Question

Hey am relatively new to compiling python scripts to exe. Im using cx_freeze to compile my scripts and once its built i run the exe and it gives me this error. Have google around alot but not too sure. Error is:

Cannot import traceback module.
Exception: No module named re
Original Exception: No module named re

Not too sure how to go about fixing this. I read that possibly there is a clash between a module named re? in python? and a module named re in cx_freeze module?

My setup file looks like:

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

includes = []
includefiles = ['remindersText.pkl']
eggsacutibull = Executable(
    script = "podlancer.py",
    initScript = None,
    base = 'Win32GUI',
    targetName = "podlancer.exe",
    compress = True,
    copyDependentFiles = True,
    appendScriptToExe = False,
    appendScriptToLibrary = False,
    icon = None
    )

setup(
        name = "Podlancer",
        version = "0.1",
        author = 'jono',
        description = "Podlancer UI script",
        options = {"build_exe": {"includes":includes, "include_files": includefiles}},
        executables = [eggsacutibull]
        )

Answer 1

Try to change

includes = []

to

includes = ["re"]

That worked for me
