Error when trying to turn a python script using ursina into an executable

Question

So I was using cx_Freeze in order to turn my python script using ursina into an executable but then this happened : Error

What am I supposed to do?

This is what my folder content and setup.py file looked like when I had the error : Content

Try to add 'ursina' to the packages list of the build_exe_options in the setup.py script.

EDIT: try also to add src to the include_files list of the build_exe_options:

build_exe_options = {'packages': ['ursina'], 'include_files': ['src']}

# ...

setup(  name = ...,  # complete!
        ...
        options = {'build_exe': build_exe_options},
        executables = [Executable(...)])

See the cx_Freeze documentation for further details.

I did that but it doesn't work unfortunately – Onuelito Aug 18 '21 at 13:15
@Onuelito Does the error message change once you have added `ursina` to the `packages` list of the `build_exe_options`? – jpeg Aug 20 '21 at 06:09

From the original Ursina engine's folder copy the application.py file and in the build folder, you will find exe.win-amd64-3.9 folder , inside that there will be a folder named lib, inside that there will be ursina folder you have to paste it here (if you are using default download location then this is the application.py's path: C:\Users\welcome\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\ursina\application.py)
