How do I use py2exe with paver?

I'm using paver to build my Python application, and I'd like to create an executable using py2exe. I've got the following in my pavement.py:

from paver.setuputils import setup
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

import paver
paver.setuputils.install_distutils_tasks()

... but when I run paver py2exe I get "Build failed: py2exe is not a Task". What am I doing wrong?

install python paver to ubuntu

I am trying to install paver to ubuntu (12.04) with this command

sudo apt-get install python-paver

I got this error message

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python-paver

How do I install paver in ubuntu then?

Overriding --errors-only=yes specified in rcfile

I use paver to run pylint as a task. In my rcfile(pylintrc) I have configured pylint to report only errors by setting errors-only=yes.

But I like to run paver pylint task with a verbose option to get it to report non-errors as well. How can I run pylint overriding the errors-only=yes setting?

Running with --errors-only=no gives an exception indicating that the --errors-only cannot be given a value. --enable=all also does not work.

Whats the cleanest workaround to get paver 1.0.3 working on Windows XP without the paths.py _isdir bug?

Until now I have been developing on a Windows 7 system. Recently i had to reset my entire dev enviromemt on a Windows XP system. My paver builds stopped working, i traced the reason for the failure to this bug. filled on paths.py [ https://github.com/dottedmag/path.py/issues/16 ].

Since paver is using a custom edited version of this file, the solution does not seem to be a simple 'update the paths.py module'. It also looks like there isnt a build of paver with the patch merged in.

Has someone else encountered this problem, whats the workaround that you came up with?

Open Edx IOError: [Errno 20] (draggabilly.pkgd.js)

I installed OpenEdx with Vagrant,
When I try to launch paver devstack studio or paver devstack lms with --fast or not, I got one error:
IOError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/common/lib/xm odule/xmodule/js/common_static/js/vendor/draggabilly.pkgd.js'

I try a lot of tricks I could see on StackOverflow, but nothing work. (I tried the "dealing-with-line-endings-and-symlinks-under-windows" trick)

This is my cygwin logs when I try : http://pastebin.com/ZcJqZU06

Using paver and nose together with an atypical directory structure

I'm trying to write a task for Paver that will run nosetests on my files.

My directory structure looks like this:

project/
   file1.py
   file2.py
   file3.py
   build/
      pavement.py
   subproject/
      file4.py
   test/
      file5.py
      file6.py

Doctests (using the --with_doctest option) should be run on all the *.py files, while only the files under project/test (in this example, file5.py and file6.py) should be searched for test routines.

I can't seem to figure out how to do this--I can write a custom plugin for nose which includes the correct files, but I can't seem to get paver to build and install it before calling the nosetests task. I also can't find a way to get paver to pass a list of files to test to nosetests on the command line.

What's the best way of getting this to work?

How to import modules in Paver?

I am using Paver for the first time and I can't import in my pavement.py a module I created in the same directory. The module was working when imported in a standalone script in the same directory. I guess paver is running from somewhere else, not the same directory.

Any suggestion?
