FileNotFoundError when site module is imported

[pbesson-invn]

Hello,

I am working in a virtualenv and I am trying to freeze (with cx_freeze 6.1) an application that uses tensorflow, but encounter the following exception when starting my exe:

Traceback (most recent call last):

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\pbesson\\w\\test_cx_freeze\\build\\exe.win-amd64-3.7\\lib\\library.zip\\orig-prefix.txt'

Is there any workaround to this issue ?

Thanks.

Hi, I have the same error, Did anyone manage to solute it?

[pbesson-invn]

For this particular error, I think it is because virtualenv provides its own site.py.

You can try overwriting the site.py exported in the freezing package by the one from the original python:

# virtual env tweaks site.py causing error when imported in frozen script
# copy original module from python install
site_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(opcode.__file__), 'site.py')
sitebuiltins_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(opcode.__file__), '_sitebuiltins.py')

include_files = [
    (site_path, 'lib/site.py'),
    (sitebuiltins_path, 'lib/_sitebuiltins.py'),
]

I did that without being sure it is the proper fix. Anyhow, I still got other import error I am still trying to workaround...

Still getting the some error, can you please share your setup.py file @pbesson-invn

@puse45 @pbesson-invn cx-freeze is built with Py_NoSiteFlag set to 1 See the implications at: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#c.Py_NoSiteFlag https://docs.python.org/3/library/site.html#site.main
