I'm trying to convert a py file to a .exe using cx_Freeze. I used Python 3.6 to made the program and I'm using a Mac.
I've watched many tutorials on YouTube and I understand I have to create a file named setup.py with the following code:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(name='program',
version='0.1',
description = 'program for mun',
executables = [Executable('main.py')]
)
And then when in Terminal I must enter:
python3 setup.py build
After some seconds it shows the following error:
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl'
Does anyone know why? Thanks.

I've used py2exe successfully for previous projects on previous build machines, but now I've freshly installed everything from scratch and can't run the simplest example:
setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=['hello.py'])
hello.py:
print("Hello World")
Command: python3 setup.py py2exe
Output:
running py2exe

? _posixshmem imported from multiprocessing.resource_tracker, multiprocessing.shared_memory
Building 'dist\hello.exe'.
error: [WinError 87] The parameter is incorrect.
dest\hello.exe is generated (37 kB!) but gives the following error when run:
Could not locate script resource:The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file.

I know that there is clearly something weird happening (I've already hit the issue with 'numpy' here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1207405/fmod-after-an-update-to-windows-2004-is-causing-a.html ) ... but I can't quite see what it is.
Thanks !

You just misstyped the command line flag, should be: python setup.py py2exe.
Works fine for me on Win7, Python 3.8.0:
(py38) λ python setup.py py2exe
running py2exe

I installed cx_Freeze using pip:
C:\Users\Sarah\Documents\PythonScripts>python -m pip install cx_Freeze --upgrade
Collecting cx_Freeze
Downloading cx_Freeze-5.0.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl (162kB)
Installing collected packages: cx-Freeze
Successfully installed cx-Freeze-5.0.2
However, I get this error when I try to execute a script:
setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Sarah\Documents\PythonScripts\setup.py", line 9, in <module>
from cx_freeze import setup, Executable
ImportError: No module named cx_freeze
When I check the system path, I get all this information
print (sys.path)
['', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\spyder\\utils\\site', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Documents\\PythonScripts', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\python36.zip', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\DLLs', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Sphinx-1.5.6-py3.6.egg', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-27.2.0-py3.6.egg', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\IPython\\extensions', 'C:\\Users\\Sarah\\.ipython']
I am assuming that somehow, the path to the cx_freeze module is lost in here somewhere. I would really appreciate some simple (novice user) ideas for how to go about fixing this.
I tried copying the folder cx-freeze to the PythonScripts folder but that didn't help.
I know why you are getting this error and I do not think it has anything to do with the file path.
Try:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
in the place of
from cx_freeze import setup, Executable
in your setup.py script
and this error should fix (you had f not F).

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Other\\Desktop\\Python3.5.2\\lib\\site-packages\\py2exe\\run-py3.5-win32.exe'
I downloaded py2exe (pip install py2exe), and Im using Python 3.5.2. I have a script that I need to be an executable file, but I keep getting the above error when I try python <filename> py2exe. Any ideas? I tried to remove and redownload, but that didn't work
I am following the tutorial here and when I try to run setup.py I get this
running py2exe
Building 'dist\test.exe'.
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\py2exe\\run-py3.5-win-amd64.exe'
What am I doing wrong?
What is your python version? py2exe does not support Python 3.5, but you can use Python 3.4 or lower.
When I try to build a minimal Cython file test.pyx with Python 3.3 (Anaconda 3) under windows 7, I obtain a strange error:
C:\Users\myname\Test_cython>python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
Of course test.pyx is in the working directory. It works fine under windows with Python 2.7 (Anaconda) and under Linux with Python 2 and 3.
What could be the problem here with Python 3.3 (Anaconda 3)?
Thanks
The file setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
setup(
name = 'test',
cmdclass = {"build_ext": build_ext},
ext_modules = [Extension('test', ['test.pyx'])]
)
Solution:
I found that the line 404 of the file cygwinccompiler.py of the package disutils
out_string = check_output(['gcc', '-dumpmachine'])
has to be changed as
out_string = check_output(['gcc', '-dumpmachine'], shell=True)
Then, it compiles normally.
