Problem compiling python in pyqt libraries, with py2exe

Question

I’m trying to compile with py2exe, but when I compile from error.

Let me give you an example of this error, with Python 2.7 64-bit programs, pyqt4 for Python 2.7, and py2exe for Python 2.7.

Follow the example:

Create a file teste.py bodily:

import sys  
from PyQt4 import QtGui, uic

Create a file setup.py with the body:

from distutils.core import setup  
import py2exe
setup(console=['teste.py'])

Afterwards Compile:

python setup.py py2exe

And the error occurs:

error: compiling
'C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PyQt4\uic\port_v3\proxy_base.py' failed
SyntaxError: invalid syntax <proxy_base.py, line 26>

Answer 1

According to the information on this site:
Pyqt 4.7 and py2exe error

There is a recommendation to remove (or temporarily move to some other location), the directory port_v3, that in your question is on the way:

C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PyQt4\uic\port_v3

On this other site:
Pyqt4 compiling issues

There is a recommendation for in addition to removing the folder port_v3, use the following command to generate the executable:

python "setup.py py2exe --includes sip"

A hint: before you remove the folder, you can try the above command to generate the executable and, if it doesn’t work, try removing the folder and generating again (with the full command including the sip).
