executables executables python error trying to turn pygame into executable with cx freeze

In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of turning a Pygame script into an executable using cx_Freeze. Creating an executable is beneficial for distributing your Pygame application without requiring users to install Python or Pygame. We will address common issues, such as the "executables = executables" error, and provide a step-by-step guide with code examples.
Before you start, make sure you have the following installed:
Save this script in a directory where you want to organize your project.
Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory containing your scripts, and run the following command:
This command will create a build directory containing your executable. You might encounter the "executables = executables" error during this process.
Run the cx_Freeze command again:
This time, the process should complete without the "executables = executables" error.
Navigate to the build directory and run your executable. You should see a Pygame window with the caption "Pygame Executable Tutorial." If everything is set up correctly, your Pygame application is now packaged as an executable.
Congratulations! You have successfully created an executable from a Pygame script using cx_Freeze. Feel free to distribute the executable to others, and they can run your Pygame application without needing to install Python or Pygame.
