使用python 3.4用cx-freeze和tkinter冻结exe

Question

I am having trouble getting cx-freeze to make my executable, which makes heavy use of tkinter. My setup file code is as follows:

import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

build_exe_options = {"packages":["tkinter"]}

base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
    base = "Win32GUI"

setup(
    name = "distthis",
    version = "0.01",
    description = "Report Generator",
    options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
    executables = [Executable("distthis.py", base=base)]   
    )

When I try to build this from the command line (in the same directory) I can open the program, but it won't open a filedialog. I think the problem may be with tkinter. Can anybody help?

Ok I found the answer here: Keep getting a 'filedialog' error after creating executable with cx_Freeze

Following the advice at the bottom of the page I changed the tkinter module imports to explicit ones and the problem was gone.

If anybody knows why this strange behaviour happens I would love to know!
