Cx_freeze error lost sys.stdin
cx-freeze, python-3.x
Solution
The `Win32GUI` base is designed for Windows GUI programs - i.e. they run in windows, not at a command prompt. So there's no stdin, and you can't use `input()`.
If you want to create a console program, set `base='Console'` (or `base=None`, since Console is the default).
Problem
This is a problem that has been bothering me for a while. I have looked it up, but found no answer. I have also tried figuring it out myself, but have not succeeded. Whenever I create and try to freeze a program with the `input()` function in it I get the same error. I have tried running the `.exe` in command prompt but I get the same error. My `setup.py` script is below. ``` import cx_Freeze, sys from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable exe=Executable( script="input.py", base="Win32Gui", ) includefiles=[] includes=["re"] excludes=[] packages=[] setup( version = "0", description = "No Description", author = "Anthony", name = "0", options = {'build_exe': {'excludes':excludes,'packages':packages,'include_files':includefiles}}, executables = [exe] ) ``` And my short test script: ``` import sys,re input('input') ``` Is this a problem I can fix, or do I just have to work without the `input()` function? I am using Python 3.2, on windows seven, with the corresponding cx_freeze version. Thanks in advance.
