![Convert Tkinter Python App to Executable (.Exe) File [pyinstaller]](/img/n.gif)
Another great video - thanks for producing this.
Amazing, wonderful, clear, clean, smooth explanation!!
Glad to hear that!
Ty very much! Informative and simplistic. I was fighting tooth and nails to get my images in a exe and was losing badly.
Thank you so much! this video helped me figure out the problem, thanks!
Great info, I just want to add- with Pyinstaller (so with Auto py to exe as well) you can only convert py to Mac app if you do it on Mac and exe for Windows if you built in on Windows platform. It’s not clearly written on py installer website, but it appears in the documentation. So if I need to make exe on my Mac - PyInstaller is not the case. In any case thank you a lot for your videos!
I hate pyinstaller so much. Unfortunately I depend on it, but the number of times it was not working for no obvious reason when it was working just fine the other day is outrageous.
@@HassanAchieved I wish I could. I never had this error yet. :-(
I needed over 1 week myself to get it to work again (when it was working fine for like 3 years now, but then one day it decided to not find imports anymore). So fucking annoying. Still gotta be thankful for the developers that built this tool, eventhough I hate it with my guts. Good luck
nice been looking for something like this. ty
excellent video! thanks so much
Thank you so much! You helped me finally finish my ICT project!
Glad to hear!
Helped a lot. Very informative.
You're the best! Ty.
Legend. Thank you for this video. Great explanation. I am new to coding, and this helped me with my first simple job after searching for the required info, as I had difficulties with compiling everything into a single .exe file and understanding how to apply the resource_path in both tkinter and pygame. By the way, how do you add single brackets on 15:27?
tks for great video, this resolved my problem. Thanks so much
Thankyou brother, you save me from my lecturer
How would I be able to give a onefile executable permissions to write files?
I’m making a text adventure that requires writing files for .json saves, since the basic command I learned was only good for one save named “GameData.json”
My saves are assigned a number after “save_” (“save_1.json”, “save_2.json” … etc.)
God Bless You SIR! I'm a lucky ducky to have found this video. (search term was 'pyinstaller multiple file included' for those interest). It was a top result. Good god you saved me some time. Let me buy you a drink 💪🍻
This is very helpful thank you
How to add templates and static folder in it??? im getting Invalid file descriptor to ICU data received. this error
Thanks you, you are a saviour.
Glad to help
The best solution vid ty
It solved a problem of not recognizing pandas-ta lib. Thanks!!!
How?
I have problem when I import pandas library
Very cool library this auto-py-to-exe. Thx for the tips, cheers!
Glad you liked it!
I am having a problum when i add a folder the images and sound files dont show up
I can create exe file from python script. Everything works in my computer. Problem is that when I move file from my computer to other computer (regardless of windows of Mac) does not work. That new computer even do not recognize the exe file as exe file. Can anyone have any understandin?
tried to run pyinstaller, immediately got the file killed by defender. is there no way to get around this problem for good? it seems to be around for a long time already.
Thanks for the tutorial. I faced an issue after converting the tkinter file to exe using pyinstaller. When running it, I got an error "no module named tkinter". I don't know how to solve it. I have already installed tkinter, and when converting the file, I used the hidden import attribute as well, but it's not working. Please help me.
Anyone know why it my CMD keeps saying its not recognised. Same with tip 1
It is not just for Windows, i learning AI and creating GLaDOS in Python and i know that pyinstaller with staticx can make statically linked ELF files that work on almost every modern Ubuntu/Debian
Tried all but still getting the same FileNotFound error. Just copy pasted the images folder with all my images into the "dist" folder which I get after py-installing. Worked like a charm for me 😂
My program only runs on the console, where I need to put the information. However, even with an entry right at the beginning, the console opens and closes... Starts the exe, but only opens and closes the console. Do you know why?
Not sure. Most likely an issue in the code. Try to figure out whether pyinstaller itself is working. Try some different programs? add a time.sleep(5) statement to pause the window. Maybe make some prints to the console, etc.
If same issue persists it's likely an issue with pyinstaller.
@@coderslegacy5661 I managed to fix it, I put a "time.sleep()" and it worked fine. Thank you very much friend! #Brazil
Great video. I am having one problem. Pyinstaller does not seem to be grabbing the imported libraries, for example I keep getting 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module name request'.
me too
I faced the same issue with xlsx writer (I use Anaconda). I had two different environments (one was "base", the other was "user_defined"). Turned out I was coding in the base env and using pyinstaller in "user_defined" env. Installed the xlsx writer module also in the user_defined env and then it worked for me. Hope this helps!
Sir, dose the tips that you gave works for virtual environment the same way?
There should not be any difference, generally speaking.
@@coderslegacy5661 Okay, sir thanks you.
Save My Day
Hi sir!
Thanks your video, I have a question that it seems to take a long time for the .exe file to start,
is there any way to make the exe file small in size and start up fast?
Yes, you can reduce the number of dependencies involved. You can use virtual environments to make sure only the libraries you need are installed. Alternatively, you can use a different python library for creating EXE's, such as cx_Freee or Nuitka, which both have faster load times.
@@coderslegacy5661 Thank you very much!
sir please use pyzbar and the try to create exe file , in window 11.... these is error
But I don't think only using onefile flag will identify the image file . You have to use add-data flag to add it when building it.
That's correct. If you are adding data files such as images you need to use --add-data.
I have made a python executable but it fails if not run with administrator. I have other files on my pc that has a UAC icon and when clicked always run as administrator
Sounds like a bit of unique case. How about you try going into properties (right click on the exe) and then tick the "run as administrator" checkbox.
@@coderslegacy5661 I want run as adimistrator run automaticelly how can I do that
@@bdlramansad hey do you run the exe with administrator privilege automatically?
@@ardra5878 This was a year ago. I was a beginner. Now I'm a little better. Yes, I solved the problem just add --uac-admin with pyinstaller compiling command as example like that pyinstaller -F main.py --uac-admin
I get an error auto-py-to-exe not found after successfully installing.
same dude.
Try running it using this command "python -m auto_py_to_exe" in your terminal.
There's a big issue, when Windows Defender recognizes an exe-file, compiled by Pyinstaller, as a malicious trojan. And you need to explain this situation to your customers. What is the best solution for this?
I agree, this is quite an issue with pyinstaller. I wrote an article on this topic, explaining various solutions to this problem. Here is the link.

@@coderslegacy5661 The most comprehensive article on this topic, thank you!
I've had an issue where pyinstaller/auto py to exe did package my python project (which is a simple video downloader which uses youtube-dl module) with no issues and when I ran it it still ran with no issues but then when I actually tried to download a video it would always give me an error. I tried many solutions i found online but none worked. Finally I fixed it by selecting console based instead of window based (no console) in auto py to exe. So if anyone's having a similar issue you can try that.
Edit: I'll update this if a find a way to fix the issue without getting the console.
Could you mention the error here? Maybe I know a fix, or it might help someone else.
@@coderslegacy5661 Pyinstaller did build the project and the exe opened fine but when I tried to download a video it didn't download it and gave me an error
@@coderslegacy5661 same it occurs if you do console it works but if you do nocmd (--windowed) it doesn't work app opens but if you click a button that is running another python file by importing it doesn't work
Hidden import issue please make one vedio on it
I got you. I made a video on this (using the GUI interface auto-py-to-exe).

i encounter a problem: it says pyinstaller is not an executable , sth like that , plz tell me how to fix
That's a pretty vague problem you just described. Where exactly is the problem occurring?
You should first check to see if pyinstaller was successfully installed. You can try checking the current version using pip. Another possible problem is that you do not have Python added to PATH (environment variables). If that is the case, you should do a google search for "Add Python to PATH" and follow the first video.
@@coderslegacy5661 problem was python wasn't added to path , solved the problem thnx
auto-py-to-exe: command not found
Sounds like a Python PATH issue. You can easily verify this by running "python -V" in the command prompt. If it doesn't work, your Python is not added to PATH. You can look it up online how to do this.
If that's not the issue, Try running it using this command "python -m auto_py_to_exe" in your terminal.
@@coderslegacy5661 thanks for replying. I’ll give that a shot
same shit ===pyinstaller : The term 'pyinstaller' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the n
ame, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
If you are getting that error, Python is most likely not added to PATH. Have you checked to see if it?

nice i can hear the chinese within you lol
Long talking.
Nice Video but to Many ok's
who cares!!! pyinstaller takes like 48 hours if you got 500 lines of code and five Libraries!!!!!!!
Never had that kind of experience. I've compiled applications for a client before (10000 lines of code, dozens of code files) Project within 40 mins. There could be some other issue limiting you, like hardware or possibly a bug.
Even the biggest libraries like the AI ones shouldn't take that long. 48 hours is unreasonable.
OMG LESS WORDS!
You keep repeating yourself.
I punched myself in the face to keep myself focused from skipping forward because I lose you but I need the information, but you are so hard to listen to. LESS WORDS. Get to the point!
