In setup.py for cx_Freeze you provide something like:
Executable("myscript.py", ...)
In this file myscript.py at top level your "main" function must be called.
A guard with:
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
does no longer work and is no longer executed by cx_Freeze.
This is because the file "myscript.py" is only imported.
For imports only top level code is executed.
Example content of myscript.py:
from myapp import main
main()

Wolfgang
