Question: My py2exe application needs to be able to execute extra copies
of
python.exe. I have placed python.exe in the same directory. It obviously
picks up the main python24.dll but how can I configure things so that it
would use the same library.zip for all the library files? This would
save
me having two sets of files.

(The py2exe application happens to be a twisted server app running as a
service which has the ability to launch python scripts as a logged on
user)

Thanks, Martin.


You have to put library.zip on sys.path. Maybe you could create a site.py
file
in that directory which can do this, I assume the python.exe will try to
load that.

There may be other possibilities as well.

Many thanks for the tip, it got me thinking. When python.exe is loaded,
sys.path already had python24.zip in it so changing the specified library in
py2exe from the default libary.zip to python24.zip solved it!
