Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'freeze-core' ↓

cause Trying to import the package name with a hyphen.

fix

Use import freeze_core instead of import freeze-core.

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

cause 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.

Warnings

gotcha Package 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`.

gotcha freeze-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.

breaking In 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.
