Good day all,
I am having trouble using cx_Freeze on a code I am working on converting to a .exe.
When I run cx_Freeze I get the following ImportError that there no no module named scipy
running install
running build
running build_exe
Traceback (most recent call last):

I can confirm that I have Scipy 0.16 installed on my system which works when I import it into other python code. I am currently running python 3.4 on Windows. The following is my setup.py file for cx_Freeze.
import cx_Freeze
import sys
import matplotlib
base = None
if sys.platform == 'win32':
base = 'Win32GUI'
executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable('fractureGUI.py', base=base, icon='star_square.ico')]
packages = ['tkinter','matplotlib','scipy']
include_files = ['star_square.ico', 'C:\\Python34\\Lib\\site-packages\\scipy']
cx_Freeze.setup(
name = 'FracturePositionMonteCarlo',
options = {'build_exe': {'packages':packages,
'include_files':include_files}},
version = '0.01',
description = 'Fracture Depth Monte Carlo',
executables = executables
)
The following is the import section of my main script, fractureGUI.py.
import scipy
from random import random
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg
from matplotlib import style
style.use('ggplot')
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk, filedialog
import sys
import json
If anybody has any ideas why cx_Freeze is unable to find scipy please do let me know. I tried to add the filepath to scipy under include_files but it made no difference.
Kind regards,
Jonnyishman
I had exactly the same issue. Found the solution here: https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/issues/43/import-errors-when-using-cx_freeze-with
Find the hooks.py file in cx_freeze folder. Change line 548 from finder.IncludePackage("scipy.lib") to finder.IncludePackage("scipy._lib").
Leave the "scipy" entry in packages and delete 'C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\scipy' in include_files.
