title: Python 2.7 Cx_Freeze: ImportError: No module named __startup__
body: <p>I am trying to compile a hello world program in Python into a stand-alone binary/package on Linux using cx_Freeze. When cx_Freeze is run, it completes without an error but when I attempt to run the generated executable, I am given the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ImportError: No module named __startup__
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My setup.py file is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
  
  # Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need
  # fine tuning.
  buildOptions = dict(packages = [], excludes = [])
  
  base = 'Console'
  
  executables = [
      Executable('test.py', base=base)
  ]
  
  setup(name='test',
        version = '1.0',
        description = '',
        options = dict(build_exe = buildOptions),
        executables = executables)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And it is run as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python setup.py build
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am confused as to why this is happening. If the ImportError was for a library, I would understand - but <code>__startup__</code> is unfamiliar to me. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
