AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'?

Question

I am trying to make a script executable with py2exe.

Here is my setup.py code:

import cx_Freeze

executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("Email.py")]

cx_Freeze.setup(
    name="Email",
    options={"build_exe": {"packages":["pygame"],
                           "include_files":["aura.png"]}},
    executables = executables

    )

And I run this from my cmd and here is the execution:

G:\Grade 12 Project>python setup.py build running build running build_exe creating directory build\exe.win32-2.7 copying C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\bases\Console.exe -> build\exe.win32-2.7\Email.exe copying C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\python27.dll

    parts = version.split(".") AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Also in my build folder , when I run Email.exe, I get this error:

ImportError: No module named __startup__

I think you have to provide version number also. It is trying to split "x.x.x" type of string but since you haven't provided it, it's throwing error. — Mohammad Yusuf, Dec 07 '16 at 08:24
Inside the setup function. Check this: http://cx-freeze.readthedocs.io/en/latest/distutils.html — Mohammad Yusuf, Dec 07 '16 at 08:29

As @Mohammad Yusuf Ghazi said, you need to pass a version='x.y.z' parameter into the setup call, e.g:

cx_Freeze.setup(
    name="Email",
    options={
        "build_exe": {"packages":["pygame"],
        "include_files":["aura.png"]}},
    executables = executables,
    version='1.0.0'
)

It's not valid to call setup without a version number.

Are you trying to run this from the command line or from the GUI? If from the GUI you may need to call Executable("Email.py", base="Win32GUI") as per the docs in order for it to work, so that might be the problem. But it would help to see the full traceback.
