Hello, I'm trying to bundle up a Django built website. Using SQLite and Django's built-in WSGI webserver, my thinking was that this would be 100% Python and would be straight forward to use py2app or py2exe on it.
I'm not familiar enough with py2app to know whether the error I'm getting is related to py2app or related to Django. So I thought I'd post what I've done so far here for the list's guidance... I've followed the guide located here: http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html My directory is basically a straight download of Django-0.95 with the addition of 2 files. "run.py" which is my wrapper script to add Django to the Python path and kickstart the Django webserver. "py2app-setup.py" is named this way because Django already has a setup.py. This may change once I figure out the details but for now this is what I've done. ======= run.py: ======= #!/usr/bin/env python import sys, os sys.path.append(os.getcwd()) from Quotes.manage import * # We can also pass in host:port info to start server on. # Possibly add checks to see if port is open already and increment to next one # for the case of >1 app running simultaneously. execute_manager(settings, ['','runserver']) # NOTE: execute_manager takes over script control. If we want to fire up a # browser window we need to do that in another thread. # Now that server is running, open web browser? #import webbrowser #webbrowser.open_new('http://localhost:8000') ================ py2app-setup.py: ================ #!/usr/bin/env python from setuptools import setup setup( app=["run.py"], setup_requires=["py2app"], ) Also, "Quotes" is my dummy Django project and is a subdirectory under the Django-0.95 distribution. I run this command and include a few Django modules: python py2app-setup.py py2app -- includes=django.contrib.auth,django.contrib.sessions,django.contrib.site s When I run the resulting "run.app" from the command line, this is the error I get: # ./dist/run.app/Contents/MacOS/run Validating models... Unhandled exception in thread started by <function inner_run at 0x279ab0> Traceback (most recent call last): File "django/core/management.pyc", line 1039, in inner_run File "django/core/management.pyc", line 1003, in validate File "django/core/management.pyc", line 815, in get_validation_errors File "django/db/__init__.pyc", line 18, in ? OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/Users/rhudson/Desktop/ Django-0.95/dist/run.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.3/site- packages.zip/django/db/backends' As an aside, you may be asking why do I want to make a website an application. I work for a company that builds health based education websites. Since some projects are funded by grant money, the phase one project needs to be reviewed to determine if the project is worthy of phase two money. The reviewers need to remain anonymous and we need to assume the reviewers do not have an internet connection. Therefore, we have to take our product (a website) and bundle it on a CD. This has led to many problems. We currently have a working solution for PHP based websites. Now, we are investigating Django as a new platform and I'm doing the initial testing on whether we can ship a Django website.
