So I'm trying to package a python script into an exe that can run on a Windows machine without needing a python install. I'm running WIn7 & my application uses pywin32 & the launcher is a file called console.py which takes in a couple of command line arguments and executes another script
I created a setup.py file upon which I ran python setup.py build, with the following setup file
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(
name = "OneNote Email Notifications",
version = "0.1",
description = "An email notifier for OneNote",
executables = [Executable("console.py")]
)
That returned the following error,
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console3.py", line 2
7, in <module>
exec(code, m.__dict__)
File "console.py", line 1, in <module>

File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line 65, in
_SaveDicts
f = open(os.path.join(GetGeneratePath(), "dicts.dat"), "wb")
File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line 141, in
GetGeneratePath
f = open(fname,"w")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Varun\\Desktop\\My Dro
pbox\\OnePy\\OM\\Notifications v0.2\\build\\exe.win-amd64-3.2\\library.zip\\win3
2com\\gen_py\\__init__.py'
so I figured perhaps there was an issue reading into the zipfile and decided to run build without creating library.zip. So I changed setup.py to
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(
name = "OneNote Email Notifications",
version = "0.1",
description = "An email notifier for OneNote",
options = {"build_exe": {
"create_shared_zip": False,
"append_script_to_exe": True,
"include_in_shared_zip": False,
}
},
executables = [Executable("console.py")]
)
and now I get the following error message:
