No module named 'cx_Freeze.util' ---cxFreeze in python3.4

Question

I'm trying to use cxFreeze4.3.3(downloaded from sourceforge) in Ubuntu 32bits, where both python2 and python3.4 are installed. At first I ran

python3.4 cxfreeze --help

And it printed help as wished. Then I ran

python3.4 cxfreeze /home/lz/dev/test/interface.py

an exception raised:

cx_Freeze.freezer.ConfigError: no base named Console

finally I specified the base name:

python3.4 cxfreeze --base-name=/home/lz/dev/test/interface.py /home/lz/dev/test/interface.py

File "cxfreeze", line 5, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/lz/cx_Freeze-4.3.3/cx_Freeze/main.py", line 188, in main
    freezer.Freeze()
  File "/home/lz/cx_Freeze-4.3.3/cx_Freeze/freezer.py", line 599, in Freeze
    import cx_Freeze.util
ImportError: No module named 'cx_Freeze.util'

After that I copied util.so from debian package.

ImportError: /home/lz/cx_Freeze-4.3.3/cx_Freeze/util.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4

Update: I tried to compile util.so from util.c,an error raised: Can't find "Python.h"

I replaced #include with #include "python3.4/Python.h" or #include "python2.7/Python.h", but more error raised:

Since PyQt5 is only available in python3, I have to use python3, and cxFreeze is said to be the only tool that supports python3. The cxFreeze debian package works well in python2.

I really appreciate any help.

Well, I've solved this problem.Here are the steps:

1. Download cx_freeze source from http://sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_cx-freeze/downloads/4.3.3/cx_Freeze-4.3.3.tar.gz/ and extract files
2. Modify setup.py:line 79 to if True:
3. Run sudo python3.4 setup.py install And then everything works well.
