Bundling with cx_freeze

[Jerry Prawiharjo]

Hi all,

 

I'm having difficulty now trying to bundle my application with cx_freeze.

 

I'm using winpython, and installed pyqtgraph to the folder.

 

Here is my cx_freeze script:

 

import sys

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.

build_exe_options = {"excludes": ["tkinter","cvxopt","PySide","matplotlib"],

"packages":["PyQt4.QtGui","PyQt4.QtCore","atexit",'pyqtgraph'],"include_msvcr":True,

'compressed':True,'copy_dependent_files':True,'create_shared_zip':True,

'include_in_shared_zip':True,'optimize':2}

# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a

# console application).

base = None

if sys.platform == "win32":

base = "Win32GUI"

I included the error in the attachment.

 

Thank  you very much for your help.

Hi Jerry,

The error message seems to be related to the dynamic imports used in version 0.9.8. The latest develop branch on github has done away with dynamic imports, so perhaps you could try that instead?

Hi Luke,

 

Thank you for your response. I'm trying the develop version on GitHub now. At the moment, the cx_freeze spits out error such as :

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

    main()

It seems that it still cannot find some dependencies from pyqtgraph. I'll try around with path include in cx_freeze if I can solve this issue.

Hi Luke,

 

It's now working, so I can bundle pyqtgraph using cx_freeze.

 

Thanks for your help.

Great news, Jerry!

Would you be willing to share your insights with us, or perhaps write up a simple example using cx_freeze that highlights the solutions you came up with?

Hi Luke,

 

I used the github's development version, and here is my cx_freeze script:

I basically get the py2exe script example from GitHub folder, and modified it for cx_freeze

includes = ['PyQt4.QtCore', 'PyQt4.QtGui', 'sip', 'pyqtgraph.graphicsItems','numpy',"atexit"]

excludes = ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'email', 'pywin.debugger',"cvxopt",

'pywin.debugger.dbgcon', 'pywin.dialogs', 'tcl','tables',

'Tkconstants', 'Tkinter', 'zmq','PySide','pysideuic','scipy','matplotlib']

 

if sys.version[0] == '2':

# causes syntax error on py2

excludes.append('PyQt4.uic.port_v3')

base = None

if sys.platform == "win32":

base = "Win32GUI"

build_exe_options = {"excludes": excludes,

"includes":includes,"include_msvcr":True,

'compressed':True,'copy_dependent_files':True,'create_shared_zip':True,

'include_in_shared_zip':True,'optimize':2}

setup( name = "Test Software",

version = "0.1",

description = "uITLA test software",

options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},

executables = [Executable("uITLATCscanQ.py", base=base)])

Thanks! I'll add this to the examples.
