[PYTHON] Convert binary packages for windows to wheel format

I wrote that here doesn't provide the wheel format for some binary packages, so I can't completely migrate from easy_install to pip. Note that there was a tool wininst2wheel that might solve it.

Confirmation repository: https://bitbucket.org/toruuetani/wininst2wheel_test

py2exe

wininst2wheel py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.7.exe

The command py2exe-0.6.9-cp27-none-win32.whl was created. Install this with the following command.

pip install py2exe-0.6.9-cp27-none-win32.whl

Try building a simple source to see if it works.

python setup.py py2exe

py2exe_test.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print "hello"

setup.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

option = {
    "compressed": 1,
    "optimize": 2,
    "bundle_files": 1
}

setup(
    options = {
        "py2exe": option
    },

    console = [
        {"script": "py2exe_test.py"}
    ],

    zipfile = None
)

Apparently it's working fine.

$> dist\py2exe_test.exe
hello

psycopg2

wininst2wheel psycopg2-2.5.2.win32-py2.7-pg9.2.6-release.exe

The command psycopg2-2.5.2-cp2.cp3-none-6_release.whl was created. Install this with the following command.

pip install psycopg2-2.5.2-cp2.cp3-none-6_release.whl

failed.

psycopg2-2.5.2-cp2.cp3-none-6_release.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\usename\pip\pip.log

If you look at the error log, is it because it is an unsupported platform? For the time being, the file name is different from other wheels, so try to match it-> psycopg2-2.5.2-cp2.cp3-none-any.whl and the installation was successful. psycopg2-2.5.2-cp2.cp3-none-win32.whl didn't work. A mystery.

python -c "import psycopg2"

Has succeeded, so it seems to be working for the time being. Just in case, check if it works with django.

pip install "django==1.6.2"
python django-admin.py startproject psycopg2test

I was able to confirm that it works on the development server, so it seems that there is no problem.

pywin32

wininst2wheel pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe

The command pywin32-218-cp27-none-win32.whl was created. Install this with the following command.

pip install pywin32-218-cp27-none-win32.whl

At first glance it looks like it was installed, but if you do python -c "import win32api"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Will be displayed. This is because pywintypes27.dll and pythoncom27.dll cannot be loaded. If you run pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe directly, you will need to be elevated to administrator privileges and these DLLs have been copied to your system directory. Therefore, it can be imported without any problem. This behavior can be reproduced by executing pywin32_postinstall.py with administrator privileges, but it is difficult to place the DLL in the system directory even in the virtualenv environment. If your goal is to work for the time being, use the above DLL Copy it to % VENV_DIR% \ Lib \ site-packages \ win32.
