i use python 3.1.1, , have been trying compile program wrote earlier today, think code short enough post below.

from tkinter import *  class application(frame):     """ gui application creates story based on user input. """     def __init__(self, master):         """ initialize frame. """         super(application, self).__init__(master)           self.grid()         self.label1()         self.label2()        def label1(self):         label(self,               text = "shop keeper 1.1",               font = ("fixedsys",                       72)).grid(row = 0, column = 0, sticky = w)     def label2(self):         label(self,               text = "welcome shop keeper 1.1!"               ).grid(row = 1, column = 0, sticky = w)           # create label , text entry plural noun         label(self,               text = "block name:"               ).grid(row = 2, column = 0, sticky = w)         self.blokid = entry(self)         self.blokid.grid(row = 2, column = 1, sticky = w)          # create label , text entry verb         label(self,               text = "amount:"               ).grid(row = 3, column = 0, sticky = w)         self.amound = entry(self)         self.amound.grid(row = 3, column = 1, sticky = w)          label(self,               text = "name:"               ).grid(row = 4, column = 0, sticky = w)         self.nama = entry(self)         self.nama.grid(row = 4, column = 1, sticky = w)          label(self,               text = "desired price:"               ).grid(row = 5, column = 0, sticky = w)         self.desprice = entry(self)         self.desprice.grid(row = 5, column = 1, sticky = w)         # create submit button         button(self,                text = "submit order",                command = self.submit                ).grid(row = 6, column = 1, sticky = w)          self.submit = text(self, width = 75, height = 10, wrap = word)         self.submit.grid(row = 7, column = 0, columnspan = 4)      def submit(self):         """ fill text box new story based on user input.

i've been trying compile cx_freeze few hours, no luck. creates folder, when click on .exe opens , closes fast. after clicking fast multiple times, found missing module tkinter, , after searching forums here i've come conclusion missing module. can't fix it, however! i've tried add tcl8.5 , tk8.5 folders suggested, doesn't seem fix it. i've tried can, create question last resort. folder created has files:

_socket.pyd _tkinter.pyd library.zip mad_lib.exe python31.dll select.pyd tcl85.dll tk85.dll unicodedata.pyd 

please help!

using activestate python 3.2.2.3 (http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads)

i went http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/ , downloaded & installed msi python 3.2 (i'm using 64 bit).

i saved program c:\scripts\shopkeeper.py
