I'm following this tutorial here to make a snakegame in pygame. Here is my setup.py code:
import cx_Freeze
executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("snake.py")]
cx_Freeze.setup(
name="Snake",
options={"build_exe":{"packages":["pygame"], "include_files":["apple.png","Aenemy.png","bomb.png","cherry.png","enemy.png","fire.png","iceimg.png","snakebod(2).png","snakebod.png","Explosion.wav","Explosion2.wav","jump.wav","Pickup_Coin.wav","Powerup.wav","openingsong.mp3","highscores.txt",]}},
description = "Snake Game made in python with pygame.",
executables = executables
)
When I try to build that in the command prompt I get this error
C:\Users\Accounts\Documents\snake>C:/Python35/python setup.py build running build running build_exe File "C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\hooks.py", line 597, in load_tkinter tclSourceDir = os.environ["TCL_LIBRARY"]
File "C:\Python35\lib\os.py", line 681, in getitem raise KeyError(key) from None KeyError: 'TCL_LIBRARY'KeyError: 'TCL_LIBRARY'
and it doesn't build. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
I was getting a similar error and solved it successfully this morning!
Add following lines to your setup.py code
import os
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Program Files\\Python35\\tcl\\tcl8.6"
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Program Files\\Python35\\tcl\\tk8.6"
you may need to replace C:\Program Files\Python35\tcl\tcl8.6 and C:\Program Files\Python35\tcl\tk8.6 with the exact path of tcl8.6 and tk8.6 on your system respectively.
Assuming you are using windows operating system:
Add 2 environment variable named TCL_Library and TK_Library in your machines user and system variable
TK_Library
TCL_Library
Env variable

cx_Freeze import _tkinter #if this fails your python may not be configurated for Tk.. ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid win32 application
Hi! I created a word guessing/memorizing language practice program in tkinter, and i wanted to convert it to an executable app but i get errors again and again... I tried at least 10-15 different ways but it is still same. So i googled all the similar topics and tried every single suggestion but they did not work for me. I tried pyinstaller as well. It does not give an error but also it does not run the executed app either. When i click on the app.exe, black CMD screen appears then disappears and it creates the csv file to save the words. So i changed to cx_Freeze but it does not work either.
What have i tried?
For pyinstaller:
I converted my app.py to app.exe by using pyinstaller -F app.py and pyinstaller app.py, but none of them worked.
For cx_Freeze
1- I tried my old setup.py (which worked to convert my all games to .exe) but it did not work on this, i guess it is about tkinter. Because my games were written with pygame, i did not use tkinter for anything.
2 -I tried at least 10 different setup files shared by you guys on stackoverflow and other websites. But they did not work either.
3- I tried to set environment
4- I tried to specify environment
5- I copied tcl86t.dll and tk86t.dll files from the python dlls to my app directory and added them as included files in the setup.py
6- I deleted 64bit version and i only have 32bit version of python3.7
and more and more...
So this is my current setup.py
import sys,os
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = "C:\Python37\tcl\tcl8.6"
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = "C:\Python37\tcl\tk8.6"
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os"],"includes":["tkinter"],"include_files": []}
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
setup( name = "App",
version = "0.1",
description = "My GUI application!",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("app.py", base=base)]
)
I use Windows7 64bit and Python 3.7.1 32bit and 3.7.0 64bit
So what should i do? I am stuck here. I really gave up and asking a new question on here. Please help me guys.. Thanks in advance.
I downloaded cx_Freeze because I'm trying to make a .exe file to share with my platoon and I've been reading through the docs as well as scrolling through cx_Freeze tutorial. After following both of those I still don't know why this isn't working for me. I'm on Python 3.6.2 and I have the path directly setup to the command line.
I tried to launch with setup.py and Julian date 2.py on the desktop and I tried adding them to same folder, but no matter what I try I get back this error when I type python setup.py build, python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Error2] no such file or directory or file exsists. Below is my setup.py code.
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(name = "Julian date 2" ,
version = "0.1" ,
description = "" ,
executables = [Executable("Julian date 2.py")])
Another issue I ran into was trying to type cxfreeze Julian date 2.py --target-dir dist I get the error 'cxfreeze' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
When you type python setup.py build, you are supposed to be in the directory with setup.py and not anywhere else. So use the command cd to get there.
cx_freeze is not in your path variable so cxfreeze Julian date 2.py --target-dir dist will not work and you have to instead add it to your path (somehow) [not recommended]
Hope this helped.
P.S.
executables = [Executable("Julian date 2.py")]) takes base too. If you want a console application:
executables = [Executable("Julian date 2.py",base='None')])
Gui for windows:
executables = [Executable("Julian date 2.py",base='Win32GUI')])
And you forgot your exe options in setup(). I recommend adapting the setup.py script on cx_freeze doxs:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os"], "excludes": ["tkinter"]}
# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a
# console application).
base = "None"
setup( name = "name",
version = "0.1",
description = " ",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("file.py", base=base)])
I solved the first issue, my file was named 'setup.py' and not just 'setup' as it's supposed to be...The name must be setup, the extension .py
Know it's DUMB, after hours, that was the problem...
I am currently trying to use cx_Freeze to create a .exe file for my python scripts.
First, do cx_freeze get all data on the folder into the build folder?
Secondly, I'm having an issue when launching the .exe file. The fact that the first file opens the second one could be the issue ?
The console opened and closed, according to another post on Stackoverflow, I created a .bat file containing :
myfilename.exe%1
pause
to check out what the issue is and I got this issue :
Issue
I've really no idea what to do next since I tried many things on the setup.py to make things working.
Here is the setup.py :
"""setup.py"""
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import os
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Users\\Roukira\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\tcl\\tcl8.6"
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Users\\Roukira\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\tcl\\tk8.6"
build_exe_options = {"includes": ["tkinter"]}
setup(name="todolist",
version="0.1",
description = "A simple to do list with differnt tabs per account.",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("login_system.py",base=None)])
I'm only using pillow as an external module but it doesn't seem to be the issue.
Thanks for your help by advance !
EDIT : I managed to fix it by adding the ddl missing files path inside the "include_files" option:
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os", "tkinter"], "include_files": ["to_do_list.py","336sur525.gif","384sur540.gif",
"accounts.txt","button_hide_2.gif","button_quit_2.gif","choose.gif","icone.ico","user.gif",
r"C:\Users\Roukira\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\DLLs\tcl86t.dll",
r"C:\Users\Roukira\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\DLLs\tk86t.dll"]}
My script was using a subprocess.call function to call another script, so it didn't work after becoming .exe, I added the .py file inside the "include_files" and it worked as intended.
Using py2exe I create an exe version of my script with instructions I found here. The script compiles well and generates a dist and build folder each but when I run the program on the command line it gives this error. N.B the script works fine on my IDE environment, however I intend give a colleague the exe version.How can I fix this error?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tester2.py", line 4, in <module>
ImportError: No module named mechanize
here is the setup.py file:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
console = ['tester2.py'],
zipfile = None,
)
You have to declare your dependencies.
This is my setup
setup(
executables=executables,
options=options,
name='bla',
version='0.3',
packages=[...],
url='',
license='',
author='',
author_email='',
description='', requires=['pandas', 'unidecode', 'click',
'xlsxwriter'] // you would have to add mechanize here
)
Have you added files to the build?
Pls have a look at include option in setup.py: exe built with cx_Freeze, PyQt5, Python3 can't import ExtensionLoader_PyQt5_QtWidgets.py and run
Also here's my solution to similar problem, how to add files to build and run them later: Python - create an EXE that runs code as written, not as it was when compiled
I am a beginner in python and django. This error keeps coming, even after installing cx_freeze from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#cx_freeze
I am trying to make an executable file and I want to run my server through it, which I normally do by:
manage.py runserver
I am currently using commands:
setup.py build
I have already tried:
pyinstaller --name=mysite myproject_dir/manage.py
and my setup.py file contains
import sys
from distutils.core import setup
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(
name = "Management System",
version = "1.0",
description = "A Database Management System",
py_modules=['virtualenv'],
executables = [Executable("manage.py", base = "Win32GUI")])
I have also tried py2exe, it doesn't work. You can also suggest to read something for this knowledge.
Here is the image of error that keeps appearing on running the exe file
If I use this command:
Barcode.exe runserver
There also comes an error
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified:'C:\\Users\\D ell\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\_MEI85~1\\Entry\\migrations/*.*'
