I wrote some files in python and want to create an exe file. To do it with cx_freeze I create a setup.py file like that:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
build_exe_options = {"includes": ["tkinter"]}
# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a
# console application).
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
setup(
name = "LSR",
version = "0.1",
description = "",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("LS-R.py", base = base)])
then I write in the cmd :
python setup.py build
and I get this error:
error during GetDependentFiles() of "c:\users\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\dlls\tk86t.dll": (0, 'The system cannot find the file specified', 'c:\users\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\dlls\tk86t.dll', 2, None)

exe file created , but when I try open it I get this message :
ModuleNotFoundError:No module named 'tkinter'
someone know what is the problem? and what should I do to fix it? (I'm working in Windows OS)
Its Quite simple use;
pip install auto-py-to-exe
It will give you A GUI and is as simple as it gets. It is based on
Pyinstaller, cx-freeze, etc
See PyPI.
I was having the same problems even in Pyinstaller but this is the easiest way without any errors and is the most Effective way.
After Installation in cmd type
auto-py-to-exe
This will open a new Browser window with a beautiful and easy to use GUI.
It works for Tkinter well as I have used to to create like 50 Tkinter .exe files.
I made a program for activating windows in Tkinter with this;
See: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RKLIlGcrra1pC5MyaPWrlQa1tW25Wc_q/view
I hope this makes your job quite easy.

I've got a small program named "taquin" and I want to add an icon to the executable file.
My icon file is a image file 32x32 pixels extracted from a windows dll.
This program is built by py2exe with this small code
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1, 'compressed': True}},
windows = [
{
"script" : 'taquin.py',
"icon_ressources" : [(1, "taquin.ico")],
}
],
)
Could you help me please ? My operating system is Windows 10...
All the code is here : draft.ericberthomier.fr/taquin.zip
There is a program called auto-py-to-exe which creates an exe out of your program without requiring you to create a setup file. The interface is great and allows you to easily create and exe without creating a setup.py. This also allows you to package your app as a single exe, without any other files. Below is a screenshot:
You can install the program by typing into the command line:
python -m pip install auto-py-to-exe
You can run it by typing in:
auto-py-to-exe
To see more about auto-py-to-exe, please visit the PyPI page at https://pypi.org/project/auto-py-to-exe/.
I am trying to package a kivy based python application for windows using auto-py-to-exe. auto-py-to-exe uses Pyinstaller for packaging. So after packaging the application and trying to run the created executable file of the application, I encounter this error:
File "desktop.py", line 356, in <module>
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'clearcolor'
which in the actual code in desktop.py refers to:
from kivy.core.window import Window
....something....
if __name__ == "__main__":
.... something
Window.clearcolor = (1, 1, 0.99, 1)
....something
Here I am trying to provide close to white color background to the window.
I have checked for proper installation of kivy and availability of kivy.core.window module in site-packages of python.
I have read at severals places to use the package-name in --hidden-import as sometimes modules may not be picked due incorrect path or other issues, so I have tried passing this module as --hidden-import "kivy.core.window" and also tried --add-data flag as --add-data "C:/Python3/Lib/site-packages/kivy/core/window;window/" to forcefully include kivy.core.window.
However no luck and I still getting the same error.
If I am not mistaken the above mentioned error means the code get Nonetype when it tries to access window although the module is present at right place i.e. after packaging it is present in the package along with other kivy modules.
Also when I run the script from some IDE it works fine.
I have followed this document for debugging the Pyinstaller warnings/errors.
Config: Windows10, Python3.4, kivy 1.11.1
What am I missing or how can I specify executable to look for the file at the correct path?
So after #inclement's comment : to remove the line
After removing this line I get [CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort. . I have browsed this error and found different solution referring to sdl2.dll here. So I went ahead and added path to .dll files for sdl2, glew and angle in Windows environment variable path PATH = C:\Python3\share\sdl2\bin and so on for glew and angle. So all the .dll files are imported properly and it works fine.
I use this way to solve it:
(If you don't want to find sdl2 bin path, you can use this way.)
pip install pygame
If you use custom spec, you will need to edit it to let pyinstaller rebuild exe.
I don't know how does it work, but it work for me.
(Pygame also use sdl2)
(My env: kivy 2.1.0, pyinstaller 5.1, conda env, python 3.7)
Or like answer above, but use some different way:
# In spec file, modify this line:
a = Analysis(
...
binaries=[(r"Your_env_path\share\sdl2\bin\*.dll", ".")],
...
)
You can also use --add-binary argument.
how to use bundled program after pyinstaller --add-binary?
# In Unix
pyinstaller -w --add-binary="Your_env_path\share\sdl2\bin\*.dll:." -F main.py
# In Window
pyinstaller -w --add-binary="Your_env_path\share\sdl2\bin\*.dll;." -F main.py
Or following official way:
https://kivy.org/doc/stable/guide/packaging-windows.html
"Editor and add these lines at the beginning of the spec"
# In spec file:
from kivy_deps import sdl2, glew
exe = EXE(
...
*[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins)],
...
)
My english is not good, hoping this conveys the correct meaning.
I have a little problem with cx_freeze and hoping one of you can help me. I have searched trough this wonderfull forum but I can't find the answer.
I have used cx_freeze before with python 3.3 and ktinker and that worked flawless.
Now I made a little tool with a bit more complex gui and tried Glade.
Building the gui with Glade works perfect for me and on Linux and Windows 7 the application I have made works fine (in python interpreter).
When I run python setup.py bdist_msi I don't see any faults but when I try to run the exe in windows I get this error window:
(I can't post images jet)
The last 4 lines are:
_load_backward_compatible
File "ExtentionLoader_gi_gi.py", line 22, in <module
File "ExtentionLoader_gi_gi.py", line 14, in_bootstrap_
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
I don't use any plugins, exotic imports so the dll's I have to load are only the dll's for Gobject. The setup file I have made from an example on this forum. For my ktinker app I did not have to import any dll.
Finally the question: Is there a list of dll's somewhere that tells me what dll's I have to add?
And is there something wrong with my setup.py?
The code is nothing special but if you want to check it: https://github.com/EddenBeer/CodeGenerator

Looking for an answer if found a utility called ListDlls.exe.
In this link is explaned how to use it:
https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/issue/92/pygi-and-cx_freeze-error
I have one application developed in python 3.2, which has inbuilt modules(ex: Tkinter, matplotlib, openpyxl), user defined modules & classes(ex: draw_graph, generate_report), icon files, log file, .csv, .docx etc. I am running this application from script(ex: testapplication.py)
I have setup file as
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
exe = Executable(
script=r"C:\Python32\testapplication.py",
base="Win32GUI",
)
setup(
name = "TESTApp",
version = "0.1",
description = "An example",
executables = [exe]
)
Now I want to create a exe file of this application. can anyone please suggest me a way to do this?
So this is what you need to do. For starters, change script=r"C:\Python32\testapplication.py" to script=r"testapplication.py"
Then, put ALL the files to need to convert into C/python32 including the setup file. Then what you wan to do is get your command line up, and type the following commands: (assuming that you're cx_freeze file is named setup.py):
cd
cd python32
python setup.py build
And then you should have a build folder in that directory containing the exe file.
I have a PyQt4 program that I froze using cx_freeze. The problem I am having is when I make a QGraphicsPixmapItem, which it is getting its' pixmap made from a SVG file, the Item gets made no problem, but the Pixmap doesn't load so there is no image just the item in the scene. The thing that confuses me is that this only happens when I am running it on a different computer than the one that built the exe. When I run the exe on the computer that built it the program works perfectly. Even when I try to run it on a computer with all the required python components and pyqt components installed on the computer, if it isn't the computer that built it, the pixmap is not loaded from the svg file. I am not sure if this is a problem with my cx_freeze setup.py file or if I need to change something in the main code so any help or just pointing me in the right direction will be great. My feeling is that something is getting messed up when cx_freeze is building it so I will paste the contents of my setup.py file below. Also I am running on Windows using Python v3.1.
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
files = ['drawings\\FULL', 'drawings\\PANEL', 'data.csv', 'panelData.csv']
binIncludes = ['C:\\Python31\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyQt4\\bin\\QtSvg4.dll']
includes = ['main', 'PunchDialog', 'ArrayDialog', 'PricingDialog', 'FontAndInputDialog', 'PanelSelector', 'PyQt4', 'os', 'sys', 'ctypes', 'csv']
packages = ['drawings']
path = ['C:\\Users\\Brock\\Documents\\Programming\\PanelDesigner\\DrawingFirst', 'C:\\Python31\\Lib', 'C:\\Python31\\Lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Python31\\DLLs']
setup(
name = 'PanelBuilder',
version = '1.0',
description = 'Allows user to draw custom panel layouts.',
author = 'Brock Seabaugh',
options = {'build_exe': {'packages':packages, 'path':path, 'include_files':files, 'bin_includes':binIncludes, 'includes':includes}},
executables = [Executable('PanelBuilder.py')])
PS. Here is my file hierarchy(if that helps at all):
\DrawingFirst
Main .py file
All .py files for all custom dialogs used
\drawings
some modules used
\FULL
A bunch of SVG files used
\PANEL
More SVG files used
This is a nasty problem I have run into myself in the past.
Let me quote http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndPyQt:
(I know you are using cx_freeze but I am sure you can adapt your script)
PyQt4 and image loading (JPG, GIF,
etc)
PyQt4 uses plugins to read those image
formats, so you'll need to copy the
folder PyQt4\plugins\imageformats to
appdir\imageformats. Like in the
above cases, you can use data_files
for this. This won't work with
bundle_files on.
If the plugins are not reachable, then
QPixmap.load/loadFromData will return
False when loading an image in those
formats.
testapp.py:
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtSvg
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
wnd = QtSvg.QSvgWidget()
wnd.load("flower.svg")
wnd.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
setup.py:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
files = ['flower.svg']
includes = ['sip', 'PyQt4.QtCore']
setup(
name = 'Example',
version = '1.337',
description = 'Allows user to see what I did there.',
author = 'something',
options = {'build_exe': {'include_files':files, 'includes':includes}},
executables = [Executable('testapp.py')])
I created this test app on a Windows 7 machine and copied it over to a Windows XP machine. I did not have to copy any dlls around - it worked just like that.
I've added a hook to cx_freeze that includes imageformats whenever PyQt4.QtGui is included in the original code. With imageformats in the right place, even the externally stored icons work.
https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/pull-request/11/added-pyqt4qtgui-load-hook-that-adds/diff
For people coming here from Google: if you only use QtWebKit, you do need to copy the imageformats dir (which you find in PYTHONDIR\lib\site-packages\PyQt4\plugins) into your app dir. Specifying PyQt4.QtWebKit among the includes is not enough.
