py2exe - py2exe 0.14.0.0

This major release introduces support for Python 3.12 and 3.13, and drops support for Python 3.8, following the official Python support schedule. This release also drops support for values of bundle_files<3 for Python 3.12 and newer (see #225 for further details).

Note: the former setup.py py2exe command line interface is not yet deleted, but it is most likely not functional on 3.12+ due to the lack of distutils. I will remove it as announced in an upcoming minor release.

What's Changed

• Add support for Python 3.12
• Add support for Python 3.13
• Remove support for Python 3.8
• runtime: raise RuntimeError with bundle_files<3 in Python 3.12+ (see #225)
• Add support for MinGW by @raedrizqie in https://github.com/py2exe/py2exe/pull/214

py2exe - py2exe 0.13.0.0

This major release introduces support for Python 3.11 and drops support for Python 3.7, following the official Python support schedule. This release also removes the already deprecated command line interface of py2exe (formerly accessible via build_exe or -m py2exe). In addition, this release deprecates win32 wheels, due to increasing difficulties in testing them properly (see #157 for further information).

Note: contrary to what was announced in 0.12.x, this release does not remove the setup.py py2exe interface, but keeps it as deprecated, because not enough time has passed since the deprecation. Removal is still scheduled to happen before the release of Python 3.12 (when distutils will be removed upstream).

Changelog: - Add support for Python 3.11 - Drop support for Python 3.7 - Drop support for win32 wheels: - win32 wheels are still built and shipped but are provided untested. Issues experienced when using these wheels will not be investigated. See #157 for further information. - Remove build_exe command line interface. Please use the py2exe.freeze API. - Migrated the frozen Python bootloader to the new PyConfig initialization API. - _memimporter: switch to sys.modules dict to check for reimports instead of _PyImport_FindExtensionObject - runtime.LOAD_FROM_DIR: remove deprecated call toimp.load_dynamic`

py2exe - py2exe 0.12.0.0

This new major release introduces a new API to use py2exe: the freeze function. Further information about how to use this function can be found in its documentation. A migration guide from the existing interfaces is also available here.

In addition, this release marks the existing setup.py py2exe and distutils.core.setup interfaces as deprecated. This was necessary due to the upstream deprecation of distutils and of the whole setup.py CLI. Both these interfaces will be completely removed in the next major release of py2exe. Further information about the rationale behind these changes can be found in #150 and #127. Special thanks to @Athanasius and @effigies for fruitful discussions during this migration.

As a result of this migration, some configuration options formerly available in setup were formally discontinued. Please refer to the py2exe.freeze documentation for a comprehensive list of all the supported options.

Changelog: - Introduce the new py2exe.freeze API. Documentation can be found here. - Use of the setup.py py2exe command and of distutils is deprecated Both these interfaces will be removed in the next major release. - Add two hooks to fix the bundling of winrt (issue #118 by @willf668) and passlib (issue #144 by @urishab).

py2exe - py2exe 0.11.0.0

Time for a new "major" release of this project. This version introduces a new implementation of ModuleFinder, the class in charge of tracking the modules used by your code, that directly wraps CPython modulefinder.ModuleFinder. This solves a lot of issues and cleans a lot the code devoted to this task. The new reimplementation is called mf310 and replaces the one used in 0.10, mf34. The code is now definitely more modern and hopefully allows for longer maintainability of this project.

As you can imagine, this is quite a breaking change in how py2exe operates internally. While the API and setup.py scripts are not affected, I expext issues might happen when packaging software with this release, hence the bump in the "major" version number. Please report in the issue tracker any error that happens when freezing code that could have been packaged correctly with version 0.10.4.1.

Additionally, this release introduces support for Python 3.10. Wheels are published on PyPI as usual. A small side note though: the wheels for Python 3.10 win32 are provided "as is", without functional tests, as a lot of other packages do not publish wheels for this platform anymore (e.g. scipy, pandas, matplotlib). Due to the lack of these dependencies, I am unable to test the py2exe wheels properly, hence I had to disable the functional tests for this platform entirely. For this reason, issues with the cp310-cp310-win32 wheels will not be investigated.

Changelog: - New module finder mf310 written as a wrapper around CPython modulefinder.ModuleFinder - allows to freeze packages with apparent AttributeError or similar in the code or their modules (issue #112 raised by @lukaszgo1) - a new functional test is added for this feature - a lot of other minor bugs fixed by the new module finder - a copy of the parent module is added as a vendor module under py2exe.vendor - Add support for Python 3.10 - wheels for cp310-cp310-win32 are provided without support - New hook and functional test for scipy - zipextimporter can now be built as a standalone extension via its own setup script - Build wheels via python setup_zipextimporter.py bdist_wheel - Allows to use and debug zipextimporter separately as described in the original documentation - _memimporter: do not use importlib.reload for multi-phase initialization modules

py2exe - py2exe 0.10.4.0

Time for a new minor release. py2exe now supports loading extensions that use multi-phase inizialization (PEP 489) when bundle_files<=2. This restores compatibility with a lot of standard library modules of Python 3.9.

Changelog: - Add support for multi-phase initialization (PEP 489) in _memimporter - this fixes importing modules like _bz2, _functools, math, and many others with bundle_files<=2 in Python 3.9 (issue #87 by @11philip22 and @mateiacd) - New hook for selenium (issue #85 by @rloutrel) - New add_datafile_to_zip method in dllfinder to add data files directly in the zip archive (to be used only when the module is able to load data files from there) - Updated copyright notices

py2exe - py2exe 0.10.3.0

This release changes the build system of py2exe wheels to rely more on setuptools and less on modifications from our side. This will change the wheel filenames, but they will be still fully compatible with pip. However, the filename change could impact developers that relied on these names directly in their build chains. In addition to that, this release includes several bugfixes and a new hook for matplotlib.

Changelog: - py2exe wheels now follow the standard naming format provided by setuptools and wheel (e.g. py2exe-0.10.2.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl) - New hook for supporting matplotlib 3.2 and higher (issue #71 by @poettler-ric) - Fix for including implicit namespace packages as per PEP420 (issue #70 raised by @Mikayex) - ModuleFinder._gcd_import: improve error message if module is in the excludes list - The CI of py2exe is now hosted on GitHub Actions. AppVeyor and Bintray will no longer be used - Several bug fixes to the py2exe bdist_wheel system and CI tests

py2exe - py2exe 0.10.2.0

This release includes a new implementation of ModuleFinder that will solve two long-standing known issues, several fixes for more compact bundle_files settings, plus a few changes to the hooks to support more packages.

Changelog: - Patches on mf34 to make it compatible with newer versions of Python - mf34 (based on importlib.util.find_spec) is now used by default instead of mf3 - Add support for implicit namespace packages (PEP 420) - Restore functionality of executables packed with bundle_files<3 with all the supported Python versions - The bundle_files<=2 and the zipfile=None options are generally compatible only with the standard library. More complex software could still work but is not actively supported nor tested. - Currently, ssl does not work with bundle_files=0 (#65). - Unit tests do not show anymore a DeprecationWarning due to the use of importlib.find_loader - runtime: added further safeguards to prevent the accidental inclusion of DLLs in the library zip archive (instead of PYDs) - Add a hook and a functional test for pycryptodome - Add a hook for shapely - Add a functional test for zope.interface (which uses PEP 420) - Add a unit test for implicit namespace packages
