Build fails while trying to make an exe-file with cx_Freeze

[bulkware]

I've been trying to include pyenchant with my program, and I can't get it to work with cx_freeze. If I build an exe with pyenchant, the program won't start. The error is:

---

cx_Freeze: Python error in main script

I can confirm this (although for me it doesn't fail at build, but causes the DLL to not be found when trying to run the built exe).

unicode is in utils.py set to str so that call becomes

str(sys.executable, sys.getfilesystemencoding())

As sys.executable is an str object, it just doesn't work. For use with solely Python 3, I think you can just monkey-patch that line to read

exe_path = sys.executable

I don't have a proper fix to suggest as I don't understand all that complicated stuff done to support both Python 2 and 3.

should be fixed in 3032268, thanks for digging into this and sorry for the delay
