how do i make a setup.py file for cx_freeze?

Question

I keep trying and nothing I do seems to work. my code is

import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

setup(
    name = "Countdown",
    version = "3.1",
    description = "A simple countdown program.",
    executables = [Executable("countdown.py", base = "Win32GUI")])

it will build the executable, but when i run it, i get an error when it comes to my input() line and says lost sys.stdin help?

Answer 1

The Win32GUI base doesn't use a console, so it doesn't have any sys.stdin to read from.

If you're calling input(), you probably want to use the Console base for your application.
