Building a cx_Freeze exe with Numpy for Python
I am trying to create a basic exe using cx_Freeze. It works for .py programs that don't have numpy, but I can't seem to get one of them correct 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):

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 does not automatically determine what the module should copy numpy.lib.format
. This has already been fixed in the developer release , so if you can try this it should work.
Otherwise, you will need to specify what numpy.lib.format
should be included in your setup.py
. The line will look something like this:
options = {"build_exe": {"packages": ["numpy.lib.format"]}},
See also the documentation .

Numpy seems to confuse cx_Freeze a bit, so you need to declare this explicitly. As stated in the documentation
Here's your solution:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["numpy"]}
setup(
name = "Assignment4_5PythonExe",
version = "0.1",
description = "Sort Methods",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("Assignment4_5.py")]
)
