making a python program executable - py2exe

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}},
windows = [{'script': "single.py"}],
zipfile = None,
)
in this setup file for py2exe where it says single.py is that where I place the name of my program?

I don't know your py2exe tool, but we usually use this way to convert py to exe:
Download and install Standard Python Software:
http://www.python.org/download/
Download PyInstaller via link below:
http://pyinstaller.python-hosting.com/
Unpack the archive, that you have downloaded!
In this examople, the directory of the unpacked files:
In the <UNPACKED_FILES_DIR> directory, run Configure.py.
It must be run before trying to build anything.
Create a spec file for your project:
python Makespec.py -F -p <PYTHON_LIB_PATH> <PYTHON_SCRIPT>
-F: Produce a single file deployment.
-p <PYTHON_LIB_PATH>: Set base path for import (like using PYTHONPATH).
( e.g.: C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\ )
<PYTHON_SCRIPT>: Path to python script.
6 Build your project!
python Build.py <SPECFILE>
<SPECFILE>: Path to the specfile, that have been created in step 4!
The full path to <SPECFILE>:
<UNPACKED_FILES_DIR>/<PYTHON_SCRIPT>/<PYTHON_SCRIPT>.spec
The binary file will be placed in the directory of <SPECFILE>.

If you can restrict your code, then Shed Skin, PyPy, or Cython make true, fast executables.
Py2exe, PyInstaller, or bbfreeze can package Python up to 2.7 into single executables.
Cx_Freeze packages Python up to 3.x into an executable plus many other files.

Yes. Are you making a windowing application or a console application? See the example setup.py files that came with py2exe.

What happens with "pure" Python + Cython packages during installation built failure?

I just read the Cython Pure Python Mode documentation and I'm not sure if I understand it right. It sounds as if I could keep all my Python files as they are, add *.pxd files where I declare Cython types. In the setup.py, I still add
from setuptools import setup
from Cython.Build import cythonize
setup(
ext_modules = cythonize(
"A.py",
compiler_directives={'language_level' : "3"}
)
)
When I run python setup.py build_ext --inplace it actually builds the .so file.
What happens when I create the sdist / bdist, upload them to PyPI and a user does not have a matching platform? They will download the sdist, sure. I guess pip / setuptools will automatically try to compile the extension modules (A.py) and I guess if that works, it is fine. But what if cythonize fails? Will it still install the package and use the pure Python code?
I don't think so. I believe a failure in setup.py aborts installation completely.
You can try to declare an extension optional but there're reports that doesn't really work. Could be an issue with older setuptools.

cx_Freeze Mac-build stopped at _ctypes for Homebrew-and-Python

We use cx_Freeze to produce standalone binary build of our python application under Mac OS. The build runs well under the build machine (which has Homebrew-and-Python installed), but failed in client machine with following error messages.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cx_Freeze/initscripts/__startup__.py", line 14, in run

Expected in: flat namespace
in /Users/gff/src/TextSeek_test/build/test_build/lib/_ctypes.so
By browsing stackoverflow answers about "__PySlice_AdjustIndices" and "flat namespace", we suspect this error was caused by the python conflict between system-default version and homebrew version.
Then we use "brew install python#2" in client machine, and the ctypes error disappeared. We run "brew uninstall python#2", this error returned back.
The question is : how can we embed necessary part of homebrew-python to bypass this ctype error?
We used "otool -L lib/_ctypes.so" to know the depenency of dynamic-linked file, it only showed out one file "/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib". This file seems to have no relation with python.
Any advice to move forward?
Dev Machine Info: Mac High Sierra, python 2.7.15 64bit. Use homebrew-python to build.
setup.py for cx_Freeze :
build_exe_options = {
"packages": ["wcwidth", "watchdog", "xlrd", "jinja2", "subprocess"],
"excludes": [ "AppKit", "Carbon", "CoreFoundation", "Finder", "Foundation", "FSEvents", "objc"],
"include_msvcr": True,
"zip_include_packages":["winshell", "wcwidth", "watchdog", "pyhk", "xlrd", "jinja2",\
"argh", "ctypes", "email", "encodings" ]
}
exeList = [Executable( "utest2.py", base = None, targetName= "utest") ]
setup( name = "XXX",
description = u"XXX desc",
options = {
"build_exe": build_exe_options,
'bdist_mac': {
'bundle_name': "XXX",
}
},
executables = exeList)
I found the solution by myself.
This issue is caused by wrongly linked dylib files. We use "otool -L" to find the dependency and re-link them with "install_name_tool -change" one by one. Finally the program works.
On the client machine, after installation of the frozen application, try to manually copy all dynamic libraries (.so, .dylib, ...?) which are in the lib subdirectory of the build directory into the build directory itself. Copy also all dynamic libraries which are in the build directory into its lib subdirectory. Does this solve the problem? On the build machine, you should of course use the same python version to produce the frozen application than you use to run the unfrozen application.
If 1. solves the problem, find out which dynamic libraries need to be copied in order that the application works (i.e. find out which of the manual copy actions you've done are really necessary). Use the include_files list of the build_exe options in your setup script to let cx_Freeze include the dynamic library automatically at the build step. You can use a tuple (source, destination) as item in the include_files list to let cx_Freeze copy a file from source to a specific destination into the build directory.
Explanation: I don't know Mac/OS. But I believe the issue you describe could be related to a similar issue with Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable DLLs under Windows: cx_Freeze 5.1.1 includes packages in a lib subdirectory of the build directory, in the previous versions of cx_Freeze they used to be in the build directory itself. Some dynamic libraries need to be found in the build directory but are erroneously included in the lib subdirectory by cx_Freeze or vice versa. On the build machine it is usually not a problem, because a copy of the library is usually found in the system path, but on the client machine often no copy of the library can be found on the system path, or an incompatible one.
By the way the build_exe option "include_msvcr": True does not seem to work in cx_Freeze5.1.1, see this issue.

Dynamic Shared Library error when creating exe from cx_freeze

I have a python file using OpenCV library.I want this in as an executable file.
Came across this cx_freeze
Example:
ABC.py(file using opencv library)
Content of setup.py is given below
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup( name = "ABC",
version = "0.1",
description = "Testing",
executables = [Executable("ABC.py")],
)
I ran this command in the terminal
python setup.py install
It is stopping after showing this error message
copying /Users/name/.virtualenvs/test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2.so -> build/exe.macosx-10.12-x86_64-3.6/lib/cv2.so

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/name/.virtualenvs/test/bin/../lib/libopencv_reg.3.3.dylib'
I know from the error message that libopencv_reg.3.3.dylib is not found.
I'm running this on a python virtual environment.
This is my bash_profile content
#Homebrew
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
#export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
# Virtualenv/VirtualenvWrapper
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

#export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python
#export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=/usr/local/bin/virtualenv
#export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV_ARGS='--no-site-packages'
I'm confused please help me out fix this.
Guidance would really be helpful, if this question can be posted else where let me know rather than down voting it.
can you search your filesystem for the missing file? When you find it you can set PERL5LIB or use -I switch to set the location into the perl path
perl library path
Shared the same on OpenCV forum
here's the response I got there
Looks like we have build OpenCV in such a way that other shared objects(.so) files are not dependent.

Python modules not working in IDLE

Working on Automate The Boring Stuff project and having trouble with pyperclip and IDLE. pyperclip is successfully downloaded and works fine in Terminal but when I import pyperclip in IDLE, I get the below error.
UPDATE - This is happening with other modules - anything I've installed in the terminal aren't importing into IDLE.
import pyperclip
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
import pyperclip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip'
I figure I have the module saved in the wrong folder somehow. Below are the sys.path outputs from my Terminal and IDLE.
In terminal:
'/anaconda/bin',
'//anaconda/lib/python36.zip',
'//anaconda/lib/python3.6',
'//anaconda/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload',
'//anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages',
'//anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/Sphinx-1.5.1-py3.6.egg',
'//anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aeosa',
'//anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/IPython/extensions',
'/Users/andrewricardo/.ipython']
In IDLE:
sys.path
['', '/Users/andrewricardo/Documents', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python36.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages']
There are multiple paths here - how do I effectively move the pyperclip module to the correct place?
OR - Is there something else going on here?
Each python installation and uses its own .../lib/site-packages for 3rd party modules, and you have two. If you ran the non-anaconda python in the terminal, the same that is running IDLE, it would have the same problem. Indeed, that python is the source of the ImportErrors.
Option 1: Separately install all packages you want to use with the non-anaconda python (and IDLE) in its own site-package directory. In IDLE Shell, get the path to its executable
>>> import sys; sys.executable
Save are remember the resulting 'python-path'. Then in the terminal, run
python-path -m pip install package-name
for each package.
Option 2 (uses a little known feature of site-package directories): in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages
add a file name, for instance, anaconda.pth, containing one line.
//anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages
(I have no idea why the double / or if it is really needed; I just copied it from your question.) This makes the anaconda python site-packages an extension of the framework python site-packages. Since both are for 3.6, one copy should work for both.
Had this same issue and googled
'why is importing pyperclip in my python file giving an "modulenotfounderror"but working fine in the idle'
and this page came up. then i also checked this [installed Pyperclip, trouble importing to IDLE.
I am new to python, had the same issue using the same book after pip installing pyperclip here's what I did to solve this issue.
I copied the pyperclip-1.7.0-py3.7.egg-info and pyperclip folders from
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages into the C:\Users\USER\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages folders and C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37 folders and it worked. Hope this helps. If it doesn't. Try this code in your text editor because that's what I did using Atom and how i was able to solve it.
import sys
print(sys.executable)
Then copy the pyperclip-1.7.0-py3.7.egg-info and pyperclip folders into the path that the above code gives you.

kmpfit module not in Kapteyn v2.2 module list

I am using Python 2.7 through Anaconda 2.7.8 and need Kapteyn 2.2 to perform Non-linear Least Squares fitting easily (it is probably an alternative to Scipy.optimize.leastsq() for dummies like me!).
After copy-pasting this from a previous post here on Stack Overflow:
conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/dhirschfeld pyodbc
and then running on my cmd (as I did not have pyodbc installed I think, because of which maybe the command prompt on my Windows 7 64-bit system was not responding well to python setup.py install inside the Anaconda directory where I unzipped the Kapteyn .zip file downloaded from University of Groningen website.
But, after the installing pyodbc properly and running python setup.py install, the cmd gave me an error saying error: command 'C:\Users\windows 7\Anaconda\Scripts\gcc.bat' failed with exit status 1. Later, when I tried to import kmpfit module (needed for Non-linear least square fitting with Kapteyn), here is the problem:
import kapteyn
help(kapteyn)

As you can see, there is no module named kmpfit (or even wcs) here. But according to http://www.astro.rug.nl/software/kapteyn/intro.html, these two should be there.
Kindly help. I have never imported any module before.
Thanks in advance...:-)
I just managed to get this working (on Mac OSX, so you may have to adjust this). My steps were:
$ conda install pyodbc (didn't need to go through binstar)
Download & unarchive the kapteyn package, then navigate to its directory
$ python setup.py install, which used my OS's C compiler and Anaconda's python, and installed kapteyn to my anaconda distro's site-packages, as it should.
Check that kmpfit.so is in the kapteyn folder in site-packages, showing that kmpfit installed correctly.
>> from kapteyn import kmpfit failed, ImportError: cannot import name kmpfit. I did some digging and discovered that it was still importing kapteyn from the folder that I downloaded, not from site-packages.
Delete the downloaded kapteyn folder, then try again. It worked!
