There are example to build executable using one py file(module) as given here I have about 4 py files(modules), I would like to build executable which should include all the py files.

How to build python executable when we have more then one python modules ?

Example from here

    from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

setup(
        name = "hello",
        version = "0.1",
        description = "the typical 'Hello, world!' script",
        executables = [Executable("hello.py")])

This has hello.py if I have two files like hello1.py and hello2.py ?

Thanks

  • Are the different Python files separate scripts that should each have an exe, or are they one script that is run and several modules that are imported? – Thomas K Feb 05 '16 at 10:43

If your hello.pyfile import those files - hello1.py and hello2.py, then this line:

executables = [Executable("hello.py")])

is quite enough.

But if any of those files are separate script file, then you should do like this:

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

setup(
        name = "hello",
        version = "0.1",
        description = "the typical 'Hello, world!' script",
        executables = [Executable("hello.py"), Executable("hello1.py"), Executable("hello2.py")]
)

It will create 3 .exe files, for each one of your scripts.
