In general, use build, but in most cases where you're using cx_Freeze, it
won't make a difference, I think.
In distutils, build is a master command which runs:
- build_clib
- build_ext
- build_py
- build_scripts
(see
http://docs.python.org/2/distutils/apiref.html#module-distutils.command.build)
cx_Freeze adds build_exe, and modifies build to run that as well. So in
principle, your setup script could list modules and packages as well as
executables, and running build would prepare them all. There's rarely a
need for that, though.
Best wishes,
Thomas
