Fatal python error (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault when using Tkinter
I made a little game in pygame
and python 2.7
and added a dispatch box with . Tkinter
It worked fine until I compiled it with py2exe
/ pygame2exe
.
The compilation was error-free.
But , when I clicked on the exe file to run the application, the compiled code picked up this error:
fatal python error (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
This application has terminated in unusal way for more
information contact application support team.
When I remove the Tkinter code and compile it, it works fine.
This is part of the code Tkinter
:
#i tried importing both with import Tkinter and from Tkinter import*
if event.key==pygame.K_s:
subbox=Tkinter.Tk()
subbox_label=Tkinter.Label(subbox,text="Type your name:")
subbox_label.pack()
subbox_entry=Tkinter.Entry(subbox)
subbox_entry.pack()
def savescore(a):
a=str(a)
print a
print subbox_entry.get()
player_name=subbox_entry.get()
player_score=a
subbox_button=Tkinter.Button(text="Click",command=lambda:savescore(score))
subbox_button.pack()
subbox.mainloop()
UPDATE:
I ditched the Tkinter code line by line and it turned out that the Tkinter import throws an error!
This means that if I only have:
import Tkinter
my game won't work !!! What should I do?

one more important thing : if I import Tkinter before pygame, there is no segmentation fault, but the game does not start and an error window appears and says that this application is asking for a runtime to shutdown in an extraordinary way for more information contact applications support

Have you checked py2exe / Bugs?
While this is not exactly the same crash, the root cause of Tkinter's internal dependency on the Tcl sublayer and Tk DLL services seems to be similar:
CIT :.
""
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
" like below:
#### start
from Tkinter import *
if __name__ == '__main__':
print "hello"
#### end
my setup.py is as follows:
#### start
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}},
zipfile = None,
console=['example.py'])
#### end
it compiles just fine, but when you run " example.exe
" which is created in the " dist
" directory , it immediately gets the error "example.exe has encountered a problem and should close. sorry for the inconvenience"
Using the same setup.py
but with bundle_files = 3
works fine; using bundle_files = 2 produces the same error.
Hopefully this is enough information to reproduce this bug. I will be happy to provide any other information, if you need it - just send it here.
""
+ a suggested workaround:
CIT :.
""
I "fixed" this by editing site-packages/py2exe/build_exe.py
,
adding " tcl85.dll
" and " tk85.dll
" to the list " dlls_in_exedir
"
- this means that they are placed next to the .exe, and not linked within it .
A bit messy, but much better than bundled = 3
