cx_freeze-ing

Community matplotlib-users

So, I have a working program that starts like this:

import os
import sys
import numpy as np
from pylab import *
from matplotlib.widgets import Slider
from matplotlib.patches import FancyBboxPatch, Rectangle

but when I cx_freeze it, it complains about some missing backend_ stuff, so,
I do:

import os
import sys
import numpy as np
*import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("TkAgg")
*from pylab import *
from matplotlib.widgets import Slider
from matplotlib.patches import FancyBboxPatch, Rectangle

but the problem continues...

...anybody know how to solve this problem?

I would appreciate very much.

Oh, here is the setup file generated with cx_freeze

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need
# fine tuning.
buildOptions = dict(packages = [], excludes = [])

import sys
base = 'Win32GUI' if sys.platform=='win32' else None

executables = [
    Executable('c.py', base=base)
]

setup(name='Cross-slot-flux',
      version = '1.0',
      description = 'Visual',
      options = dict(build_exe = buildOptions),
      executables = executables)

Hi gsal,

Would you mind sharing a simple example how did you manage to that? I am
trying to freeze a simple code with matplotlib for the past two days with no
success, every time I get the "No module backend_tkagg" message... ;(

Many thanks for help in advance!

I fixed this problem by including the following line in my source code file:

from matplotlib.backends import backend_tkagg
