I coded a Shoes app that works flawlessly when opening the .rb file through Shoes or packaging it into a .shy file, but when I package it into a Windows executable whether using my cached Win32 binaries or redownloading them the .exe just brings up this window:
Any way to fix this or to compile it differently as an executable?
Running Ruby 1.9.3 and Shoes 3.2 on Windows 7
The thing is that .shy executable only packages a script, not the whole directory, you can bypass such problem by creating environment variables in which you can save your directory path and access it from .shy to run your app properly. I'm not sure will this help you as it took so long for anybody to answer. If you don't know how to set up environment variables let me know so I'll post my solution.

I'm trying to launch Blender directly from PyCharm Terminal on Windows. I first use cd 'C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.1\' to get into the directory containing the executable I need, and this works okay. Then I call blender.exe and expect it to launch Blender executable from the directory I am currently in. But for some reason it launches the older (2.93) version from another folder. The same steps work just right when I do all the same in the Windows cmd.exe. I've thought that the problem could be with the Python interpreter, but I use Python interpreter that goes with Blender 3.1 in the PyCharm project settings. What am I doing wrong and how can I run the exact executable I need?
P.S. I know that I can write a simple script in Python, use subprocess module, and get almost the same result, but anyway I'd like to use the launch from the Terminal if it is possible.
I have created a python application and can install it perfectly fine on Windows. I run pyinstaller to generate the executable, and then use NSIS to create an actual installer. I run the installer and it installs the application to my Program Files folder and gives me a nice desktop shortcut, etc.
What is the process to do the same for Mac? Essentially, I want to give my user a single file. When they run the file, it installs my program and any necessary libraries, and let's them launch it with a single click. I believe on Mac this is done with a .dmg or a .pkg file. What software/tools do I need to generate such a file? Do I need to restructure the project in anyway to create this?
For more info, pyinstaller creates a folder 'dist' which contains the unix executable of the application, and copies of python and any required libraries.
Note that I do not want to use the onefile option for pyinstaller because it would take a while to unpack everything each time the program is ran.
I would require some guidance in regards to installing a module/package in pycharm (free edition). I have to mention that i have not worked with this IDE yet and wanted to try it out on a little project containing smartcards.
When i try to install "pyscard" i get the error that boils down to
error: command 'swig.exe' failed: No such file or directory
People say just install SWIG, which i guessed already ^^.
The issue i have is that i actually have no idea how to... and none of the pages i found has really enlightended me on this issue.
I downloaded the zip "swigwin-3.0.12" but i am at a loss what to do with it now. EDIT: According to the SWIG page this is an already compiled version and i have to somehow make pycharm recognize that the folder it is in contains the swig.exe it requires.
EDIT2: Adding the folder containing the swig.exe to the PATH variable also did not work ... which i thought would be the issue
EDIT3+Answer:
Ok the link in the comments from "wp78de" was correct my problem was that pycharm/pc restart were needed for it to catch the added PATH variable to the swig.exe (for pycharm that is)
Any advice is appriciated.
Envoirment:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Pycharm 2017.2.4
Python 3.6
Basically, you just have to add the directory that contains the swig executable the PATH environment variable. You can do it via CMD or the Windows UI.
If you have added swig to your path, you should be able to call it in the command prompt from any directory: open "cmd", and type swig --help" on that prompt.
A restart of PyCharm (or whatever your IDE is) and Windows might be required.
Hi I made a script to access a website using watir, then I used OCRA to create the exe file, but when I run the exe file in an other computer without ruby intalled, it doesnt find the chromedriver.exe.
I not allowed to install ruby on that computer, but I create the same path and copy the chromedriver like it was on my computer but not luck (if I change the location of the chromedriver on my computer it doesnt work too).
Thanks for any help
create the same path and copy the chromedriver like it was on my computer
Did you also add that directory to your PATH?
Or can you copy the missing program to a location in your PATH?
I'm looking for a way to package my application with the added requirement that I need to add a python script to always run on startup.
What I've been trying so far is having a .pkg that installs the .app into the applications folder and adds the python script (wrapped in a .plist launch daemon) to the user's LaunchAgents folder.
I've tried a lot of different things, but for whatever reason the python script runs fine on the command line and just doesn't work when running through launchctrl. I could go into what the problems were, but I feel that would make more sense as a separate question.
I am wondering if I should be using a different approach to achieve my goal of installing the app in Applications and having a python script run on boot. Is there a more standard solution that I am missing perhaps? Thanks.
