Hello world example for py2exe giving strange error


I have a file named "mini.py" with the following contents:

print("hello worlds")

If I run pip install py2exe --upgrade I get:

Requirement already up-to-date: py2exe in c:\python37\lib\site-packages (0.9.2.2)

If I run build_exe mini.py I get:

IndexError: tuple index out of range

Anyone has any idea what could be causing this?


Solution

  • Indeed, a duplicate of Python - IndexError: tuple index out of range when using py2exe

    Py2exe 0.9.2.2 works with Python up to 3.4, and the development stoped there.

    For Python 3.7 there is a project in GithUb porting Py2Exe, that works fine. https://github.com/albertosottile/py2exe
