Description Holger Hoffstätte 2021-03-01 10:35:06 UTC
I wanted to create a standalone executable from a pyton script and tried cx_Freeze. After emerging, the cxfreeze script fails to start due to a missing dependency 'importlib_metadata'. This is unexpected since that package is supposedly part of the python stdlib as of 3.9.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge cx_Freeze using only python-3.9
2. start cxfreeze
3. Error!
Actual Results:  
$cxfreeze
Traceback (most recent call last):

Expected Results:  
Correct start.
