py2exe - "The following modules appear to be missing"

Question

First time using stackoverflow so go easy please. I used py2exe before on my old computer and it worked fine. Unfortunately when trying to use it on my new one the exe. file just doesn't work. I get these errors when trying to convert the .py file.

My setup .py

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(windows=['Test.py'])

My Test.py to convert to exe.

def Test():
   print 'TEST'
   Test()

The Errors I receive:

The following modules appear to be missing

['IronPythonConsole', 'System', 'System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard', '_scproxy', 'c
lr', 'console', 'modes.editingmodes', 'pyreadline.keysyms.make_KeyPress', 'pyrea
dline.keysyms.make_KeyPress_from_keydescr', 'pyreadline.keysyms.make_keyinfo', '
pyreadline.keysyms.make_keysym', 'startup']

Any ideas? I've just gave up looking online because I cant seem to find any answers to the problem. I'd be very grateful for some help.

I, think the problem is that you are using the window option rather than the console option for a console application. For any further issues related to py2exe you may refer this Link.

Use this code to build your .exe:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=['Test.py'])
