cx_Freeze converted GUI-app (tkinter) crashes after pressing plot button

Question

I\'ve been dealing with this for days now and hope to find some help. I developed a GUI-application with imported modules tkinter, numpy, scipy, matplotlib, which runs fine

Answer 1

I really wanted to post this as a comment, but I don't have the reputation. This is mostly a followup to J.J. Hakala's answer about how to find the cause.

If one changes the base to "Console", i.e. using

base = "Console"

rather than

base = "Win32GUI"

a console will also pop up when the program starts and this error is printed

Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll.

Which can help finding the cause of the problem pretty faster.

I thought this would be worth mentioning, since this trick can also be helpful to diagnose other problems. In the final release, one can revert back to Win32GUI to avoid the extra console. I should give the credits to this other stackoverflow post
