Hello,
I build a exe program with py2exe, and it size is about 8M.
The program is very simple, it's a widget that contain too lineedit and a
button, it's based on pyqt.
Please is there a way to resize the file for small one.
My experience has been that if it is a gui-based PyQt program, you need to
package the python runtime (python2x.dll), the python PyQt libraries
(Qt.pyd, QtCore.pyd, QtGui.pyd) and the Qt dll's (QtCore4.dll, QtGui4.dll).
You may also need to distribute the C-runtime library (mingwm10.dll or
msvcrXX.dll) depending on how your application was setup. All of these
need to be included because you can't assume the end user will have them on
their system.
Yes, that is.
However, the only way i found and it was a suggestion from the py2exe
mailing list,
is the use of options = { py2exe: {compressed: 2}} in my setup.py.
That does not include the dll, PyQt libraries and python runtime in the
executable file, giving a chance to install there libraries separately.
Even with your small widget developed in C++ you still need to distribute
the Qt dll's since these are not standard windows libraries.
My conclusion: it's not possible to make your apps have super small
download size with Qt and PyQt.
If anyone has other experiences with this please share them.
Thanks Darry for you reply.
