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
