I managed to resolve it, by following Mike's hint thanks Mike.
It was simply to change the setup.py script to
import cx_Freeze
import sys
import matplotlib
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
executables = [
cx_Freeze.Executable("script.py", base = base)
]
cx_Freeze.setup(
name = "script",
options = {"build_exe": {"include_files":[(
matplotlib.get_data_path(),"mpl-data")],}},
version = "0.1",
description = "Sample matplotlib script",
executables = executables)
