Getting an odd error trying to compile a Python Executable

I'm attempting to use Py2exe to create a Python executable out of my program. The program definitely works and I've made sure all the libraries it uses are up to date, but when I attempt to run the command "python setup.py py2exe" to finish it up, I get an error I'm unfamiliar with.
The full output is below:

It's seems like qt relative. But I didn't used qt, I just use the tkinter...
The detail log is long, I create an attach. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4pcc9zv7dgoq37j/log.txt?dl=0
How to fix this?

Try adding the packages to your options in the setup file, like this:
OPTIONS = {
'argv_emulation': True,
'packages':['tkinter']}

Error while trying to compile Python script to exe

I'm trying to compile python script to exe.

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 :)

cx_Freeze: cannot find file/directory icon.gif

I am using cx_Freeze with Python 3.4.1 and I am trying to create an application from one of my Python programs. Unfortunately, I get this error after running the setup.py build:
cx_Freeze.freezer.ConfigError: cannot find file/directory named icon.gif
Here is my setup file:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32" : base = "Win32GUI"
opts = {"include_files": ['icon.gif', "EndingsPerfect.txt", "EndingsPPP.txt", "LatinEnglishPronouns.txt", "1stConj/", "2ndConj/", "3rdConj/", "4thConj/"], "includes": ["re"]}
setup(name = "LT",
version = "1.0",
description = "Latin verbs",
author = "Laurence vS",
options = {"build_exe": opts},
executables = [Executable("latintranslatewithguipyw.pyw", base = base)])
This error confuses me since the icon.gif file is in the same folder as the setup file.
Here is the full traceback:

Any help would be appreciated.

Reposting as an answer:
Relative path names are found relative to where you run from, not where the the setup.py script is. Use cd in the terminal to change to the directory where setup.py is, and then run python setup.py build.
If that's not practical for some reason, you could use os.chdir() inside the setup.py script.

Cython AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'declare'

I tried running it on a simple .pyx file helloworld:
def say_hello_to(name):
print "Hello %s!" %name
with the setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
setup(
name = 'Hello world app',
cmdclass = {'build_ext': build_ext},
ext_modules = [Extension("hello", ["hello.pyx"])]
)
It already worked several times, something has changed but as I Googled and searched the issue I couldn't find any information. I'm using Python 2.7 64 bits, latest version of Cython and to compile the file I use Windows SDK C/C++ compiler and prepare the environment by running:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0>set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0>setenv /x64 /release
Any ideas of what might have happened? Tnx in advance!

I got the same error when running from a python script:
os.system("python setup.py build_ext --inplace")
while
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
worked from command promt.
The reason was that the name of my test package was "cython"... stupid me

I have had the same error.
Worked on it for one whole day until I have realized that I have followed some blog entry to create a cython.py file in my directory holding some information how to compile.
I do not recall where I found this but by removing this file everything works fine

I'm not sure this helps, but when I got this error I deleted all .pyc files and ran the script again via IDLE (opened in IDLE and clicked F5) and then it worked just fine.
