Deployment with cx_freeze?

[Dominik Schacht]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create an executable of my doit using project with
cx_Freeze (Python 3.3) to allow easier windows deployment. The problem
I'm now encountering is that the resulting doit-executable crashes
with this stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/dominik/coding/uristmap/lib/python3.3/site-packages/cx_Freeze/initscripts/Console.py",
line 27, in <module>

line 626, in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: doit==0.26.0

You can view the cx_setup.py file here: http://pastebin.com/1ZsERVrr .
I tried the genstandalone.py to create the doit executable but I only
get a file that does nothing at all from that script. Has anyone here
an idea how to properly handle this or a recommandation for a better
way?

I am not familiar with cx_freeze. bin/doit is created by setuptools.

Not sure the 2 can work together... it seems to be a problem between them.

doit code didnt even started to be executed.

True. It looks like genstandalone is broken.

The genscript is actually from py.test, it seems there was some changes there...

I have no idea how to debug this. I will try to check later.

cheers,

Thanks for your response, Eduardo. I tinkered around with it a bit
more and decided to go the easiest way and just work around that
problem. I copied the doit/__main__.py file into my workspace and now
use that as the executable for cx_Freeze. My early tests show that it
apparently works so I hope that's that.
