I started with using cx-freeze with the source file contain only print("hello from cx-freeze"). It worked just fine.
Then, I tried https://gist.github.com/joferkington/9214844 I got the error message. I change my source file to be very simple. I still get TCL_LIBRARY error. I followed suggestion from KeyError: 'TCL_Library' when I use cx_Freeze (Martin Tournoij)
The error is gone. The exe files are created (like 500+ mb). When I run the file, I get the error message.
I check other people question Creating exe file with cx_Freeze, PyQt4, matplotlib and multiple .py files does not work (no answer provided there)
other questions like cx_Freeze help. ImportError
cx-freeze fails to include modules even when included specifically or cx-freeze doesn't find all dependencies
I checked them, but does not seem to apply to my case (at least I don't know how to make it work with what I am doing, if you can please explain more thank you)
This one is similar ImportError: No module named 'queue' while running my app freezed with cx_freeze but the solution was to import multiprocessing (I also tried that too it does not work)
I tried the full option for the setup.py
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import sys
import os.path
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')
base = 'Console'
options = {
'build_exe': {'packages': ["pandas","numpy","scipy","matplotlib"],
'include_files':[
os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, 'DLLs', 'tk86t.dll'),
os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, 'DLLs', 'tcl86t.dll'),
os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, 'Library', 'plugins', 'platforms')
],
},
}
executables = [
Executable('plot2.py', base = base)
]
setup(name = "plot2" ,
version = "0.1" ,
description = "" ,
executables = executables,
options = options
)
I also try less option
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import sys
import os.path
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')
base = 'Console'
options = {
'build_exe': {'packages': ["matplotlib"],
'include_files':[
os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, 'DLLs', 'tcl86t.dll'),
os.path.join(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, 'DLLs', 'tk86t.dll')]
}
}
executables = [
Executable('plot2.py', base = base)
]
setup(name = "plot2" ,
version = "0.1" ,
description = "" ,
executables = executables,
options = options
)
Both are fine. I even have tcl86t.dll and tk86t.dll in my target folder.
Yet both fail when I try to run it. The setup with "less option" give the following error message

Even with https://github.com/anthony-tuininga/cx_Freeze/blob/master/cx_Freeze/samples/matplotlib/setup.py
base = 'Console'
if sys.platform == 'win32':
base = 'Win32GUI'
It still does not work (python setup.py build work, but the program does not run when I double click .exe file).
My code of plot2.py is just reduced to creating jpg file (it run when I did just python plot2.py
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [1,2,3,4,5.5]
y = [3,4,5,6,7.7]
plt.figure()
plt.plot(x,y,'o')
plt.savefig("test.jpg",dpi = 200)
I install python via anaconda. python --version gives
Python 3.6.5 :: Anaconda, Inc.
result. conda list show that my cx-Freeze version is 5.1.1
with
if sys.platform == 'win32':
base = 'Win32GUI'
and add multiprocessor in the packages list it does not work (I think it is not relevant but see other people did (on other application) and it work so I tried, probably wrong). The best I can do is getting this error (picture below) at run time.
error report when click on the exe file
Is there a way to fix this? I have python on ubuntu system too, but did not try yet. I can uninstall python or use other version of python/cx-Freeze if this help. If I need to install other version of python/cx-Freeze please tell me how to do it, too.
Another question here is that is there a way to make the exe file that is smaller. Just create a graph should not be 500+ mb program. Maybe I include the package/file that should be excluded. Please help. Thank you.
