I am trying to use cx-freeze to create a static self-contained distribution of my app (The Spye Python Engine, www.spye.dk), however, when I run cx-freeze, it says:
I guess, you can not simply += on lists.
You should probably use the list method extend - otherwise the original list will not be modified:
includes.extend(["BaseHTTPServer", ""])
EDIT: (Thank @ThomasK)
+= works fine - I only had an online Python interpreter that did not work correctly. (I have no python install on my Windows installation so I had to check online).
