- find out how to make py.std work with cx_freeze (haven't looked at that myself yet) - eliminate use of py.std in pytest and maybe py. Personally, I am fine with a PR on that, probably quite straightforward to do. best, Holger On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 19:52 -0300, Bruno Oliveira wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm having trouble getting "pytest.main()" to run inside a frozen script > created by cx_freeze (12-line source code here: > https://gist.github.com/nicoddemus/5458ca3fc5241cedaff3); when I run the > generated executable (I'm on windows), I get this exception: > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File > "X:\pytest_cx_freeze\.env27\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console.py", > line 27, in <module> > exec(code, m.__dict__) > File "runtests.py", line 1, in <module> > import pytest, sys > File "X:\pytest_cx_freeze\.env27\lib\site-packages\pytest.py", line 14, > in <module> > from _pytest.config import main, UsageError, _preloadplugins, cmdline > File "X:\pytest_cx_freeze\.env27\lib\site-packages\_pytest\config.py", > line 398, in <module> > class MyOptionParser(py.std.argparse.ArgumentParser): > File "X:\pytest_cx_freeze\.env27\lib\site-packages\py\_apipkg.py", line > 124, in __makeattr > result = importobj(modpath, attrname) > File "X:\pytest_cx_freeze\.env27\lib\site-packages\py\_apipkg.py", line > 47, in importobj > module = __import__(modpath, None, None, ['__doc__']) > ImportError: No module named _std > > > > I have tried to explicitly import "py._std" on my script, but it also fails: > > > File "X:\pytest_cx_freeze\.env27\lib\site-packages\_pytest\config.py", > line 398, in <module> > class MyOptionParser(py.std.argparse.ArgumentParser): > File "X:\pytest_cx_freeze\.env27\lib\site-packages\py\_std.py", line 15, > in __getattr__ > raise AttributeError("py.std: could not import %s" % name) > AttributeError: py.std: could not import argparse > > > Looks like py's lazy import machinery can't be tracked by cx_freeze. > > A google search didn't reveal anything useful so for far, unfortunately. > Any thoughts? > > Long story for those interested: we package our desktop applications as > executables for both windows and linux using cx_freeze.
