I recently wrote a library (in Python 3.6) and built a GUI for it using tkinter on Windows 10. The GUI is now finished, and I'm trying to freeze it using cx_Freeze.
The setup script runs perfectly fine (or at least I couldn't spot any error message or warning) and I can get my executable out of it. The problem is, when I run it, I get the following error message:
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\profiler\profiler.py", line 22 in <module>
from tensorflow.core.profiler.tfprof_log_pb2 import OpLogProto
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.core.profiler.tfprof_log_pb2'
The reason why TensorFlow is mentioned here is that my library uses TensorFlow, and of course, so does my GUI. What the entire error message says is that when I'm importing tensorflow (import tensorflow as tf), the program tries to do from tensorflow.python import * and the profiler.py in tensorflow.python.profiler then tried to do the import that causes the error.
I found the file that causes the error, and when I do on IDLE from tensorflow.core.profiler.tfprof_log_pb2 import OpLogProto, it works perfectly fine.
Before reaching to that point, I encountered several similar problems (the cx_Freeze building without displaying any warning or error, but the .exe having some import errors), but I could so far fix them all by myself, mostly by adding them to the list of include_files in the setup script. I tried to do the same for this TensorFlow file, but it didn't work. I also tried including TensorFlow as a package in the setup script, or directly importing it all in my main.py, without success.
My setup.pyis the following (there might be some unnecessary includes with it, since I tried lots of things):
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import os
import sys
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\tcl\\tcl8.6"
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\tcl\\tk8.6"
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
includes = ["tkinter", "_tkinter", "numpy.core._methods", "numpy.lib.format", "tensorflow"]
include_files = ["C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\DLLs\\tcl86t.dll",
"C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\DLLs\\tk86t.dll",
"C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\DLLs\\_tkinter.pyd",
"C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\Lib\\site-packages\\tensorflow\\core\\profiler\\tfprof_log_pb2.py",
"C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\Lib\\site-packages\\tensorflow\\python\\profiler\\profiler.py",
"C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\Lib\\site-packages\\tensorflow\\include\\tensorflow\\core\\profiler\\tfprof_log.pb.h"]
packages = []
setup(name = "Ap'Pear",
version = "0.1",
description = "Test executable",
options = {"build_exe": { "includes": includes, "include_files": include_files, "packages": packages}},
executables = [Executable(script = "main.py", targetName = "Ap'Pear.exe", base = base, icon = "images/icon.ico")],
)
I tried rebuilding TensorFlow and its dependencies from scratch, but it didn't solve anything either.
Thanks in advance!
I was able to resolve this problem by creating a blank __init__.py file in \path\to\python\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow\core\profiler. I am running python 3.5.2 and TensorFlow 1.5.0 so this solution may be specific to my installations.

Some initial information:
I have windows 10 on my computer and all programs are 64-bit versions.
I'm writting a game in python (3.6.1) using tkinter and now I would like to convert it to .exe. I have used cx_freeze (5.0.1) and it made the build, but when I try to open the game a window opens and then closes immediately. Therefore I tried to open it via cmd and the following error pops up:
File "sliks.py", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Users\Tinka\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I have checked tkinter support as it says here:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter
and no error occurs.
Also I have tried to install tk-dev with pip as it says in some answers on this subject but nothing happens as I get this message:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install tk-dev
Collecting tk-dev
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tk-dev (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tk-dev
I never had any python 2.x on my computer so there are no mixed up libraries as in this case: ImportError DLL load failed importing _tkinter
Here is my setup.py file I have used for cx_freeze in case there is something wrong with that:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import os
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\Users\Tinka\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\tcl\tcl8.6'
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\Users\Tinka\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\tcl\tk8.6'
base = None
setup(
name = "Six",
version = "0.1",
options = {"build_exe": {"packages": ["tkinter"]}},
executables = [Executable("sliks.py", base=base)]
)
Any ideas what could be the problem? I know there are many opened questions on this subject, but I have tried most of the solutions and had no luck.
I had to scour pretty hard to figure this one out for myself. Not sure if this helps anyone but it worked for me.
From what I understand these errors are generated when cx_freeze either cannot find all the dependencies or is grabbing incorrect ones.
First thing I did was to drill down into my python directory. Be VERY careful here and ensure you are looking where your python code is executing. Your IDE may give you this path if you do not know it. In cases of multiple installations or environments you may be off.
Once in there I identified which file was causing the error. For my situation it was a tkinter dependency. tcl86.dll and tk86.dll were the problem. You can see the lines I added. Then my logo actually started doing it so I had to add that. Now it works great. Here is a sample of my setup.py file (cx_freeze config).
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import sys
import os
includes = []
include_files = [r"C:\Users\Ace\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\DLLs\tcl86t.dll",
r"C:\Users\Ace\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\DLLs\tk86t.dll",
r"C:\Users\Ace\Desktop\IPNV\KP_App\FML\logo1.gif"]
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\Users\Ace\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\tcl\tcl8.6'
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = r'C:\Users\Ace\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\tcl\tk8.6'
base = 'Win32GUI' if sys.platform == 'win32' else None
setup(name='KpApp', version='0.9', description='KP Report App',
options={"build_exe": {"includes": includes, "include_files": include_files}},
executables=[Executable(r'C:\Users\Ace\Desktop\IPNV\KP_App\FML\firstapp.py', base=base)])
I have a .py file that I am trying to convert into an exe. I have tried numerous tries to build this file using cx_Freeze, but I keep getting the same error every time.
I've heard that it's got something to do with cx_Freeze, so I uninstalled cx_Freeze and reinstalled it using pip install cx_freezexxxx.whl wheel, but that still didn't work. I build my exe by writing python setup.py build in command line. Here's my setup .py code.
import cx_Freeze
import sys
import os
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Users\\louisa\\tcl\\tcl8.6"
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\Users\\louisa\\tcl\\tk8.6"
base = None
if sys.platform == 'win32':
base = "Win32GUI"
executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("filemakergui.py", base=base, icon="Treetog-I-Documents.ico")]
cx_Freeze.setup(
name = "ALT File Maker",
options = {"build_exe": {"packages":["tkinter"], "include_files":["Treetog-I-Documents.ico", "Hopstarter-Sleek-Xp-Basic-Help.ico", "Custom-Icon-Design-Flatastic-2-Success.ico"]}},
version = "0.01",
description = "ALT File Maker",
executables = executables
)
Is there anything wrong with what I've written in my setup.py file? I've been stuck on this problem for several days now. Any tips on resolving an issue like this?
I am using python 3.5.1 and the unofficial cx_freeze 5.0 build available from here. I am trying to create an executable version of a python project using tkinter and sympy that I've been working on. I used cxfreeze-quickstart to create a setup.py file for the program, and in terms of building what at least seems to be a valid executable, it works without throwing any errors. However, when I try to run the executable, nothing happens. I know similar questions have been asked on here and I've looked at and tried to understand every one I've found, but none of the solutions have worked for me. I don't understand what's going on, and any help would be appreciated. Code below:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need
# fine tuning.
buildOptions = dict(packages = [], excludes = [])
import sys
base = 'Win32GUI' if sys.platform=='win32' else None
executables = [
Executable('c:\\users\\joe\\pycharmprojects\\physics2-0\\physics2-0.py', base=base,
targetName = 'c:\\users\\joe\\pycharmprojects\\physics2-0\\physics.exe')
]
setup(name='physics solver',
version = '0.1',
description = 'alpha physics solver',
options = dict(build_exe = buildOptions),
executables = executables)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I am now attempting to write the setup.py script myself according to the template provided in the docs, although any help would still be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE 2: I wrote my own setup.py according to the template provided in the docs, and put it in the same folder as the script I want to freeze, something I hadn't realized I needed to do. I ran python setup.py build in command line, and it created the build subdirectory with the exe and DLLs. However, now when I try and run the exe, an error message pops up that says ImportError: DLL load failed. The specified module could not be found. in reference to tkinter. The code for the 2nd setup.py is below.
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["tkinter", "sympy", "_tkinter"], "excludes": []}
# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a
# console application).
base = None
if sys.platform == 'win32':
base = "Win32GUI"
setup( name = "physics solver",
version = "0.1",
description = "a basic physics solver",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("Physics2-0.py", base=base)])
Below are the first 4 lines of physics2-0.py. The line brought into question by the error message is line 1.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from sympy import Symbol
from sympy.solvers import solve
UPDATE 3: Someone please help me out here. I can't figure this out. I've even done a clean re-install of python at this point, just to be sure I didn't accidentally mess something up at some point, and it's still giving me the same error message.
I want to make a self-contained .exe file.
I have managed to use cx_Freeze to build one that works on my machine, but it is throwing an error about needing the .dlls when I sent it to someone. I read a few of the similar questions, which is how I ended up including packages in the build options.
I suspect that once I get past this particular problem, I will end up needing to include other stuff in the .exe....any help getting around that pitfall is appreciated! The end user needs to be able to only use the .exe and not have to install other files.
Here is my current setup.py:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
base = None
if sys.platform == 'win32':
base = 'Win32GUI'
build_options = {"includes" : [ "re", "atexit"], "packages": ["PyQt4.QtCore", "PyQt4.QtGui"]}
setup( name = "Hex Script Combination",
version = "0.1",
description = "Contact (info) with questions",
options = {"build_exe" : build_options},
executables = [Executable("Project.py", base=base)])
ETA:
I tried IExpress, and I'm running into this error:
(Picture uploaded but for some reason, neither picture in this post is showing)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console.py", line 26, in <module>
code = importer.get_code(moduleName)
ZipImportError: can't find module 'projec~1__main__'
I did NOT find a way to do exactly what I wanted. I did, however, discover that I was getting an installer I wasn't aware of for distribution that did install everything that was in my exe directory.
File path was ~\dist, and it contained only an .msi file. Launching it installed everything that was in ~\build\exe.win32-2.7
I'm a newbie to cx_Freeze and I need some help. I'm writing an application with python 3.3, pyqt4 and some more libraries (scipy, numpy, matplotlib, dxfwrite). Now I'm trying to freeze the application with cx_Freeze under windows7. I'm using cx_Freeze-4.3.2.win-amd64-py3.3 and the following setup.py for cx_Freeze:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os"], "excludes": ["tkinter"] }
setup(
name = "Barrel Cam Editor",
version = "0.2.0",
description = "An editor for Barrel Cams",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("barrelcameditor.py", base = "Win32GUI")])
I run the command python setup.py build and it seems to work but when I launch the obtained exe I get an Importerror: DLL load failed.
I really do not know how to solve this problem. any help?
Tnx
PS:
Thank you for your help, it was a problem with scipy.linalg. I switched to numpy.linalg and it seems to work. Now I've another little problem: I was importing a custom package:
from barrelcam import camdata, camdlg, camwidget
but in this way it is not working.
I found a workaround: I moved the files to the barrelcameditor folder and it seems to work, changing the import to
import camdata, camdlg, camwidget
There is a way to keep the original position of files?
Thank you
