Compile a Python project Windows

Question

I have the following directory structure to my python project:

eplusplus/
    |
    |
    ----__main__.py
    ----model/
    ----exception/
    ----controller/
    ----view/

The directories: model, exception, controller and view each one has its __init__.py . When I run the program at my machine I always use this following command: py -m eplusplus . But when I tried to use py2exe or pytinstaller the the points to: permission denied . For what I found, this is because its a directory I trying to compile, but when I compiled the __main__.py it compiled normally, but when I try to execute it says: Error! No eplusplus module founded! Error! No eplusplus module founded!

I have no setup.py file and I don't know how they worked.

Answer 1

After some very intensive research and error and try I succeeded by doing this:

• I added an empty __init__.py at the eplusplus folder

• Out of the eplusplus folder, I had to write a compilation.py file (the file doesn't necessary must have this) to include all libraries I was using (I will post the file at the end of this answer)

• Finally, at the PowerShell, all I have to type was py compilation.py py2exe

Thanks for all that tried to help me!
