How do I fix an Error when Freezing Python 3.7 Script using cx_Freeze










3














I am trying to create a standalone executable with my python script using cx_Freeze.
This is the error I am getting: error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Program Files\Python37\tcl\tcl8.6'



Does this have anything to do with using a module such as PySimpleGUI? I am using PySimpleGUI 3.1.2.



How do I fix this?



Here is my code (setup.py and Track_Companion.py).



Note: Track_Companion.py is not yet finished.

  • The only way I've created an EXE using PySimpleGUI is by using PyInstaller as shown in the readme. Side note... I would upgrade your PySimpleGUI. It's at 3.14.0 now.

Instructions for making .EXE files from programs using PySimpleGUI can be found in the docs here.



To create the .EXE:




pyinstaller -wF yoursourcefile.py




I would upgrade your PySimpleGUI package prior to doing it.

    1. cx_Freeze does not yet support Python 3.7, it has a bug. A bugfix exists but has not yet been released, however you can apply it manually, see What could be the reason for fatal python error:initfsencoding:unable to load the file system codec? and Cx_freeze crashing Python3.7.0. Or you can rollback to Python 3.6 if this is an option for you.

    2. Have you checked that C:\Program Files\Python37\tcl\tcl8.6 exists? It would anyway be better to let your setup script dynamically determine you Python installation directory using PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.__file__)) as done in this answer.

    3. You need to tell cx_Freeze to include the Tcl and Tk DLLs using the build_exe option include_files as done in the same answer; if you are using cx_Freeze 5.1.1 or 5.1.0, you need to do it slightly differently, see this answer.
