Python py2exe executable attributeerror

I am trying to create an executable for a script I have already written. It will be used by a coworker who doesn't have python on their machine, so I want to create an executable to make their life easier. I'm currently just trying to get py2exe to work and create an executable for a simple script that simply prints hello world and the constant e from the math module (just to get an idea for how py2exe works).
My setup script is as follows:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import math
setup(
console=[{'script':'hello.py'}],
options={
'py2exe':{
'packages' : ['math'],
'bundle_files':1
},
},
version='1.0.0'
)
where hello.py is simply:
import math
print('hello world!')
print(f'Here is e: {math.exp(1)}')
The error comes from this stack after I call "python setup.py py2exe" in cmd
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\setup.py", line 5, in <module>
setup(
File ".\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\setuptools\_distutils\core.py", line 148, in setup

To covert a .py file to .exe you need to install auto-py-to-exe
Windows
pip install auto-py-to-exe
After it is installed, open cmd then type
auto-py-to-exe
Then specify the path of the script and the location where you want to save the .exe file.

py2app ImportError: No module named sip

I have already create an issue in github. But no one reply.
The question is:
I runpython3 setup.py py2app and the error:

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']}

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 :)

py2app failing with Anaconda Python 3

I am trying to build my wxPython application with Python 3 using py2app. Before I updated my code to Python 3, I was able to do this successfully in Python 2.
After fixing a few initial problems (had to sys.setrecursionlimit(2000) and downgrade to Python 3.5), I got stuck here:
Traceback (most recent call last):

/Users/****/anaconda/lib/libpython3.5m.dylib does exist, though. Is there a way to tell MachOGraph how to find this?
I am on OS X 10.12.4, using Anaconda Python 3.5. My version of py2app is 0.13.
This is what my setup.py file looks like:
from setuptools import setup
import sys
import os
directory = os.getcwd()
sys.setrecursionlimit(3000)
APP = ['programs/pmag_gui.py']
DATA_FILES = [('', ['dialogs/help_files', 'pmagpy/data_model', 'programs/images'])]
OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': False,
'iconfile': os.path.join(directory, 'programs', 'images', 'text_x_xslfo.icns')}
setup(
app=APP,
data_files=DATA_FILES,
options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
setup_requires=['py2app'],
)
After reading the Tweaking your Info.plist py2app documentation, and this question, I tried adding to OPTIONS:
'plist': dict(PyRuntimeLocations=['/Users/****/anaconda/lib/libpython3.5m.dylib'])
But I get the same exact error message as before.
Any suggestions on how to solve this, or what documentation to look at?

I had same problem with miniconda and py2app. I could fix it by creating a symlink!
ln -s /path/to/lib/libpython3.5m.dylib /path/to/lib/libpython3.5.dylib

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.
