Error when trying to turn a python script using ursina into an executable

So I was using cx_Freeze in order to turn my python script using ursina into an executable but then this happened : Error
What am I supposed to do?
This is what my folder content and setup.py file looked like when I had the error : Content

Try to add 'ursina' to the packages list of the build_exe_options in the setup.py script.
EDIT: try also to add src to the include_files list of the build_exe_options:
build_exe_options = {'packages': ['ursina'], 'include_files': ['src']}
# ...
setup( name = ..., # complete!
...
options = {'build_exe': build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable(...)])
See the cx_Freeze documentation for further details.

From the original Ursina engine's folder copy the application.py file and in the build folder, you will find exe.win-amd64-3.9 folder , inside that there will be a folder named lib, inside that there will be ursina folder you have to paste it here (if you are using default download location then this is the application.py's path: C:\Users\welcome\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\ursina\application.py)

How to convert multiple python files to EXE

I am trying to convert my python game - space invaders into an exe. I have seen py2exe and cx_freeze but they seem to compile only 1 singe py file. I also have a bunch images from which I load from 2 resource folders that the modules depend on. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

Easy. Just use the cx_freeze script but modify its scope. Include the pygame libraries, add the tkinter dependency, and include the game file directory.
import cx_Freeze
import sys
import os
# Include TK Libs
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\\Users\\yourusername\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\tcl\tcl8.6'
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\\Users\\yourusername\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\tcl\tk8.6'
executables = [
cx_Freeze.Executable(
script="yourClientFile.pyw", # .pyw is optional
base = "Win32GUI"
)
]
cx_Freeze.setup(
name='myName',
options={'build_exe':{'packages':['pygame'], 'include_files':['yourGameDataDirectoryHere']}},
executables = executables,
version = '1.0.0'
)
Note that this will only work with this type of file structure:
Client.py (Runs game off src)
src - |
Game Files here

I'm personally familiar with pyinstaller, this is done via the "--onefile" parameter
However for py2exe it has been explained here,

cx_Freeze is not finding self defined modules in my project when creating exe

I have a project that runs from GUI.py and imports modules I created. Specifically it imports modules from a "Library" package that exists in the same directory as GUI.py. I want to freeze the scripts with cx_Freeze to create a windows executable, and I can create the exe, but when I try to run it, I get: "ImportError: No module named Library."
I see in the output that all the modules that I import from Library aren't imported. Here's what my setup.py looks like:
import sys, os
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
build_exe_options = {"packages":['Libary', 'Graphs', 'os'],
"includes":["tkinter", "csv", "subprocess", "datetime", "shutil", "random", "Library", "Graphs"],
"include_files": ['GUI','HTML','Users','Tests','E.icns', 'Graphs'],
}
base = None
exe = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
exe = Executable(
script="GUI.py",
initScript = None,
base = "Win32GUI",
targetDir = r"built",
targetName = "GUI.exe",
compress = True,
copyDependentFiles = True,
appendScriptToExe = False,
appendScriptToLibrary = False,
icon = None
)
base = "Win32GUI"
setup( name = "MrProj",
version = "2.0",
description = "My project",
options = {"build.exe": build_exe_options},
#executables = [Executable("GUI.py", base=base)]
executables = [exe]
)
I've tried everything that I could find in StackOverflow and made a lot of fixes based upon similar problems people were having. However, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get cx_freeze to import my modules in Library.
My setup.py is in the same directory as GUI.py and the Library directory.
I'm running it on a Windows 7 Laptop with cx_Freeze-4.3.3.
I have python 3.4 installed.
Any help would be a godsend, thank you very much!

If Library (funny name by the way) in packages doesn't work you could try as a workaround to put it in the includes list. For this to work you maybe have to explicitly include every single submodule like:
includes = ['Library', 'Library.submodule1', 'Library.sub2', ...]
For the include_files you have to add each file with full (relative) path. Directories don't work.
You could of course make use of os.listdir() or the glob module to append paths to your include_files like this:
from glob import glob
...
include_files = ['GUI.py','HTML','Users','E.icns', 'Graphs'],
include_files += glob('Tests/*/*')
...
In some cases something like sys.path.insert(0, '.') or even sys.path.insert(0, '..') can help.

Cx_Freeze - Include Modules automatically

should I include modules that I have used in my .py like os module in code below or its done automatically?and what about exclude?I have used pyqt4 in my .py is it necessary to add its name in this setup.py file?
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
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
setup( name = "my-app",
version = "0.9.0",
description = "Copyright 2013",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("my_module.py", base=base)])

As the comment says, dependencies are automatically detected, but you sometimes need to fine tune them manually. os and tkinter are just there as examples, you probably don't need them for your project. Generally, anything you've imported can be detected, but if you load plugin libraries some other way, it won't find them, so you need to specify them.
Try freezing it, and see if it fails because anything is missing, then go back and add that to packages.

Making a standalone .exe file of a python script

I have a python script which contains:
tempBook = temp.Workbooks.Open("c:\users\CNAME\desktop\Template.xlsx")
Everything works fine but when I create a .exe of my script the Template.xlsx is not included in its 'build' folder, it needs Template.xlsx to be present on the desktop. I want to make a portable exe.
Is there any way so that it can be included in the build, and make a standalone exe without any dependencies?

You need to move the file to your package, and list it in your setup.py:
setup(
# ...
data_files = [('', ['Tempate.xlsx',])],
)
See the data_files documentation for py2exe, which includes a utility function for automating adding data files.
The files will be added in your app root. From your main script, you can determine your app root by using:
import os
try:
approot = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
except NameError: # We are the main py2exe script, not a module
import sys
approot = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]))
