cx-freeze

I am very new to cx_freeze and I am trying to understand it a bit better, I have this setup.py file: import sys from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable # Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning. build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os"], "excludes": ["tkinter"]} setup( name = "guifoo", version = "0.1", description = "My GUI application!", options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options}, executables = [Executable("mypy.py", base="Console", targetName="hello")]) which if I remove the targetName="hello" it works however when I include it, it doesnt. Would anyone know why?

I'm trying to package a web scraping script (built using scrapy) to run as a standalone application for my boss to use. I built a small desktop GUI using Tkinter that calls my Scrapy spiders through an os.system call. My current build implementation (using cx_Freeze) is below. It successfully packages my program into an .exe that works properly on my machine. However, when I try to port it to another Windows machine and run it, the GUI works but the system calls do not. I figure this is because my current approach requires scrapy to be installed on that machine bc it uses a system call, but I

The program is designed to capture the title bar of the users foreground window and append that title along with the datetime to a log file. When I run this code on my computer it works, however when I run the executable on another computer I get the error you can see below: Python file: from win32gui import GetForegroundWindow, GetWindowText from datetime import datetime from time import sleep from os.path import join log_path = r'C:\Office Viewer\OV_Log.txt' while True: window_name = GetWindowText(GetForegroundWindow()) current_time = datetime.strftime(datetime.now(), '%Y/%m/%d_%H:%M:%S, ')

I have some python code using subprocess.Popen to open a console application and get stdout/stderr from it. Launching from the interpreter works fine and as intended. After using cx_freeze with --base-name Win32GUI option the Popen pops up in a console window now and I can't capture stdout/stderr. If I remove --base-name Win32GUI it works as intended but I now have a console behind the UI. Here is the code (I've tried it without startupinfo and without shell=False ): startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO() startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW startupinfo.wShowWindow =
