Windows daily builds + py2exe + Python 2.5

[Marcos Chaves]

Hi,

FWIW, here's my list of... hmm... "manual patches" to create my daily
build on windows, using Python 2.5. These are complements to the
instructions provided in the contrib/win32/ directory:

Before running py2exe:

* fix a bug in py2exe for Python 2.5 - linecache.getline() now has
three arguments. Fix
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py with the following
patch:

--- boot_common.py-orig 2006-11-29 00:16:35.000000000 -0200
+++ boot_common.py      2006-11-29 00:14:49.000000000 -0200
@@ -90,7 +90,7 @@
  # someone elses removable or network drive so the getline() call
 # causes it to ask them to insert a disk in that drive.
  import linecache
-def fake_getline(filename, lineno):
+def fake_getline(filename, lineno, module_globals = None):
     return ''
  linecache.orig_getline = linecache.getline
  linecache.getline = fake_getline

The "= None" just makes this patch work with earlier versions of
Python too. I don't know who originally posted this on the web,
because it can be found everywhere.

* call py2exe without the "-b 1" option mentioned on
"win32-build.txt". I don't know what that means, but this option
prevents py2exe to find some of the modules imported by
mercurial.demandload.

* add build\bdist.win32\winexe\collect-2.5\email\iterators.py to
dist\library.zip. This should be a simple fix on setup.py, but I still
don't know how to do it - I noticed that this was missing today when
'hg import' crashed.

If I can come with nice patches to make this process easier, I'll send
them to the list.

Anyone with similar experiences?
