I'm trying to make with Python an EXE/MSI of my script, but in my script I use the library tkinter.tix i use that to create a Balloon tooltip. If i execute the script with the IDLE runs very well, but if i try to make an EXE(auto-py-to-exe) or MSI(cx_Freeze), shows me an error.
I import the module like this:
from tkinter.tix import *
I attach the error in picture.
I appreciate you can help me!!! Thanks...

You need to copy the tix
folder in the Python installed folder into the distributed folder as well.
Below is a sample setup.py
when cx_Freeze
is used:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
# change to the correct path for the tix folder in your system
include_files = [(r'C:\Python38\tcl\tix8.4.3', r'lib\tkinter\tix8.4.3')]
build_exe_options = {
'include_files': include_files,
}
bdist_msi_options = {}
setup(
name='Demo',
version='0.1',
options = {
'build_exe': build_exe_options,
'bdist_msi': bdist_msi_options,
},
executables=[Executable('tix-demo.py', base='Win32GUI')],
)
Then build the MSI by executing the following command:
python3 setup.py bdist_msi
