Creating cx_Freeze exe with Numpy for Python
cx-freeze, numpy, python
Solution
This is a bug in cx_Freeze - it doesn't automatically detect that it should copy the module `numpy.lib.format`. It's already fixed in the development version, so if you're in a position to try that, it should work.
Otherwise, you'll need to specify that `numpy.lib.format` needs to be included in your `setup.py`. The line will look something like this:
options = {"build_exe": {"packages": ["numpy.lib.format"]}},
See also the documentation.
Problem
Im trying to create a basic exe using cx_Freeze. It works for .py programs that don't have numpy but I can't get one made correctly with numpy. *Any ideas on how to fix this? is there something i need to include in my setup.py? When I go to run the exe it says: ``` c:\Python32\Scripts\dist>Assignment4_5.exe 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 "c:\Python32\Assignment4_5.py", line 6, in <module> import numpy as np File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 137, in <module> from . import add_newdocs File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 9, in <module> from numpy.lib import add_newdoc File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 17, in <modul e> from .npyio import * File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\npyio.py", line 6, in <module> from . import format ImportError: cannot import name format c:\Python32\Scripts\dist> ``` Setup.py: ``` from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable includeDependencies = [] setup( name = "Assignment4_5PythonExe", version = "0.1", description = "Sort Methods", executables = [Executable("Assignment4_5.py")] ) ```
