py2exe and UPPER CASE file system

[Werner Merkl]

Hi,


my problem is, I try to use a py2exe compiled python script from a
CD-ROM. This should work, BUT the tool I use (or have to use) generates
only upper case file names on the CD-ROM.

For py2exe 0.4.1 and python 2.2 this worked fine... but the current
releases do not.

Any ideas or help?


Thanks in advance
Werner Merkl

I would say if it worked it was a bug ;-).

Does it work in newer versions when you set the PYTHONCASEOK environment
variable?

Oops... I thought, this was by intention, because py2exe 0.4.1 has its
own module loader...

variable?

Yes, this would work, BUT if I start a Python EXE directly from CD, then
normally this variable is NOT set...

So I need to set it inside the Python EXE or run a C wrapper to set the
environment variable and than start my Python EXE.

BTW: I tried to "import os" or "import OS as os" to add
"os.environment['PYTHONCASEOK'] = '1'" inside, but this seemed not to work.

Somehow I missed the original post, but what OS are you on that have to
use a tool that generates only uppercase filenames on the CD? If you're
on Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris or most any modern OS, you should be
able to use cdrtools (cdrecord + mkisofs) which can generate
Rockridge/Joliet CD's with regular (long mixed case) filenames:

binaries for a lot of different systems here:

My problem is not a matter of operation systems. Windows can handle
upper and lower case, BUT I need to a CD mastering tool, which converts
all lower cases to upper cases.

Thanks for your advice, but I cannot change our mastering tool.
