Hi i use video capture library and PIL for webcam capture.
Everything works fine if I run it as by. But when I compile to exe it and run it i get this error

Code

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cam.py", line 25, in <module>
  File "cam.py", line 13, in __init__
  File "VideoCapture.pyc", line 50, in __init__
  File "PIL\ImageFont.pyc", line 247, in load_path
IOError: cannot find font file

I googled then and on the py2exe website i found a solution.
I just should copy the files helvetica-10.pil, helvB08.pil, helvetica-10.png and helvB08.png into the "dist" directory.
And I done it, but I got the same error again.
Please help

Sending a source would be desirable. :)

Oh here it is
Btw i'm using 2.6 version of python

Code

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
from VideoCapture import Device
import PIL

class webcam:
    def __init__(self):
  self.win = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500))
  pygame.display.set_caption("Beskrajna igra :D")
  self.screen = pygame.display.get_surface()
  self.cam = Device()
  self.record()

    def record(self):
  fps = 20.0
  img = self.cam.getImage()
  pygame.time.delay(int(1000 * 1.0/fps))
  self.snap = pygame.image.frombuffer(img.tostring(),img.size,img.mode)
  self.screen.blit(self.snap, (0, 0))
  pygame.display.flip()
  self.record()

app = webcam()

Are you moving the exe from it's default directory after compiling?

[haro2x]

Nope it stays in the dist directory.

Try http://www.pyinstaller.org/ it has better support for compiling non-standard libs.

And I find it way better then py2exe.

If you've been getting errors like this:

File "PIL\ImageFont.pyc", line ---, in load_path IOError: cannot find font file

The fix is to simply copy the files

Code

helvetica-10.pil, helvB08.pil, helvetica-10.png and helvB08.png

into the "dist" directory.

It may also be needed to add current path in the load_path() function in ImageFont.py (otherwise it searches in sys.path directories only).

Code

for dir in sys.path+['.'] instead of for dir in sys.path
