As far as I'm aware, cx_freeze is the only app able to make Python scripts to .exe files. However, I would like to make a GUI exe in Python 3. And after freezing a simple Tkinter GUI and running the exe, I get the following error:

> _tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
>     {C:\Users\User\Desktop\tkinter\build\exe.win32-3.1\tcl}

I am using the simple setup cx_freeze option.
My cx_freeze exe bundle is save to the following directory:
C:\Users\User\Desktop\tkinter\build\exe.win32-3.1
Files are:
_ctypes.pyd
_tkinter.pyd
basicLABEL.exe
library.zip
python31.dll
tcl85.dll
tk85.dll
unicodedata.pyd
                Just wanted to state that 11/23/2013 cx_freeze using the regular bat file - will do this for you.  You don't need to copy the files (python33).  Cheers!
