Hi, I tried to create an executable from my python project. cx_Freeze is givinig this error though

I also tried the pyinstaller but that one is not compatible with python 3.6

My setup.py script is

import cx_Freeze

exe = [cx_Freeze.Executable("main.py")]

cx_Freeze.setup( name = "downloads", version = "1.0", options = {"build_exe": {"packages": ["errno", "os", "re", "stat", "subprocess","collections", "pprint","shutil", "humanize","pycallgraph"], "include_files": []}}, executables = exe )

Could you help me?

Answer 1

Here is how I would do it.

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

build_exe_options = {"packages": ["errno", "os", "re", "stat", "subprocess","collections", "pprint","shutil", "humanize","pycallgraph"]}

setup( name = "downloads", 
       version = "1.0", 
       options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options}, 
       description = "Your description here.",
       executables = [Executable("main.py")])

As a side note depending on your environment you shouldn't need to explicitly include things like "os", "re", "shutil" or any other standard library modules as cx_Freeze should be able to find and import those automatically.

Also make sure your "humanize" package is imported in your "main.py" script.

Answer 2

Okay I fixed by avoiding the setup.py completely.

There is another way in the Official documentation

Typing..

cxfreeze main.py

in the cmd works for me
