ImportError with cx_Freeze and pyinstaller

Question

I was using pyinstaller before to try and get my app with twisted as an executable, but I got this error when executing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
          


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue with cx_freeze. None of the above solutions seemed to work in my case. For me this solution from here worked :

You need to actually create zope/__init__.py as an empty file so that the normal processing performed by imp.find_module() actually works

Answer 2

Add pkg_resources to your includes in your setup.py for cx_Freeze.

Answer 3

Try adding to build_exe_options a specific include of the subpackage i.e. "includes": ["zope.interface"], this should force the inclusion of it.

Answer 4

When I add 'pkg_resources' in includes and run the cx_freeze script, I only get these first two lines and it stays here :

running build

running build_exe
