PyGTK + py2exe for Windows

Published on Nov. 2, 2008

I'm writing down these quick notes so I can remember the steps for getting py2exe to work with GTK.

• Download the GTK+ runtime
• Download py2exe
• Copy over your project into the windows box
• Create a setup.py file (see below)
• Run "c:\Python25\python.exe setup.py py2exe"
• Copy over the lib, etc, and share folder from C:\Program Files\GTK2-Runtime into the dist folder
• Run app!

setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
    name = 'ploteq',
    description = 'Bunnys Plotting Tool',
    version = '1.0',

    windows = [
                  {
                      'script': 'ploteq.py',
                  }
              ],

    options = {
                  'py2exe': {
                      'packages':'encodings',
                      'includes': 'cairo, pango, pangocairo, atk, gobject', 
                  }
              },

    data_files=[
                   'ploteq.glade',
               ]
)
