I have converted one .py file to .exe. The exe file created by this, is not working , it is closing automatically. In that application, I am supposed to take take two inputs. But screen is not staying.
I am using python 3.6 version. I have used cx_freeze library for this.
I have mentioned the code below which I used to create .exe for setup.py
Setup.py
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(name = "html_guid_compare",
version = "1.0",
description = "Comparing two htm files for guid difference",
executables = [Executable(r"htm_guid_compare2.py")]
)
Input code:
path1 = input("Enter the First folder path:")
path2 = input("Enter the second folder path:")
when clicked on .exe file. It is not showing the screen, the screen is terminated.

I'm trying to export my .py script to .exe using PyInstaller, which has dependencies on .ui files which were created using Qt Designer.
I can confirm that my .py script works just fine when running it through PyCharm - I'm able to see the GUI I've created with the .ui files.
However, when I export my .py script to .exe and launch it, I recieve the following errors in the command line:
C:\Users\giranm>"C:\Users\giranm\PycharmProjects\PyQt Tutorial\dist\secSearch_demo.exe"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "secSearch_demo.py", line 13, in <module>

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\giranm\\securitySearchForm.ui'
Failed to execute script secSearch_demo
For some reason, the .exe file is looking for the .ui file within the path - C:\Users\giranm\
However, having done some research already, I was told that I needed to use os.getcwd() and ensure that I have the full path in my script. Even with the code below, I still get errors trying to locate the .ui files.
PyInstaller: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
# import relevant modules etc...
cwd = os.getcwd()
securitySearchForm = os.path.join(cwd, "securitySearchForm.ui")
popboxForm = os.path.join(cwd, "popbox.ui")
Ui_MainWindow, QtBaseClass = uic.loadUiType(securitySearchForm)
Ui_PopBox, QtSubClass = uic.loadUiType(popboxForm)
# remainder of code below.
I'm aware that one can convert .ui files to .py and import them into the main routine using pyuic4. However, I will be making multiple edits to the .ui files
and thus it is not feasible for me to keep converting them.
Is there anyway to fix this so that I can create a standalone .exe?
I'm fairly new to using PyQT4 and PyInstaller - any help would be much appreciated!
After scratching my head all weekend and looking further on SO, I managed to compile the standalone .exe as expected using the UI files.
Firstly, I defined the following function using this answer
Bundling data files with PyInstaller (--onefile)
# Define function to import external files when using PyInstaller.
def resource_path(relative_path):
""" Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
try:
# PyInstaller creates a temp folder and stores path in _MEIPASS
base_path = sys._MEIPASS
except Exception:
base_path = os.path.abspath(".")
return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)
Next I imported the .UI files using this function and variables for the required classes.
# Import .ui forms for the GUI using function resource_path()
securitySearchForm = resource_path("securitySearchForm.ui")
popboxForm = resource_path("popbox.ui")
Ui_MainWindow, QtBaseClass = uic.loadUiType(securitySearchForm)
Ui_PopBox, QtSubClass = uic.loadUiType(popboxForm)
I then had to create a resource file (.qrc) using Qt Designer and embed images/icons using this resource file. Once done, I used pyrcc4 to convert the .qrc file to .py file, which would be imported in the main script.
Terminal
C:\Users\giranm\PycharmProjects\PyQt Tutorial>pyrcc4 -py3 resources.qrc -o resources_rc.py
Python
import resources_rc
Once I have confirmed the main .py script works, I then created a .spec file using PyInstaller.
Terminal
C:\Users\giranm\PycharmProjects\PyQt Tutorial>pyi-makespec --noconsole --onefile secSearch_demo.py
As per PyInstaller's guide, I've added data files by modifying the above .spec file.
https://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/spec-files.html#adding-data-files
Finally, I then compiled the .exe using the .spec file from above.
You can simply use:
uic.loadUi(r'E:\Development\Python\your_ui.ui', self)
Use the full path, and use pyinstaller with standard arguments, and it works fine. The r prefix makes sure the backslashes are interpreted literally.
Another method, tested on Ubuntu 20.04 is to add the .ui file to the data section in the spec file. First generate a spec file with pyinstaller --onefile hello.py. Then update the spec file and run pyinstaller hello.spec.
a = Analysis(['hello.py'],
...
datas=[('mainwindow.ui', '.')],
...
The next step is to update the current directory in your Python file. To do this, the os.chdir(sys._MEIPASS) command has to be used. Wrap it in a try-catch for development use when _MEIPASS is not set.
import os
import sys
# Needed for Wayland applications
os.environ["QT_QPA_PLATFORM"] = "xcb"
# Change the current dir to the temporary one created by PyInstaller
try:
os.chdir(sys._MEIPASS)
print(sys._MEIPASS)
except:
pass
from PySide2.QtUiTools import QUiLoader
from PySide2.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PySide2.QtCore import QFile, QIODevice
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

ui_file = QFile(ui_file_name)
if not ui_file.open(QIODevice.ReadOnly):
print(f"Cannot open {ui_file_name}: {ui_file.errorString()}")
sys.exit(-1)
loader = QUiLoader()
window = loader.load(ui_file)
ui_file.close()
if not window:
print(loader.errorString())
sys.exit(-1)
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
I wrote some files in python and want to create an exe file. To do it with cx_freeze I create a setup.py file like that:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
build_exe_options = {"includes": ["tkinter"]}
# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a
# console application).
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
setup(
name = "LSR",
version = "0.1",
description = "",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("LS-R.py", base = base)])
then I write in the cmd :
python setup.py build
and I get this error:
error during GetDependentFiles() of "c:\users\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\dlls\tk86t.dll": (0, 'The system cannot find the file specified', 'c:\users\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\dlls\tk86t.dll', 2, None)

exe file created , but when I try open it I get this message :
ModuleNotFoundError:No module named 'tkinter'
someone know what is the problem? and what should I do to fix it? (I'm working in Windows OS)
Its Quite simple use;
pip install auto-py-to-exe
It will give you A GUI and is as simple as it gets. It is based on
Pyinstaller, cx-freeze, etc
See PyPI.
I was having the same problems even in Pyinstaller but this is the easiest way without any errors and is the most Effective way.
After Installation in cmd type
auto-py-to-exe
This will open a new Browser window with a beautiful and easy to use GUI.
It works for Tkinter well as I have used to to create like 50 Tkinter .exe files.
I made a program for activating windows in Tkinter with this;
See: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RKLIlGcrra1pC5MyaPWrlQa1tW25Wc_q/view
I hope this makes your job quite easy.
I have a little problem with cx_freeze and hoping one of you can help me. I have searched trough this wonderfull forum but I can't find the answer.
I have used cx_freeze before with python 3.3 and ktinker and that worked flawless.
Now I made a little tool with a bit more complex gui and tried Glade.
Building the gui with Glade works perfect for me and on Linux and Windows 7 the application I have made works fine (in python interpreter).
When I run python setup.py bdist_msi I don't see any faults but when I try to run the exe in windows I get this error window:
(I can't post images jet)
The last 4 lines are:
_load_backward_compatible
File "ExtentionLoader_gi_gi.py", line 22, in <module
File "ExtentionLoader_gi_gi.py", line 14, in_bootstrap_
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
I don't use any plugins, exotic imports so the dll's I have to load are only the dll's for Gobject. The setup file I have made from an example on this forum. For my ktinker app I did not have to import any dll.
Finally the question: Is there a list of dll's somewhere that tells me what dll's I have to add?
And is there something wrong with my setup.py?

Looking for an answer if found a utility called ListDlls.exe.
In this link is explaned how to use it:
https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/issue/92/pygi-and-cx_freeze-error
I have one application developed in python 3.2, which has inbuilt modules(ex: Tkinter, matplotlib, openpyxl), user defined modules & classes(ex: draw_graph, generate_report), icon files, log file, .csv, .docx etc. I am running this application from script(ex: testapplication.py)
I have setup file as
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
exe = Executable(
script=r"C:\Python32\testapplication.py",
base="Win32GUI",
)
setup(
name = "TESTApp",
version = "0.1",
description = "An example",
executables = [exe]
)
Now I want to create a exe file of this application. can anyone please suggest me a way to do this?
So this is what you need to do. For starters, change script=r"C:\Python32\testapplication.py" to script=r"testapplication.py"
Then, put ALL the files to need to convert into C/python32 including the setup file. Then what you wan to do is get your command line up, and type the following commands: (assuming that you're cx_freeze file is named setup.py):
cd
cd python32
python setup.py build
And then you should have a build folder in that directory containing the exe file.
I have a PyQt4 program that I froze using cx_freeze. The problem I am having is when I make a QGraphicsPixmapItem, which it is getting its' pixmap made from a SVG file, the Item gets made no problem, but the Pixmap doesn't load so there is no image just the item in the scene. The thing that confuses me is that this only happens when I am running it on a different computer than the one that built the exe. When I run the exe on the computer that built it the program works perfectly. Even when I try to run it on a computer with all the required python components and pyqt components installed on the computer, if it isn't the computer that built it, the pixmap is not loaded from the svg file. I am not sure if this is a problem with my cx_freeze setup.py file or if I need to change something in the main code so any help or just pointing me in the right direction will be great. My feeling is that something is getting messed up when cx_freeze is building it so I will paste the contents of my setup.py file below. Also I am running on Windows using Python v3.1.
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
files = ['drawings\\FULL', 'drawings\\PANEL', 'data.csv', 'panelData.csv']
binIncludes = ['C:\\Python31\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyQt4\\bin\\QtSvg4.dll']
includes = ['main', 'PunchDialog', 'ArrayDialog', 'PricingDialog', 'FontAndInputDialog', 'PanelSelector', 'PyQt4', 'os', 'sys', 'ctypes', 'csv']
packages = ['drawings']
path = ['C:\\Users\\Brock\\Documents\\Programming\\PanelDesigner\\DrawingFirst', 'C:\\Python31\\Lib', 'C:\\Python31\\Lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Python31\\DLLs']
setup(
name = 'PanelBuilder',
version = '1.0',
description = 'Allows user to draw custom panel layouts.',
author = 'Brock Seabaugh',
options = {'build_exe': {'packages':packages, 'path':path, 'include_files':files, 'bin_includes':binIncludes, 'includes':includes}},
executables = [Executable('PanelBuilder.py')])
PS. Here is my file hierarchy(if that helps at all):
\DrawingFirst
Main .py file
All .py files for all custom dialogs used
\drawings
some modules used
\FULL
A bunch of SVG files used
\PANEL
More SVG files used
This is a nasty problem I have run into myself in the past.
Let me quote http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndPyQt:
(I know you are using cx_freeze but I am sure you can adapt your script)
PyQt4 and image loading (JPG, GIF,
etc)
PyQt4 uses plugins to read those image
formats, so you'll need to copy the
folder PyQt4\plugins\imageformats to
appdir\imageformats. Like in the
above cases, you can use data_files
for this. This won't work with
bundle_files on.
If the plugins are not reachable, then
QPixmap.load/loadFromData will return
False when loading an image in those
formats.
testapp.py:
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtSvg
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
wnd = QtSvg.QSvgWidget()
wnd.load("flower.svg")
wnd.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
setup.py:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
files = ['flower.svg']
includes = ['sip', 'PyQt4.QtCore']
setup(
name = 'Example',
version = '1.337',
description = 'Allows user to see what I did there.',
author = 'something',
options = {'build_exe': {'include_files':files, 'includes':includes}},
executables = [Executable('testapp.py')])
I created this test app on a Windows 7 machine and copied it over to a Windows XP machine. I did not have to copy any dlls around - it worked just like that.
I've added a hook to cx_freeze that includes imageformats whenever PyQt4.QtGui is included in the original code. With imageformats in the right place, even the externally stored icons work.
https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/pull-request/11/added-pyqt4qtgui-load-hook-that-adds/diff
For people coming here from Google: if you only use QtWebKit, you do need to copy the imageformats dir (which you find in PYTHONDIR\lib\site-packages\PyQt4\plugins) into your app dir. Specifying PyQt4.QtWebKit among the includes is not enough.
