Mac cxFreeze app quits unexpectedly when trying to open

I am trying to convert a python script to a mac app so I can distribute it. I'm using cxFreeze to do this. After creating the app, I try to open it but it says the app quit unexpectedly and shows some report.

(code signature invalid (errno=1)
usr/local/lib/Python (no such file)

mac report

---

my script at.py:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import font
window = tk.Tk()
width=1
window.title('test')
window.geometry("425x500")

label_speed = tk.Label(
    text="Speed"
)

label_speed.grid(row=1, column=1, columnspan = 5, stick="w")
window.mainloop()

And then my setup.py

from cx_Freeze import Executable, setup

base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
    base = "Win32GUI"

executables = [Executable("at.py", base=base)]

setup(
    name="test",
    version="0.1",
    description="just for testing",
    executables=executables,
)

I used the following commands to make the mac bundle or app.

python3 setup.py build then python3 setup.py bdist_dmg I had to use python3 instead of python because it wasn't working for me.

Thanks in advance for any tips and answers

There might be two different things going on. The first thing I know I have run into with cx_freeze is that it tried to map to where it thinks the python 2.x folder should be even if I specify to run on python 3.x. The other thing might be it was downloaded on to a different path. type $ where python to see where the file path should be. If you do $ open $FILEPATH and you see that its using python3 it might be worth reaching out to the maintainer of cx_freeze and see if they have any advice.
