I am having trouble with creating an executable for my python program with cx_freeze.I am on windows (XP) and my program uses Tkinter, Pygame (and random) and is coded in python 3.2. I have tried creating a distils and running from command prompt:
cxfreeze --target-dir dist On both I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 117, in <module> try: import pygame.display File "ExtensionLoader_pygame_display.py", line 12, in <module> File "ExtensionLoader_pygame_surface.py", line 12, in <module> ImportError: No module named _view During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console3.py", line 2 7, in <module> exec(code, m.__dict__) File "BallGame.pyw", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 118, in <module> except (ImportError,IOError):display=MissingModule("display", geterror(), 1) File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 61, in __init__ self.warn() File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 85, in warn warnings.warn(message, RuntimeWarning, level) File "C:\Python32\lib\warnings.py", line 18, in showwarning file.write(formatwarning(message, category, filename, lineno, line)) File "C:\Python32\lib\warnings.py", line 25, in formatwarning line = linecache.getline(filename, lineno) if line is None else line File "C:\Python32\lib\linecache.py", line 15, in getline lines = getlines(filename, module_globals) File "C:\Python32\lib\linecache.py", line 41, in getlines return updatecache(filename, module_globals) File "C:\Python32\lib\linecache.py", line 127, in updatecache lines = fp.readlines() File "C:\Python32\lib\codecs.py", line 300, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 2: invalid s tart byte Please could you tell me how to fix it, or recommend a different piece of software to turn my python script into executables. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
