This is why I prefer Ubuntu. Software deployment (other than .NET) on Windows is pure hell.

Hi,
I’m trying to deploy a Python2.7 / PyQt-Py2.7-4.8 with py2exe-0.6.9-py2.7
I followed the steps but it gives following error :
QtCore4.dll : No such file or directory

Hi,

I’m trying to deploy a Python2.7 / PyQt-Py2.7-4.8 with py2exe-0.6.9-py2.7

I followed the steps, it does not give the “sip” error (no complain) but spits out that “MSVCP90.dll not found”

I’m lost as to how to fix that. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,

thanks for leaving a comment. It is great to hear that this article can be of assistance.

I can’t remember what’s up with those Visual C .dll’s. What did you need to do to include those?

Thanks
Mike

Worked like a charm. Only received one error when I executed my .exe and it was because I forgot to include a data_file in the setup.py. You might want to mention about the Visual C .dll’s that py2exe doesn’t typically include. Great write up, thanks for taking the time to post it!

Thank you Emily! I never came so far as to build my application for OS X but I would like to try it out. It would be really nice to read your article if you wrote one!

I can’t thank you enough. Just when I was about to abandon the effort of converting my Python Qt script into exe, when one trouble comes after another. Found your example, and saw all my troubles explained here. I have me exe built and run successfully in few minutes following your guide. THANK YOU!

Really nice work there Mike! I never managed to get my OS X app running from a Python project. The problem was loads of external dependencies, libraries and such. Perhaps I’ll write a similar article when getting that stuff runing
