exe error with cx_freeze - python

Hey am relatively new to compiling python scripts to exe. Im using cx_freeze to compile my scripts and once its built i run the exe and it gives me this error. Have google around alot but not too sure. Error is:
Cannot import traceback module.
Exception: No module named re
Original Exception: No module named re
Not too sure how to go about fixing this. I read that possibly there is a clash between a module named re? in python? and a module named re in cx_freeze module?
My setup file looks like:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
includes = []
includefiles = ['remindersText.pkl']
eggsacutibull = Executable(
script = "podlancer.py",
initScript = None,
base = 'Win32GUI',
targetName = "podlancer.exe",
compress = True,
copyDependentFiles = True,
appendScriptToExe = False,
appendScriptToLibrary = False,
icon = None
)
setup(
name = "Podlancer",
version = "0.1",
author = 'jono',
description = "Podlancer UI script",
options = {"build_exe": {"includes":includes, "include_files": includefiles}},
executables = [eggsacutibull]
)

Try to change
includes = []
to
includes = ["re"]
That worked for me

cx_freeze will barf if the runtime working directory is not the directory that the executable is in.
Is re the first import you do? What happens when you do them in a different order?

Meeting this same problem putting re in includes didn't work for me. It produced a cx_Freeze.freezer.ConfigError when rebuilding the .py file.
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
build_exe_options = {'include_files': ['re']}
setup( name = "Foreground Window Montior",
version = "0.1",
description = "Query the foreground window.",
options = {'build_exe': build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("actWin_Query.py")])
If I put re in packages rather than in include_files it did not produce this compile error.
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["re"]}
setup( name = "Foreground Window Montior",
version = "0.1",
description = "Query the foreground window.",
options = {'build_exe': build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("actWin_Query.py")])

cx-Freeze w/ multiple exe using same libraries

I have 3 py files to compile using cx-Freeze. The compile is successful but it appears something is overwritten at each step, meaning only the last compile is functioning properly (3/3). Doing the first 2 one-by-one, the error does not appear and they function as expected. All 3 scripts are sharing some of the libraries. What am I missing?
File
"C:\Python\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts__startup__.py",
line 13, in run
module = import(name + "init") ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scriptName__init__'
setup.py:
buildOptions = dict(excludes = ['matplotlib', 'PyQt4', 'PySide2'],
includes = ['urllib3', 'ibapi', 'idna.idnadata', 'numpy.core._methods', 'pandas'],
optimize = 1,
packages = ['pkg_resources._vendor'],
)
for fName in glob.glob('*.py')[:-1]:
nameDesc = fName.split('.')[0]
setup(
name = nameDesc,
version = "0.1",
description = nameDesc,
executables = [Executable(script = fName)],
options = dict(build_exe = buildOptions)
)
Solution:
setup(
name = 'Proj',
version = '0.1',
description = 'Proj',
executables = [Executable(i) for i in glob.glob('*.py')],
options = dict(build_exe = buildOptions),
)

cx_freeze + selenium + python 3 : No module named 'httplib'

Im trying to buld my app with selenium, i have this setup.py:

"packages": packages,
"path": path
}
# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a
# console application).
base = None
exe = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
exe = Executable(

setup(
name = "telll",
version = "0.1",
author = 'me',
description = "My GUI application!",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [exe]
)
The build finish with no problems, but when i run my application:
ImportError: No module named 'httplib'
My configuration:
Python 3.4.3 32bit.
PyQt5
Selenium 2.46.0
Thaks for the help
httplib either isn't in your directory path or hasn't been imported.
try adding either of these two scripts to your code:
import httplib
httplib = httplib(config_file="your directory path to httplib")

Cx-Freeze Error - Python 34

I have a Cx_Freeze setup file that I am trying to make work. What is terribly frustrating is that it used to Freeze appropriately. Now, however, I get the following error:
edit. the error that shows up is not a Python exception through the console, but a crash report when attempting to launch the resulting exe file generated through the freeze.
'File 'notetest.py', line 1, in
_find_and_load importlib_bootstrap.py, line 2214
....
AttributeError 'module' object has no attribute '_fix_up_module'
My setup.py file follows:
import sys
import os
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
build_exe_options = {'packages': [], 'excludes' : []}
base = 'Win32GUI'
exe = Executable(
script = 'notetest.py',
initScript = None,
base = 'Win32GUI',
targetName = 'MedicaidAid.exe',
compress = True,
appendScriptToExe = True,
appendScriptToLibrary = True,

You should install cx_freeze from this site. It contains an important patch that solves the problem (see this discussion for detailed).
Apparently this is a known issue with Cx_Freeze. BitBucket.
Apparently there is a compiling error that occurs. The bitbucket link lists the work-arounds.
I had the same issue and the solution by Northcat worked just perfectly. The issue of missing patch in the other cx_freeze came into picture while installing(some alert messages were thrown) it. It is this missing patch because of which the alerts were given. The new installation from this link had no such alerts while installing and it so worked fine.

Bundling GTK3+ with py2exe

Platform is Windows 7 64bit using python 2.7 and GTK3+ installed from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/files/?source=navbar
The exe is compiled but fails to run, due to this
The following modules appear to be missing
['gi.repository.Gdk', 'gi.repository.Gtk', 'overrides.registry']
How can i properly include these files?
imports in my .py file
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk
my setup file
#!/usr/bin/env python
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys
sys.path.append("C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\gnome")
sys.path.append("C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\repository")#tried including these extra dirs
sys.path.append("C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\override")#tried including these extra dirs
sys.path.append("C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\gi") #tried including these extra dirs
setup(
options = {
'py2exe': {
'bundle_files': 1,
#this does not work 'includes': ['Gtk']
}
},
console=["gui.py"],
zipfile=None
)
The executable error when ran:
ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading gi\_gi.pyd
Thanks
You need to add "gi" to "packages".
'options': {
'py2exe': {
'packages': 'gi',
}
}
I haven't tested it on 64bit but this is the setup.py I've used to build with cx_freeze, py2exe looks like is not maintained for a long time.
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import os, site, sys
## Get the site-package folder, not everybody will install
## Python into C:\PythonXX
site_dir = site.getsitepackages()[1]
include_dll_path = os.path.join(site_dir, "gtk")
## Collect the list of missing dll when cx_freeze builds the app
missing_dll = ['libgtk-3-0.dll',
'libgdk-3-0.dll',
'libatk-1.0-0.dll',
'libcairo-gobject-2.dll',
'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll',
'libjpeg-8.dll',
'libpango-1.0-0.dll',
'libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll',
'libpangoft2-1.0-0.dll',
'libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll',
'libgnutls-26.dll',
'libgcrypt-11.dll',
'libp11-kit-0.dll'
]
## We also need to add the glade folder, cx_freeze will walk
## into it and copy all the necessary files
glade_folder = 'glade'
## We need to add all the libraries too (for themes, etc..)
gtk_libs = ['etc', 'lib', 'share']
## Create the list of includes as cx_freeze likes
include_files = []
for dll in missing_dll:
include_files.append((os.path.join(include_dll_path, dll), dll))
## Let's add glade folder and files
include_files.append((glade_folder, glade_folder))
## Let's add gtk libraries folders and files
for lib in gtk_libs:
include_files.append((os.path.join(include_dll_path, lib), lib))
base = None
## Lets not open the console while running the app
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
executables = [
Executable("main.py",
base=base
)
]
buildOptions = dict(
compressed = False,
includes = ["gi"],
packages = ["gi"],
include_files = include_files
)
setup(
name = "test_gtk3_app",
author = "Gian Mario Tagliaretti",
version = "1.0",
description = "GTK 3 test",
options = dict(build_exe = buildOptions),
executables = executables
)
Depending on the libraries you have used you might have to add some missing dll, look at the output of cx_freeze.
I've posted the same some time ago on gnome's wiki:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject#Building_on_Win32_with_cx_freeze

issues with cx_freeze and python 3.2.2?

I'm trying to freeze a python 3.2.2 script with cx_freeze 4.2.3. PyQt4 is used by the source script, I'm not sure if that is a potential source of the issue. Python crashes during the build process. Here is the command line output:
C:\Python32\New Folder>python setup.py build
running build
running build_exe
copying C:\Python32\Lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\bases\Win32GUI.exe -> build\exe.win32-3.2\app.exe
copying C:\WINDOWS\system32\python32.dll -> build\exe.win32-3.2\python32.dll
Python itself crashes in Windows at this point and gives the "send error report" MS dialog:
python.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience.
Here is my setup.py file:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
GUI2Exe_Target_1 = Executable(
script = "script.pyw",
initScript = None,
base = 'Win32GUI',
targetName = "app.exe",
compress = True,
copyDependentFiles = True,
appendScriptToExe = False,
appendScriptToLibrary = False,
icon = "icon.png"
)
excludes = ["pywin", "tcl", "pywin.debugger", "pywin.debugger.dbgcon",
"pywin.dialogs", "pywin.dialogs.list", "win32com.server",
"email"]
includes = ["PyQt4.QtCore","PyQt4.QtGui","win32gui","win32com","win32api","html.parser","sys","threading","datetime","time","urllib.request","re","queue","os"]
packages = []
path = []
setup(
version = "1.0",
description = "myapp",
author = "me",
author_email = "email#email.com",
name = "app",
options = {"build_exe": {"includes": includes,
"excludes": excludes,
"packages": packages,
"path": path
}
},
executables = [GUI2Exe_Target_1]
)
Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?
edit: After some experimentation it appears the icon I am trying to use is causing issues. It will build if I leave out the icon setting.
Apparently cx_freeze wants icons to be in .ico format. If you try to use a .png for an icon the build process will crash. Also, simply renaming the file extension from .png to .ico does not work, you have actually convert the file to ico.
This may have been obvious to some people but the online docs don't go into detail about required formats for icons.
