I'm new to cx_Freeze and need to deploy a Tkinter app (python 2.7.11) as executable on several OS. I successfully deployed my app on Windows, working on 7 and 10 without python installed.
Now I'm struggling with Linux deployment. I successfully built the app, even though the logs give me quite a lot of "Missing modules" :

And then, when I try executing the app on my environment, it works perfectly fine. However, if I run it on another environment, I get this :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cx_Freeze-4.3.4-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/cx_Freeze/initscripts/Console.py", line 27, in <module>

Now, here is my setup file :
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import requests
import sys
# Add certificate to the build
options = {
"build_exe": {
'include_files' : [(requests.certs.where(), 'cacert.pem')],
"includes" : ["Tkinter", "PIL"],
"packages": ["os", "PIL"]
}
}
# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a
# console application).
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
executable = Executable( script = "main.py", base=base )
setup(
version = "0",
requires = ["requests"],
options = options,
executables = [executable]
)
It is something I found on the internet, with a few modifications after some other internet researches.
And finally, here are the imports made in the original python script :
from Tkinter import *
import serial
import threading as Threading
import Queue as queue
import glob
import time
import itertools
import platform
from Foobot_Driver import Foobot
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import requests
from StringIO import StringIO
import json
import exceptions
from netifaces import interfaces, ifaddresses, AF_INET,AF_LINK
import itertools
import os.path, time, datetime
from pprint import pprint
import sys
So I tried a couple of solutions, that didn't work out for me, and I'm quite desperate now. If you know anything that could help me, it'd be great. Thanks in advance.
