YQL and compilation using py2exe

[Robert Sudwarts]

Hi. I ran into a problem using a pip installed version of 'yql' when trying to compile using py2exe. Unfortunately I've lost most of the tracebacks relating to the errors caused but in a nutshell, the methods that py2exe uses to track dependencies got caught up on the `sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../'))` that's used in yql.__init__. I'd not want to get caught up in the niceties of what is and isn't pythonic (!) and neither am I qualified to do so...! :)

But I do think that what you've written is a really useful bit of code. Is there any reason that this doesn't follow the more 'standard' pastescript/package format?

Regards,
Rob

Unfortunately I don't currently have the time to be able to look into making the changes necessary to support py2exe. That said if you or anyone else is interested in providing a patch for it I'll happily look to get it integrated.

Hi Stuart,

Ditto on the 'time' :)

I've got my own hacked solution for this (which I'm comfortable with pro
tem) but thought it might be useful to air the problem.

Thanks for your quick response.
