Exclude python3.dll

[yasirroni]

My use case is to create a patch where user can copy paste old files with latest patch. In this use case, I'm using exhaustive exclude for faster creation, such as

cxfreeze -c GUI/GUI.py --target-dir dist --exclude-modules currency_converter,fastapi,jinja2,numpy,openpyxl,pandas,pydantic,scipy,sympy,xlrd,xlsxwriter,xlwings,asyncio,concurrent,ctypes,currency_converter,distutils,email,html,http,lib2to3,logging,multiprocessing,pydoc_data,pywin32_system32,tcl8,tcl8.6,test,tk8.6,tkinter,unittest,urllib,xml,xmlrpc

It can further optimized with excluding python3.dll and python3.8.dll. Later when I know that I upgrade dependency and or python, I can delete them from exclude list.

This make patch distribution smaller and faster creation.

I'm not sure, but it should work using the name or fullpath with bin-excludes.

I'm not sure, but it should work using the name or fullpath with bin-excludes.

That is not possible, based on this example,

import time

print("Hello World!")

time.sleep(5)

run using

cxfreeze -c cx_freeze/hello_world.py --target-dir cx_freeze/dist  --bin-excludes python3.dll

I've been tryting to find any related code inside this repository but can't find any relevant code yet, so I can't help to make a PR.

This message also appears, right after we run,
