Hi!

Sorry I mixed up things. It's should be windows (as in your setup.py) and not console to get no black screen!

Sorry again, I think I need holidays ;-)

  Hi Stefanie,

  It is a normal, minimal setup.py for windows and single file executables:

  # exWx/setup.py
  from distutils.core import setup
  import py2exe

  setup(
      windows=[
              {'script': "blast_main_205.pyw",
               'icon_resources':[(0,'blast.ico')]
              }
              ],
              
      options={
              'py2exe': {
                          #'packages' :    [],
                          #'includes':     [],
                          'excludes':     [
                                           'Tkconstants','Tkinter', 'tcl'
                                          ],
                          'ignores':       ['wxmsw26uh_vc.dll'],
                          'dll_excludes': ['libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll',
                                           'libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll',
                                           'libgobject-2.0-0.dll'
                                          ],
                          'compressed': 1,
                          'optimize':2,
                          'bundle_files': 1
                          }
              },
      zipfile = None,
      data_files= [
                  ]
      )


  I think I understand the logic of your question. I will try with 'console' and let you know what happens. Here at work I have 1.48 installed and 1.50 at home.

  Currently, with biopython 1.50, I can produce py2exe single file executables of GUI programs based on wxpython that work perfectly after:

  a) I set console=True in the subprocess call in _invoke_blast (NCBIStandalone.py). Otherwise I have the Blast.exe console popping when I make a search.

  b) I modify a line in the addRule function in spark.py: rules = doc.split() ---to-->  rules = doc.split() if doc else []. Otherwise the executable is produced but gives an exception when ran saying that can not split 'None'.

  Best regards

  Joaquin
