Topic: openopt with py2exe, bug??

Dr. Yuan XK, Northwestern polytechnical university, China, use OpenOpt for nonliner optimization study.

I install openopt-0.29-py2.5,  can make through with the test 'nlp1.py'. but when I convert it to EXE with py2exe(py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.5), it raises the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "I:\WORK2010\text\nlp1.py", line 75, in <module>
    isPassed, r, p = test(iprint= 10, plot=0)
  File "I:\WORK2010\text\nlp1.py", line 70, in test
    r = p.solve(solver)

openopt.kernel.oologfcn.OpenOptException: incorrect solver is called, maybe the
solver "scipy_slsqp" is not installed. Also, maybe you have forgotten to use "py
thon setup.py install" after updating OpenOpt from subversion repository

the transforming file related with py2exe is given as follows:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
import os

import glob
if len(sys.argv) == 1:
    sys.argv.append("py2exe")
    sys.argv.append("-q")

opts = {
        'py2exe': {"compressed": 1, "optimize": 2,

               }
        }

data_files = []

setup(
    # The first three parameters are not required, if at least a
    # 'version' is given, then a versioninfo resource is built from
    # them and added to the executables.
    options = opts,
    data_files=data_files,

    # targets to build
    console = ["nlp1.py"],
    )

what is going on?

Re: openopt with py2exe, bug??

I'm not an expert of py2exe. All I can suggest - try using latest openopt svn repository version, it doesn't use solverPaths.py that has to be generated after "python setup.py install", maybe it is somehow related to the issue with py2exe. Or just wait till September 15 when a new OOSuite version is expected to be released.

HTH, D.
