Tcl_library In Cx_freeze

i am trying to build an exe file from my python script using the cx_freeze library. this is my code: import easygui easygui.ynbox('Shall I continue?', 'Title', ('Yes', 'No')) and

Solution 1:

Easygui uses some Tkinter so when compiling it you must include the Tkinter libraries.

this should just be a question of using the include_files arguement

Add the following arguments to your script:

PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.__file__))
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR,'tcl','tcl8.6')
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, 'tcl', 'tk8.6')

files = {"include_files": ["<Path to Python>/Python36-32/DLLs/tcl86t.dll", "<Path to Python>/Python36-32/DLLs/tk86t.dll"], , "clienticon.ico" ], "packages": ["easygui","matplotlib"]}

next alter:

options = {"build_exe": {"packages":["easygui","matplotlib"]}},

to:

options = {"build_exe": files},

and everything should work. Your script should now look like this:

import cx_Freeze
import sys
import matplotlib

PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.__file__))
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR,'tcl','tcl8.6')
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, 'tcl', 'tk8.6')

files = {"include_files": ["<Path to Python>/Python36-32/DLLs/tcl86t.dll", "<Path to Python>/Python36-32/DLLs/tk86t.dll"], "packages": ["tkinter", "easygui","matplotlib"]}


base = None

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    base = "Win32GUI"

executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("tkinterVid28.py", base=base, 
icon="clienticon.ico")]

cx_Freeze.setup(
    name = "SeaofBTC-Client",
    options = {"build_exe": files},
    version = "0.01",
description = "Sea of BTC trading application",
executables = executables
)

There is another error in your script as well. Because you did not use include_files argument to include the icon you want to use. It would not appear in the executable icon or in the output (if you used it in your tkinterVid28.py file) this would generate an error.

Oh and unless you have a reason to do so I cannot see why you imported matplotlib. Cx_Freeze detects imports in the script you are trying to convert to an executable and not in the setup script itself but it is always a good idea to list them in packages.

I hope this sorted your problem
