I started using Gtk3 with Python. I have one question: how I could make an executable windows file from my gtk3 python source using pyinstaller, cx_freeze or py2exe? I tried a lot of answers from stack overflow and many other web pages, but none worked.
I tried to make it with pyinstaller (I think it could be the easiest way) and my source code looks like:
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
class ButtonWindow(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="Button Demo")
self.set_border_width(10)
hbox = Gtk.Box(spacing=6)
self.add(hbox)
button = Gtk.Button.new_with_label("Click Me")
button.connect("clicked", self.on_click_me_clicked)
hbox.pack_start(button, True, True, 0)
button = Gtk.Button.new_with_mnemonic("_Open")
button.connect("clicked", self.on_open_clicked)
hbox.pack_start(button, True, True, 0)
button = Gtk.Button.new_with_mnemonic("_Close")
button.connect("clicked", self.on_close_clicked)
hbox.pack_start(button, True, True, 0)
def on_click_me_clicked(self, button):
print("\"Click me\" button was clicked")
def on_open_clicked(self, button):
print("\"Open\" button was clicked")
def on_close_clicked(self, button):
print("Closing application")
Gtk.main_quit()
win = ButtonWindow()
win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all()
Gtk.main()
but I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 2, in
File "c:\python34\lib\gi\__init__.py", line 102, in require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Gtk not available
gtk returned -1
What shall I do with this or can you please explain me how to make an executable in py2exe or cx_freeze?
Please help me! Thanks!

Install cx_Freeze
You should just be able to do pip install cx_Freeze on windows. Or you could go to there official website http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/
Create a setup.py file in the same folder as your program.
setup.py:
import cx_Freeze
executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("file.py")]
cx_Freeze.setup(
name="WhatEverYouWantToNameIt",
options={"build_exe": {"packages":["gi"]}},
executables = executables
)
Open command prompt in the file location of your program. On windows you should just have to shift + left-click the folder and click open command window here. Once that opens up type python setup.py build. If you get an error stating that Python is not in your path, then give the full path. For example, on Windows, with Python 3.4, you would do:
C:/Python34/python setup.py build
If you're on a mac, then you would do:
python setup.py bdist_dmg
Once it's done come back an tell me if it woks. If it doesn't work just give me the errror message and I'll fix the problem. Good luck!
