cx_freeze exe does not work?

[KipCarter]

if using windows, try py2exe see: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Intermedi...ith-Py2exe
if Linux, pyinstaller
and if OS X, pyapp.

I'm on Python 3.6 and if there is a wheel file I would definitely give it a shot! I haven't seen one as of yet.

Larz60+, I got px2exe installed now I'm trying to figure out how to build my setup file to build my executable file. I would prefer to have this be a single file.

Here is the Python code:

import os
import sys
import subprocess
from socket import *

subprocess.call("cls", shell=True)

theargis = ''

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    theargis +=str(sys.argv[1])

if theargis > '':
    host = theargis
    print ("Using Client Address of: " + theargis)
else:
    host = "53.68.240.47"
    print ("Using Default Address!")

port = 13000
buf = 1024
addr = (host, port)

UDPSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
UDPSock.bind(addr)

print ("Waiting to receive messages...")

while True:
    (data, addr) = UDPSock.recvfrom(buf)
    print ("Production number: " + data.decode("utf-8"))
    if data.decode("utf-8").upper() == "EXIT":
        break

UDPSock.close()
os._exit(0)

But the only example I can find is the tutorial for py2exe which is:

from distutils.core import setup
   import py2exe
   
   setup(console=['hello.py'])

To which I swapped out the 'hello.py' for Receiver.py.

This of course didn't work at all.

Any good references, to help me build the setup file I'd need to convert this py to a single file exe.

Thanks,
Kip...
