Error while trying to compile Python script to exe

I'm trying to compile python script to exe.
My script - hello.py:
print("hello")
My setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(
name = 'hello',
description = 'hello script',
version = '1.0',
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1, 'compressed': True,'dist_dir': ".",'dll_excludes':['w9xpopen.exe']}},
console = [{'script': r"hello.py"}],
zipfile = None,
)
I run:
py -3 setup.py install
The error:
py -3 setup.py install

Do you know how to resolve this error?

py2exe seems to support up to Python 3.4 (thanks Michael Butscher)
However, there are other libraries such as Pyinstaller which work just fine, and are compatible with a variety of Python versions (from Python 2.7 to 3.5+)
Check it out, it's actually really easy :)

Value error '/anaconda3/lib/libpython3.7.dylib' does not exist?

so I've created a virtual environment in my iterm2 window. this is the ques I asked earlier which has not been solved yet and my app is not running is alias modeso i tried to do the whole process again but it was showing error with plistlib so that was fixed by this answer I tried this whole process again which means I did this all this before but my app was not working so i deleted my py2app and some venv's got deleted to I downloaded miniconda3 again and then it was working until it comes to running the app even in alias mode . but I continued and deleted the dist and build and when I executed
python setup.py py2app but then i got this error

please help me with this problem
Thank You!

This problem can often be fixed by creating a symlink, see here for more.
ln -s /path/to/lib/libpython3.7m.dylib /path/to/lib/libpython3.7.dylib
For the above command replace it with your own path.

error when installing numpy for pypy2.2.1

I am trying to use pypy. My python scripts are using numpy. So when I used pypy 1.9.0 it showed me this:
"The 'numpy' module of PyPy is in-development and not complete. "
ImportError: The '`numpy' module` of PyPy is in-development and not complete. To try it out anyway, you can either import from 'numpypy', or just write 'import numpypy' first in your program and then import from 'numpy' as usual.
So I used import numpypy and then ran my script. I got this error:
File "customecode.py", line 97, in dist_new
dlat = radians(p2[..., 0] - p1[..., 0])
TypeError: expected integer, got Ellipsis object
I couldn't find anything on this kind of error. Although script is running fine when I use python. So my guess is that may be pypy still don't support everything which is there on numpy.
I found this link on pypy-numpy update. So I install pypy 2.2.1
http://morepypy.blogspot.in/2013/11/numpy-status-update.html
In this link following instructions are given for installing numpy for pypy:
git clone https://bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy.git
cd numpy
pypy setup.py install
after running pypy setup.py installI got this type error:

I want to use pypy 2.2.1 with whatever development of numpy provided there. Any help with the installation of numpy for pypy is appreciated.

In PyPy 2.2.1, the file lib-python/2.7/distutils/ccompiler.py does not contain any function called customize_compiler() and line 44 is not like that. My guess is that your version of PyPy's standard library has been tweaked by your Linux distribution in a way that makes it crash in your particular case.
I can only suggest that you try to get the "official" PyPy 2.2.1 and compare the results.

Creating an executable from a python GUI using py2exe

I have a .py file that creates a GUI, which runs another script once I give it some information. I'm trying to make a .exe file from this GUI file using py2exe, but I've been having trouble.
Exception: Seems not to be an exe-file
If anyone who has experience with py2exe and has encountered this message before, could you explain to me why it's not working, and what I could do to fix it? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: My setup.py looks like this:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=['test_gui.py'])
I run this code through the command prompt like this:
python setup.py py2exe
And the traceback is as follows:

How to install django-utils?

I tried installing django-utils from source code from github and using pip. The installation goes fine however the queue_command does not work within my django app.
So as suggested in the docs, I tried running `python setup.py test' and I get the following error. I have not idea how to fix this. I am running from within virtualenv on mac snow leopard.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'sqlite3' isn't an available database backend.
Try using django.db.backends.sqlite3 instead.
Error was: No module named base

What version of Django are you running? 1.3 deprecated the old-style way of specifying databases, for example, using just 'sqlite3'. You now must specify the entire import path, i.e. django.db.backends.sqlite3.
However, I was pretty sure that 1.3 still let you use the old-style way and simply fussed at you, warning that it's deprecated. Perhaps I was wrong though. If you're running off trunk, then, it's almost certainly fully deprecated, which makes that error a little more understandable.
The long and short is that since the last update of django-utils was back in 2009, it's effectively dead, and Django has moved on.

Open your settings.py
Replace 'ENGINE': 'sqlite3', with 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
Save
Try again.
