Cant use cx_freeze after adding pyqtgraph

[Ian-Re]

Hey everyone,

I'm using cx-freeze==6.5.3 and pyqtgraph==0.11.1.

I can run my application/gui without any problems in pycharm/terminal, however after using cx_freeze with inno setup compiler it wont run and outputs the following (removed personal info):

C:\Program Files (x86)\TestSuite>HMI.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Projects\Software\HMI\env\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts_startup_.py", line 74, in run

from . import debug, reload
ImportError: cannot import name 'debug' from partially initialized module 'pyqtgraph' (most likely due to a circular import) (C:\Program Files (x86)\TestSuite\lib\pyqtgraph_init_.pyc)

This is strange as I only import pyqtgraph in one file in my code. I dont quite understand what would cause this. Removing pyqtgraph from my application results in a working output from cx_freeze

packages = ["pyqtgraph"] should solve this.

cx_Freeze 6.6 has just been released and supports this as a hook.
