ImportError: No module named 'queue' while running my app freezed with cx_freeze

Question

I am using python 3.4. I am able to run my python script without any problem. But While running my freezed python script , following error have appeared. I am able to freeze my script successfully too with cx_freeze.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ImportError: No module named 'queue'

Even tried installing package 'six' with no help. My setup.py is from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable import requests.certs

setup(
name = "utils" ,
version = "0.1" ,
description = " utils for accounts" ,
executables = [Executable("utils.py")],
options = {"build_exe": {"packages": ["urllib", "requests"],"include_files":[(requests.certs.where(),'cacert.pem')]}},

)

script imports following module

import requests
import urllib.request
import uuid
import json
import http.client
from xml.dom import minidom

Any help will be highly appreciated. please see me as novice in python

Answer 1

I had the same issues running on Ubuntu with Python 3.5. It seems that cx_freeze has problems with libraries that import other files or something like that.

Importing Queue together with requests worked for me, so:

import requests
from multiprocessing import Queue

And I don't think specifying urllib in "packages": ["urllib", "requests"] is necessary.

Answer 2

There are Several options based on project packages:

Method1:

Answer: I solve the problem my issue was I had file named queue.py in the same directory

Method2: Queue is in the multiprocessing module so:

from multiprocessing import Queue

Method3: Updating pip from 1.5.6 to 8.1.2

`sudo python -m pip install -U pip`

Reboot system (don't know if necessary, but only after reboot new version of pip was listed) Method4:

from six.moves.queue import Queue //I don't know how u import six package
