Debug

Known issues

gotchaPackage name with hyphen (freeze-core) vs import with underscore (freeze_core). Importing freeze-core instead of freeze_core raises ModuleNotFoundError.

fix

Use `import freeze_core`.

affects: all

gotchafreeze-core is a core dependency for cx_Freeze; it is not meant to be used directly in most applications. Using it as a standalone tool may result in incomplete functionality.

fix

Install cx_Freeze instead if you want to freeze applications; freeze-core is pulled automatically.

affects: all

breakingIn version 0.5.0, the internal module name changed, breaking direct imports of old internal modules like `freeze_core.old_module`.

fix

Use only public API from freeze_core top-level module.

affects: >=0.5.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'freeze-core'

Trying to import the package name with a hyphen.

fix

Use `import freeze_core` instead of `import freeze-core`.

ImportError: cannot import name 'Resource' from 'freeze_core' (unknown location)

Resource may not be available in older versions or is not part of public API.

fix

Check if the symbol exists in your version: `dir(freeze_core)`. For version >=0.5.0, use `from freeze_core import ...` as documented.
