py2exe problem

[Wolfgang Forstmeier]

Hey list,

what kind of error do I have with getting this error at starting my app.
Im am not using IdleConf.GetOption right now.

Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetOption -
problem retrieving configration option 'name'
from section 'Keys'.
returning default value: ''

but do you use idle or idlelib in your application?

Ah yes,

after some research in my code I found the following import

from idlelib.OutputWindow import tkMessageBox

Maybe someone could assist me with fixing that issue,
because I am really new to python and does not exactly know what to do now.

Ok, but do you really use idlelib for something? Or it's just some random
code you found somewhere and drop into your application?
Also, note that you got just a warning, not an error; chances are your
program may still work. BTW, what's your program for?

Ah yes, I really use this. I create some message boxes for a little GUI
application that controls some other program with COM.
Running my app without py2exe, just with python, there is no warning at
all. This comes in with py2exe first.

Here some piece of code that I use for tkMessageBox.

from idlelib.OutputWindow import tkMessageBox

....
# Define about message box
def about(self):
tkMessageBox.showinfo("About", "My little about text box.")
# --
....

There is some more GUI programming arround that def in my class, but
that uses only Tkinter, should not be interesting for that error.

Also, note that you got just a warning, not an error; chances are your
program may still work.

That is right, but there is an annoying message box at closing my
program that tells me the error above.

BTW, what's your program for?

Connecting a MFC COM application with an old FORTRAN program.

 

[Gabriel Genellina]

from idlelib.OutputWindow import tkMessageBox

...
# Define about message box
def about(self):
tkMessageBox.showinfo("About", "My little about text box.")
# --
...

that uses only Tkinter, should not be interesting for that error.

The above doesn't use idlelib either; tkMessageBox comes with Tkinter.
import tkMessageBox
is enough, and doesn't carry idlelib as a dependency.

If you remove all idlelib remaining references -if any- that annoying
warning should go away too (and your program should be smaller and load
faster).

So why not use tkMessageBox directly, and skip Idle's namespace wrapping?

import tkMessageBox

tkMessageBox.showinfo("About", "My little about text box.")

Hey Dave, thanks a lot, that did the job, because I really does not use
Idle in any other place.
