Python Pmw And Cx_freeze?

I am unable to make an executable from my python program which uses Pmw (Python mega widgets). I use cx_Freeze (through gui backend 'Gui2Exe'). Searching Pmw site I've found that i

Solution 1:

Unfortunately, the original file has some problems with tabs and spaces (just look at the while indentation in expandlinks).

I fixed those indentation problems, changed regsub.gsub with re.sub and eliminated the string import, using the string type methods.

After that the script worked perfect:

   Pmw.py has been created.
   Before running freeze, also copy the following file(s):
   C:\Users\joaquin\Desktop\Pmw.1.3.2\src\Pmw\Pmw_1_3\lib\PmwBlt.py
   C:\Users\joaquin\Desktop\Pmw.1.3.2\src\Pmw\Pmw_1_3\lib\PmwColor.py

Here you have the corrected script:

#!/usr/bin/env python# Helper script when freezing Pmw applications.  It concatenates all# Pmw megawidget files into a single file, 'Pmw.py', in the current# directory.  The script must be called with one argument, being the# path to the 'lib' directory of the required version of Pmw.# To freeze a Pmw application, you will also need to copy the# following files to the application directory before freezing:##    PmwBlt.py PmwColor.pyimport os
import re
import sys
