fatal python error (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault when using Tkinter

Did you check py2exe/Bugs?

While it is not exactly the same crash, the root-cause, related to Tkinter internal dependence on sub-layer of Tcl & Tk DLL services seems similar:

"""

Using Tkinter, and bundle_files = 1, i get an immediate crash.

Here's my setup:

    winxp sp2    py2exe 0.6.8    python 2.5.1

My test file is "example.py", as follows:

#### startfrom Tkinter import *if __name__ == '__main__':print "hello"#### endmy setup.py is as follows:#### startfrom distutils.core import setupimport py2exesetup(options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}},zipfile = None,console=['example.py'])#### end

it compiles just fine, but when running the "example.exe" that is produced in the "dist" directory, it immediately gets the error message "example.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".

Using the same setup.py, but with bundle_files = 3 works fine; using bundle_files = 2 causes the same crash.

I hope this is sufficient information to replicate this bug. I will be happy to provide any other info if you need it - just post back here.

+ a there proposed workaround:

cit.:

"""

I "fixed" this by editing site-packages/py2exe/build_exe.py,

adding "tcl85.dll" and"tk85.dll" to the "dlls_in_exedir" list

-- meaning that they get put next to the .exe rather than bundled inside it.

Slightly messy, but much better than bundled=3
