When try to use pip install --force --no-cache --pre --extra-index-url https://marcelotduarte.github.io/packages/ cx_Freeze with cx_Freeze-7.1.0.dev3-cp39-cp39-win_amd64 I get the same error.

I noticed also that with cx_Freeze-7.1.0.dev3 there is an error during freezing:

But once it has appeared, the process goes on.

In version 7.0.0 these errors and warnings do not appear

TypeError: argument docstring of add_docstring should be a str

I had already commented here:
"""
numpy uses its docstring, so remove the optimization that it works. The optimization works like described here.
See also: numpy/numpy#13248 (comment)
"""
And complementing the comment, I can say that in the previous version, when you used -O -OO in reality only -O ended up being used and it gave you the impression of using complete optimization. Therefore with numpy only -O1 can be used. I'll see if there's a way to restrict the optimization to just the numpy module.

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='lief.s3-website.fr-par.scw.cloud', ...

This is a server error when the protocols, certificates, have nothing to do with cx_Freeze. Alias is a pip command.

[marcelotduarte]

Thank you for insisting, so I decided to find a solution.
You can test the patch in the latest development build (dev4):
pip install --force --no-cache --pre --extra-index-url https://marcelotduarte.github.io/packages/ cx_Freeze

Thank you, with version 7.1.0.dev4 this project works.
