<!-- You can simply run the following and paste the result in a code block

import sys, scipy, numpy; print(scipy.version, numpy.version, sys.version_info) 0.19.1 1.15.1 sys.version_info(major=3, minor=6, micro=5, releaselevel='final', serial=0) -->

@vmadhukumar you will need to give us some more info. can you produce a self-contained example to reproduce this issue?

If you can do the imports in a normal interpreter then this will point to an issue with cx_freeze itself. I'm pretty sure this will be an issue with a cx_freeze recipe for scipy, you possibly need to specify it in include_files. I have no problems using pyinstaller with scipy. If you get a similar issue running code from the interpreter please feel free to reopen this issue.
