Problem with cx_freeze / FreezePython

[Kevin Walzer]

I am trying to build a simple "hello.py" script with cx_freeze, but am
not having any luck. Every time I run the FreezePython utility I get
this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/Users/kevin/Desktop/cx_Freeze-3.0.2/initscripts/ConsoleKeepPath.py",

I've seen a similar error reported before, but no solution.

This may be related to my setup, which is non-standard. I've built
cx_freeze on Mac OS X (Darwin) using the "universal binary"
dual-architecture structure (PPC/i386) of the Mac. I had to hack the
setup files to get cx_freeze to build. (I'm using cx_freeze instead of
the standard Mac build tool py2app because I'm using a normal Unix build
of Python that links against X11 Tkinter.)

Any advice is appreciated.

Maybe cx_Freeze was not able to find a shared library needed by struct.so
because it is not a pure python module.

Can you post the "hello.py" you are trying to build ?
