NAME
cxfreeze - create standalone executables from Python scripts
SYNOPSIS
cxfreeze [options] [SCRIPT]
DESCRIPTION
cxfreeze is an application to freeze Python scripts and all of the
modules their reference into a base executable which can then be
distributed without requiring a Python installation.
OPTIONS
--version
show program’s version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-O optimize generated bytecode as per PYTHONOPTIMIZE; use -OO in
order to remove doc strings
-c, --compress
compress byte code in zip files
--base-name=NAME
file on which to base the target file; if the name of the file
is not an absolute file name, the subdirectory bases (rooted in
the directory in which the freezer is found) will be searched
for a file matching the name
--init-script=NAME
script which will be executed upon startup; if the name of the
file is not an absolute file name, the subdirectory initscripts
(rooted in the directory in which the cx_Freeze package is
found) will be searched for a file matching the name
--target-dir=DIR, --install-dir=DIR
the directory in which to place the target file and any
dependent files
--target-name=NAME
the name of the file to create instead of the base name of the
script and the extension of the base binary
--no-copy-deps
do not copy the dependent files (extensions, shared libraries,
etc.) to the target directory; this also modifies the default
init script to ConsoleKeepPath.py and means that the target
executable requires a Python installation to execute properly
--default-path=DIRS
list of paths separated by the standard path separator for the
platform which will be used to initialize sys.path prior to
running the module finder
--include-path=DIRS
list of paths separated by the standard path separator for the
platform which will be used to modify sys.path prior to running
the module finder
--replace-paths=DIRECTIVES
replace all the paths in modules found in the given paths with
the given replacement string; multiple values are separated by
the standard path separator and each value is of the form
path=replacement_string; path can be * which means all paths not
already specified
--include-modules=NAMES
comma separated list of modules to include
--exclude-modules=NAMES
comma separated list of modules to exclude
--ext-list-file=NAME
name of file in which to place the list of dependent files which
were copied into the target directory
-z SPEC, --zip-include=SPEC
name of file to add to the zip file or a specification of the
form name=arcname which will specify the archive name to use;
multiple --zip-include arguments can be used
