Im trying to create a basic exe using cx_Freeze. It works for .py programs that don't have numpy but I can't get one made correctly with numpy.
*Any ideas on how to fix this? is there something i need to include in my setup.py?
When I go to run the exe it says:
c:\Python32\Scripts\dist>Assignment4_5.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console3.py", line 2

Setup.py:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
includeDependencies = []
setup(
name = "Assignment4_5PythonExe",
version = "0.1",
description = "Sort Methods",
executables = [Executable("Assignment4_5.py")]
)
This is a bug in cx_Freeze - it doesn't automatically detect that it should copy the module numpy.lib.format
. It's already fixed in the development version, so if you're in a position to try that, it should work.
Otherwise, you'll need to specify that numpy.lib.format
needs to be included in your setup.py
. The line will look something like this:
options = {"build_exe": {"packages": ["numpy.lib.format"]}},
