Hi Maksym 😊 Let me know if I got you right - you were able to install 'auto-py-to-exe' and after it showed you it's installed in the terminal you typed 'auto-py-to-exe' and then it presented you with that error? Troubleshooting suggestions: - Do you have Python 3.4 or above? - Did you by any chance install it in one working environment and then tried to access it from another environment? or simply from the root? - Try uninstalling it and then installing it again - Try accessing it manually, here's how your path will look like: C:\Users\Mariya\anaconda3\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe Where you'll need to replace "Mariya" with your own username 😊 Good luck, and please let me know if one of these suggestions worked! 😀
I had the same exact problem, I am using python 3.9 so that shouldn't be an issue and I tried to access it manually, but for some reason, I couldn't find the exe file. What worked for me was once I installed it, I noticed that it gave the file directory for all of the files of auto-py-to-exe so I just did a control-f search (in the terminal after installation) for auto-py-to-exe.exe and copied the file directory that it gave and pasted it in file explorer and it worked perfectly. Probably not the way to fix the problem but it helps to get around the problem. I should also mention that I just graduated High School and have only been programming for a few months as a hobby, and I don't have much experience.

@@redthunder6183 *Solution* : Hi there, I got the same problem and i noticed that when i installed auto-py-to-exe it gave me a warning: WARNING: The scripts auto-py-to-exe.exe and autopytoexe.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\ARHYA\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location. So basically you need to add this location in your PATH variable of your system. To do this: 1. Find this link when u install it or you can get this link alternatively by running these lines in your python IDLE. 'import os' then 'import sys' then 'print(os.path.dirname(sys.executable)+'\\Scripts\\')' then copy the output which is the location that u need to add in the PATH variable. 2. Press windows key n type 'system environment', open the setting named 'Edit the system environment variables'. 3. Press the option labeled 'Environment Variables' . 4. Find 'Path' under system variables and double click on it. 5. Press 'New' and paste the the location which we copied. Make sure to press 'OK' to save the changes. 6. Open a new command prompt and try 'auto-py-to-exe' (Make sure u have it installed before running :) ). Now everything should work fine :P. (Note this kind of problem arises when u dont check the box which says 'Add python to PATH' when installing python. ) I hope this works for all of you. Best of luck :)
I definitely agree! The whole purpose of my channel is to inspire lovely developers to create their own projects! 😊 This is the best way to learn, practice and get better and better and what we do. I am a thousand times more confident in my programming skills since I stated building my own projects, even though I still have so much to learn! 😀 Programming courses are great, but sometimes they limit our imagination and creativity. I prefer the trial and error way 😉
This is definitely not. python files designed to be executed with an interpreter and exe files are created with compilers. This is a cool but not an out of the box solution, so teaching this in a programming intro course will only cause confusion to someone who is new to programming.
@@ovs_cosplay If you have written a python project and you want to deploy it for other people to use, what's the best deployment method? Exe is such a standard, if you want other people to use your code. Also, if you want to protect and obfuscate your code, so that it cannot be reverse engineered, will it be safe once converted to exe? Is there a way to obfuscate code if you're deploying on pypi for example?

So…. This video just stumbled on my feed and decided to check it out. After so long looking into how to do this (learning Python on my own) this is by far the easiest way I’ve seen to convert to .exe. Thank you so much!
So roughly a month ago I started tinkering with python and learning the ropes, wondering if this fascinating programming language could only... well, produce things that need to be launched from obscure windows requiring specific programs like VSC. And now I stumble into this *6-minute tutorial* and it's just... wow! This is awesome! It's all coming together. I had just finished a project this afternoon and it was so cool turning into a proper runnable app. Thank you very much!
Thank you Mariya I did this eventually, although you made the hard part look really easy. To get from 0.30 to 0.45 took me several hours. The things you did would not work in command prompt, you have to get anaconda, then anaconda navigator, then from navigator you can run a terminal in main virtual environment where you can install auto-py-to-exe, then with this app you can finally convert .py to .exe

I tried py2exe and similar programs at some point be found that even the most simple programs are created including every python module into the executable making even a small scripts hundreds of megabytes large. It seems you have the same problem. I saw quite a few large .dll scrolling over the screen, and even some intel MKL stuff. I would love a py2exe-lke programs that just includes the byte compiled script, the necessary functions and a barebones interpreter, thus generating binaries that a just a few Mb in size. Do you know something this?
I don’t know English well, and I’m even worse at programming, but your videos are very useful and informative for me, I think it’s worth trying to start learning programming with Python. And thanks a lot for your work!
You're absolutely welcome benet tsif! it was a highly requested video, and judging by all the GUI projects we created on this channel - I should have done it much earlier! 😀
thankfully the package you install does all the heavy lifting which is why it isn't complicated. Kinda how we can say "oh driving isnt as complicated as I thought", but really the engine and how everything works is abstracted away behind a steering wheel and some buttons. But thats the power of python: there probably exists a library for what you want to do. But you can also implement stuff from scratch if that's what you want to do too - I find that it personally helps me get a deeper understanding of concepts

This isn't really "converting" it's bundling, it's just wrapping the Python + the python runtime and your files into an executable. If you wanted to truly convert Python to native code there is one project called Nukita, that does whole program source file to source file conversation. This however takes a huge amount of time because it has to convert and compile everything including all your library dependencies.
@@AlexJaeger716 native code can be decompiled but often times the symbols will be striped as well as names mangled and that's not including a lot of compiler optimisation, the decompiled output is nothing like the origin source code.

I am almost done creating my program that has been running solely in the IDE. Was getting excited to pack it into a .exe or .app file and show dad. Then I realised I might need to code out a GUI. I guess I have to learn that now. How did you do yours? It looks fresh. I have heard tkinter is the way to go? I basically just have to display a datafram and give them options to change a couple of values before exporting it to a spreadsheet for them to save or print.

Hello., I have done conversion of one simple py calculator file to exe . conversion is successful and the exe file runs fine in the pc where I have converted it ( OS windows10 ) . However I like to know, if i run it another pc where OS is Windows 10 , but python and other python related extension/modules is not installed , the exe file will run in that PC? or even I want to run it in Windows 7 , will the exe file work? your answer will be appreciated.Thanks .
2 Quick questions on this one Maria: If i want to have a programm that uses OpenCV or Yolo or any other library, do i have to include those packages somehow? And if i install run this exe then on a computer with no python / libs etc on it, will it run and is there a way to do so? And the last question: Is there any way to actually secure my python code, like for example other programs use license dongles etc. Can i do sth similar with Python?
i just cant thank you enough. this explanation is real ez. this channel is sooo under-rated. UA-cam must recommend your videos rather than dumb minecraft and attitude statuses.
I've always felt tempted to use py2exe but the large file sizes of the output let me kind of disappointed. Someone suggested a video on configuring setup.py, but I believe that's just an intro to something bigger that could be covered in a small series of videos, wich is creating, building and publishing python packages. Something I would love to watch on your channel. Keep up the good work!
Hi mariya. I made a gyi for one of my projects based on the same templates using your quiz app. It accesses several other python files and also collects data from a csv file and maps it to an excel file. Also it opens another different application on clicking a button in the gyi. I tried creating exe file using autopytoexe. It created a file but it is crashing when clicked. Can you please tell how to debug using autopytoexe advanced options
How would you handle version control on an exe. I have considered using pyupdater but it is no longer being maintained at the time of this comment. Any suggestions?
Well, I used to work with pyInstaller but this time I said to myself let's give this a shot. turns out this library is using pyInstaller too! but because it's GUI-based I will use this from now on. thanks for the step-by-step introduction.
Super tutorial. Thank you very much. There seems to be a problem with the tkinter library, which is used by pyglet. I'm using macOS and the question is whether on such a system, tkinter can cause (causes) problems with interactive windows. Can you advise how to solve this? thanks in advance
Please Tell me about your Computer's Monitor. I also want to purchase this kind of large monitor. Because I am Also a Python Coding Learner.... By the Way your Explanation Skills are Awesome. I LIKE IT SO MUCH. Thank You.. Waiting for your Reply ..... ....... ....... ...............
Broo you help me so much, now I can make Screenshot to text app in desktop :D. BTW I'm using Tesseract-OCR in "additional files" configuration I'm using add folder to add the Tesseract folder. Now my life become easier to copy code from any coding tutorial hahaha :)
PyInstaller is another famous tool with more flexibility. It allows you to not only generate windows exe, but you can also generate the binaries for linux/unix like systems.
Auto-py-to-exe actually is Pyinstaller! It's the GUI extension of it though, but it has the exact same functionalities... even if you look at the very bottom section of the auto-py interface - you'll see the Pyinstaller code you would have used in your terminal 😉 I just find an interface to be much more convenient than command prompt, but it's only a matter of preference 😀
Just a nooby question. Why would you want py to exe. What would be the benefits. You can just run the py script as is so why would you need to change it to exe? Does it make it so anyone can use it without having Python installed on their computer if you send them the file?
It's definitely not a nooby question - I've seen it a lot in the comments! 😉 You don't really need to have anything installed when running an .exe version of your app - no specific version of Python or any of the dependencies. All you need is to have the exact same OS as the person who converted the .py to .exe - and you can run it with no problem! So if you're using Windows - you can share your app only with Windows users. Same goes for Linux and Mac. The main purpose is to be able to share your application with folks who don't know much about programming or how to run a .py file😁 If you want your application to run on any OS - you'll need an additional step of using "Inno Setup", you can find more info about it here: jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php So .exe is nice, but converting it into a setup file - is much better! Good luck and I hope it helps! 😊
@@PythonSimplified absolutely brilliantly worded reply. That answered everything I need to know. I just wondered as I have quite a few little projects on the go and I want to package them up for other people to use but obviously having all these things run without all of its dependencies is quite frustrating to explain to people. Download this. Install this. Or it won’t work. Whereas this will just have everything run then. That’s great. I’m using a lot of different modules that aren’t too common you see so this really does help. Thank you so much. 😊
I have problem after running the exe file, I done all the things as you say, and my .py file converted to exe finely. but it is not opening, just opening my terminal but it is closing in a second, Is this way only for GUI apps ? because my program doesn't have a GUI. my py file is working, but exe not working, I'm sure it is not a program error, is that a my error or Auto-py-to-exe error ? And I'm not using Anaconda, I'm using PIP, Also my program is using selenium webdriver with Edge webdriver. What I need to do now ? Please reply..... Thank you!!

'auto-py-to-exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Hi Maksym 😊
Let me know if I got you right - you were able to install 'auto-py-to-exe' and after it showed you it's installed in the terminal you typed 'auto-py-to-exe' and then it presented you with that error?
Troubleshooting suggestions:
- Do you have Python 3.4 or above?
- Did you by any chance install it in one working environment and then tried to access it from another environment? or simply from the root?
- Try uninstalling it and then installing it again
- Try accessing it manually, here's how your path will look like:
C:\Users\Mariya\anaconda3\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe
Where you'll need to replace "Mariya" with your own username 😊
Good luck, and please let me know if one of these suggestions worked! 😀

I am almost done creating my program that has been running solely in the IDE. Was getting excited to pack it into a .exe or .app file and show dad. Then I realised I might need to code out a GUI. I guess I have to learn that now. How did you do yours? It looks fresh. I have heard tkinter is the way to go? I basically just have to display a datafram and give them options to change a couple of values before exporting it to a spreadsheet for them to save or print.

Thanks a lot Madam, I am 12 years old and I made a Clock App, and this was the perfect tutorial for me, please keep making more !
This video was so well made that I watched the whole thing and I do t even need to convert my .py files
thanks so much for the tutorial I hope you reach 100k as soon as possible
You're my favorite coding youtuber :)
OMG you saved my ass i have to deliver my project till Monday. I tried to use pyinstaller before but it doesnt worked now it is working with your Auto-Py-To-Exe. Thanks
Thank you for your videos, your content is not the same as content from other channels. And it’s amazing!
Thanks for sharing, so you only need to send the EXE file to another person to start using the code?
At work i use python to connect with ODBC to SQL servers where our accounting data is stored and extract data.
If i want someone to use this code, will i need to create a ODBC connection on the user's machine?
Your windows ui in file explorer looks clear and better. Do you use a different font? Or maybe a different setting?
Yes Garvit! I've enlarged the scale and layout to 150% so that the video text is much more readable! 😁
I've also selected "Dark" in the colour options and I'm using Windows 10 Pro, 20H2 Version 😉
I am seriously addicted to your videos 😵😵😵🙃🤗
Hello., I have done conversion of one simple py calculator file to exe . conversion is successful and the exe file runs fine in the pc where I have converted it ( OS windows10 ) . However I like to know, if i run it another pc where OS is Windows 10 , but python and other python related extension/modules is not installed , the exe file will run in that PC? or even I want to run it in Windows 7 , will the exe file work? your answer will be appreciated.Thanks .
2 Quick questions on this one Maria: If i want to have a programm that uses OpenCV or Yolo or any other library, do i have to include those packages somehow? And if i install run this exe then on a computer with no python / libs etc on it, will it run and is there a way to do so? And the last question: Is there any way to actually secure my python code, like for example other programs use license dongles etc. Can i do sth similar with Python?
SUPER HELPFUL
pyinstaller was getting on my nerves but this is better THANK YOU
Learn a lot watching your videos. ❤️ from Srilanka
Missed the live chat but in this case you've left no questions! As always, fantastic content.
You kept the video short and it was very good regardless. You are amazing.
This video made my day! You are a great help! I just finished my 1st project. Thank you! New subscriber here.
It helped me alot. I was searching youtube for this topic since 19 days but finally I got this video. Thanks
Love from india..❤️❤️
Yey! I'm so I happy I could help! 😁😁
Greetings from Canada! 😊
i just cant thank you enough. this explanation is real ez. this channel is sooo under-rated. UA-cam must recommend your videos rather than dumb minecraft and attitude statuses.
I've always felt tempted to use py2exe but the large file sizes of the output let me kind of disappointed.
Someone suggested a video on configuring setup.py, but I believe that's just an intro to something bigger that could be covered in a small series of videos, wich is creating, building and publishing python packages. Something I would love to watch on your channel.
Keep up the good work!
Hi Maria, Would you please give us a run down of your computer (hardware) set up.. I really love that monitor and keyboard.
Hi mariya. I made a gyi for one of my projects based on the same templates using your quiz app. It accesses several other python files and also collects data from a csv file and maps it to an excel file. Also it opens another different application on clicking a button in the gyi. I tried creating exe file using autopytoexe. It created a file but it is crashing when clicked. Can you please tell how to debug using autopytoexe advanced options
very helpful videos, thank you!
I'm clicking like before watching the tutorial. Good job Mariya!
How would you handle version control on an exe. I have considered using pyupdater but it is no longer being maintained at the time of this comment. Any suggestions?
I almost fell in love ^^ I had to watch it 3 times because I got lost in your sweet smile xD keep making videos !❤
it was also very helpful
Awesome, I like the front end for the py to exe, was not aware it existed. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Tobs! I'm a huge fan of interfaces as opposed to consoles so I was a 100% sold on Auto-py-to-exe from the get go! 😃
This video is a gem for a beginner. Thank you so much
Well, I used to work with pyInstaller but this time I said to myself let's give this a shot. turns out this library is using pyInstaller too! but because it's GUI-based I will use this from now on. thanks for the step-by-step introduction.
Thanks a lot, Mariya! It helped me a lot. Everything resulted as expected. Keep your work up. Greetings from Peru. 🤗
Do you only add source files? If you are reading from text files do you need to add those too?
Super tutorial. Thank you very much.
There seems to be a problem with the tkinter library, which is used by pyglet. I'm using macOS and the question is whether on such a system, tkinter can cause (causes) problems with interactive windows.
Can you advise how to solve this?
thanks in advance
I love you for sharing these vidoes!
To the point!! Worked well. Thanks.
Please Tell me about your Computer's Monitor. I also want to purchase this kind of large monitor.
Because I am Also a Python Coding Learner....
By the Way your Explanation Skills are Awesome. I LIKE IT SO MUCH.
Thank You..
Waiting for your Reply
..... ....... ....... ...............
Thanks for this video, I wasn't aware of this process with auto-py-to-exe.
Thank you so much! Which you prefer Tkinter or PyQt5? =D
Mariya! i'Ve barely realized this tut. WOuld You compare this one to pyinstaller?
Broo you help me so much, now I can make Screenshot to text app in desktop :D. BTW I'm using Tesseract-OCR in "additional files" configuration I'm using add folder to add the Tesseract folder. Now my life become easier to copy code from any coding tutorial hahaha :)
If you want to protect your python code, so that it cannot be reverse engineered, will it be safe / encrypted once converted to exe?
Thanks for your effort. It's really amazing and simple way.
It's a pleasure to be one of your channel members.
You are a great teacher Mariya!
PyInstaller is another famous tool with more flexibility. It allows you to not only generate windows exe, but you can also generate the binaries for linux/unix like systems.
Auto-py-to-exe actually is Pyinstaller!
It's the GUI extension of it though, but it has the exact same functionalities... even if you look at the very bottom section of the auto-py interface - you'll see the Pyinstaller code you would have used in your terminal 😉
I just find an interface to be much more convenient than command prompt, but it's only a matter of preference 😀
Thanks python simplified I love you, you're maybe 90% programmer, but you're also a 100% amazing
Just a nooby question. Why would you want py to exe. What would be the benefits. You can just run the py script as is so why would you need to change it to exe? Does it make it so anyone can use it without having Python installed on their computer if you send them the file?
It's definitely not a nooby question - I've seen it a lot in the comments! 😉
You don't really need to have anything installed when running an .exe version of your app - no specific version of Python or any of the dependencies. All you need is to have the exact same OS as the person who converted the .py to .exe - and you can run it with no problem! So if you're using Windows - you can share your app only with Windows users. Same goes for Linux and Mac.
The main purpose is to be able to share your application with folks who don't know much about programming or how to run a .py file😁
If you want your application to run on any OS - you'll need an additional step of using "Inno Setup", you can find more info about it here:
jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
So .exe is nice, but converting it into a setup file - is much better!
Good luck and I hope it helps! 😊
@@PythonSimplified absolutely brilliantly worded reply. That answered everything I need to know. I just wondered as I have quite a few little projects on the go and I want to package them up for other people to use but obviously having all these things run without all of its dependencies is quite frustrating to explain to people. Download this. Install this. Or it won’t work. Whereas this will just have everything run then. That’s great. I’m using a lot of different modules that aren’t too common you see so this really does help. Thank you so much. 😊
The exe file contains all the packages, too? No need to install python or the packages on the user's computer?
Simple, fluent and nice tutorial, thumbs UP
Does it compile to binary...?or just a janky fileformat and call the orginal source file on a python runtime..?
I was using pyinstaller and my antivirus didn't allow me to run my exe file..
I was hoping this would fix that but didn't
Pls help
Very very thank you your video was so helpful all the best for the next video 👍
I have problem after running the exe file, I done all the things as you say, and my .py file converted to exe finely. but it is not opening, just opening my terminal but it is closing in a second, Is this way only for GUI apps ? because my program doesn't have a GUI. my py file is working, but exe not working, I'm sure it is not a program error, is that a my error or Auto-py-to-exe error ? And I'm not using Anaconda, I'm using PIP, Also my program is using selenium webdriver with Edge webdriver. What I need to do now ? Please reply..... Thank you!!
Stunning as usual.
Thanks for the very helpful vid.
What to do if i have a mysql database connection in my python project then how should i convert it in exe using this method please help me !
A python for excel video would be amazing.. luv ur content!
I have 2 different files
Main file ( for main execution ) & another file ( imported into main file )
So if I convert main file into exe
Will it work ?
Thanks for the vid, worked flawlessly!
Does the .exe get very big, because it needs to include the whole python interpreter, i assume?
I waste my whole day for searching gui.py to exe convention but your video help me losts soo thank you so much 😊😊
Very good explained - you are playing in the champions league - Thank you very much👍
hi, is it possible to include an icon in the title bar so that when I create an executable .exe it is incorporated in it without having to carry it around every time? for example if I change pc?
Hello, a question... when typing 2 numbers and asking for the sum to print in the python file, when converting it asks for the 2 numbers, but does not post the print, the screen simply disappears, what do I do?
