YES!  Thats a wonderful idea (the single shared install)!  Thanks for the
idea!  I think it will work for us!

 I'm trying to wrap rbt post functionality into an exe file and both
 py2exe and pyinstaller built exes are having issues when pkg_resources
 tries to resolve the rbtools package.

 The exe builds fine, but when I run it, I get a
 "pkg_resources.distributionnotfound: the 'rbtools' distribution was
 not found and is required by the application" error.

 I've tried listing rbtools as hidden imports and importing an egg
 (although the egg import was never successful), to no avail.

 Thanks in advance!

Re: Building RBTools 0.7.6 into a single-file exe for Windows

2016-09-23 Thread Daniel Kuecker 
Hey Christian,

Our clients would rather not install an app on their development machines.
We have been using an older version of RBTools, that we made a custom
post-review for, and built an exe.  The exe is dropped on the client
machine (among many other things) as a tool via a scripted setup script we
run and is called from other build-related scripts.

I only really need post and patch functionality and we hard-code the RB url.

Thanks for the response!!!

Re: Building RBTools 0.7.6 into a single-file exe for Windows

2016-09-23 Thread Christian Hammond 
Sorry, I don't have any pointers here. Tools like py2exe drastically
changes the way Python projects execute, which can end up causing a large
number of tricky to diagnose issues. Having done a lot of
py2exe/pyinstaller work in the past, it's not a route I'd want to go again.

While I'd accept reasonable patches for things RBTools is doing, it's
important to note that some things simply will not work, and those are
things we must ship with. Examples would be any commands that reference a
shipped data file, or otherwise need to deal with something relative to a
module path.

I understand the desire to have a single .exe you can drop on development
machines, but am not sold on this being the way to go. What a lot of
companies do is have a single shared install of RBTools in some common
directory on a file server, and have that directory added to the path. Some
use a wrapper script to set the PYTHON_PATH and such for that. This gives
you central management of RBTools, usage of the RBTools API, and wouldn't
require the kinds of work that would be needed to get things in shape for
tools like py2exe to work.

Re: Building RBTools 0.7.6 into a single-file exe for Windows

2016-09-22 Thread Christian Hammond 
Out of curiosity, why not use the RBTools installer we already provide?

The single .exe route will have limitations. I've done a lot of
py2exe/pyinstaller work in the past for other projects, and it's not a
route I'd recommend if you can avoid it, at least for more complex projects.
