    <p>I'm running into an issue with <code>cx_Freeze</code> when running a frozen application (works fine unfrozen).</p> <p>When running the program it results in the following traceback:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cx_Freeze/initscripts/Console.py", line 27, in &lt;module&gt; exec code in m.__dict__ File "PythonApp/mainframe.py", line 3, in &lt;module&gt; File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/__init__.py", line 103, in &lt;module&gt; from dbus._dbus import Bus, SystemBus, SessionBus, StarterBus File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 39, in &lt;module&gt; from dbus.bus import BusConnection File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 39, in &lt;module&gt; from dbus.connection import Connection File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 27, in &lt;module&gt; import threading File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 44, in &lt;module&gt; module='threading', message='sys.exc_clear') File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/warnings.py", line 57, in filterwarnings import re File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/re.py", line 105, in &lt;module&gt; import sre_compile File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_compile.py", line 14, in &lt;module&gt; import sre_parse File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_parse.py", line 17, in &lt;module&gt; from sre_constants import * File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_constants.py", line 18, in &lt;module&gt; from _sre import MAXREPEAT ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT </code></pre> <p>I'm on linux using a version of python 2.7.4 that I built from source, and importing <code>_sre</code> from a prompt works and I can access the <code>MAXREPEAT</code> constant.</p> <p>This is usually down to <code>cx_Freeze</code> not pulling everything into <code>library.zip</code> and can be fixed by explicitly naming the module in <code>cx_Freeze</code>s setup include list and is the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2223128/cx-freeze-importerror-cannot-import-name">solution to this similar question</a>, but that hasn't helped here.</p> <p>This <code>_sre</code> module seems weird.. there's no <code>_sre</code> file in the <code>library.zip</code> generated but from that error it seems like it can find it, however it can't import that symbol? Surely if the module wasn't there it would be a "<code>No module named _sre</code>" error. Or possibly a circular import but <code>_sre</code> stub doesn't have any imports.</p> <p>What's odd is I can't seem to find the file either - is this module dynamically created when importing somehow?</p> <pre><code>find /usr/local/lib/python2.7 -name "_sre*" </code></pre> <p>doesn't return anything, and the imported <code>_sre</code> module doesn't have a <code>__file__</code> attribute either, so I've no idea how to make sure it's included as it shows up as a built-in.</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import _sre &gt;&gt;&gt; _sre.__file__ Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__file__' &gt;&gt;&gt; repr(_sre) "&lt;module '_sre' (built-in)&gt;" </code></pre> <p>This is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15984650/python-wont-run-due-to-importerror-cannot-import-maxrepeat">similar to this question</a> also which was asked recently, but in this case he was getting the error in the regular interpreter, however for me it's just in <code>cx_Freeze</code>.</p> <h2>edit</h2> <p>Running <code>python -v</code> does seem like it's a built-in, so I'm not sure why <code>cx_Freeze</code> can miss it, or how I'd fix it.</p> <pre><code>... # /usr/local/lib/python2.7/re.pyc matches /usr/local/lib/python2.7/re.py import re # precompiled from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/re.pyc # /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_compile.pyc matches /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_compile.py import sre_compile # precompiled from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_compile.pyc import _sre # builtin # /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_parse.pyc matches /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_parse.py import sre_parse # precompiled from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_parse.pyc ... </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
