I am using python 3.6 on Windows. I downloaded "cx_Freeze-4.3.3.win-amd64-py3.3" to make my "python script " to an exe file.
I managed to get an exe file under build folder but it doesn't work.
this is my code
#script file which I named scriptbutton.py.txt
print("hello")
And this is the code I am using for set-up script.(scriptsetup.py.txt)
import os.path
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
os.environ['TCL_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\LOCAL_TO_PYTHON\\Python35-32\\tcl\\tcl8.6"
os.environ['TK_LIBRARY'] = "C:\\LOCAL_TO_PYTHON\\Python35-32\\tcl\\tk8.6"
setup (name= 'scripting', version='3.1', description='make exe file',
executables= [Executable ("scriptbutton.py.txt", base="Win32GUI")])
this is the error message, when I double clicked on exe file.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

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>
File "site-packages\PyQt4\uic\__init__.py", line 208, in loadUiType
File "site-packages\PyQt4\uic\Compiler\compiler.py", line 140, in compileUi

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_name = "mainwindow.ui"
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_())
SOLUTION:
The main issue was occurring due to ImageTk , this can be skipped by loading image using tkinter instead of PIL.ImageTk by using this command and using this object as normal you would do with PIL.ImageTk.
my_image = PhotoImage(file ="Image location here")
MAIN ISSUE:
I'm trying to pack these files into a single executable file using pyinstaller, but after compilation, the executable file doesn't run, don't know where the error is, files in the given link, and installation log in pictures
Command Used:
pyinstaller --onefile ui.py
Where ui.py is my driver script
Files:

Build Log( Images ):
What I've already tried
tried Cx_Freeze as an alternative but no application seems to open the output file.
here is what I'm importing overall in the whole program
from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import fb
from tkinter.ttk import Progressbar
import webbrowser
from tkinter import messagebox
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import time
I was not able to access the github link in your question, I think it did not get pasted properly. So I am unable to access your source files.
Try one of these:
pyinstaller --onefile --noupx ui.py
or
pyinstaller --debug --onefile --noupx ui.py
The pyinstaller uses UPX. The documentation for pyinstaller states the following:
PyInstaller looks for UPX on the execution path or the path specified
with the --upx-dir option. If UPX exists, PyInstaller applies it to
the final executable, unless the --noupx option was given. UPX has
been used with PyInstaller output often, usually with no problems.
Hope this helps.
I am trying to create a .exe file from my Python file. My setup file contains the following code (which was generated using the PyBuilder application):
# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
sys.stdout = open('screen.txt','w')
sys.stderr = open('errors.txt','w')
setup(name='Crypto Calculator',
version='1.0',
author='RedCode',
data_files=[],
windows=[{'script':'Crypto Calculator.py',
'icon_resources':[(1,'')],
}])
print("---Done---")
When I run the command pyinstaller setup.pyw I get the IndexError: tuple out of range error. When I try running the pyinstaller command on my actual application's file, it still gives me the same error.
How can I correct this problem and successfully create a Python exe file.
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 packed a python program (involving PyQT4) with py2exe, the exe file run normally on my machine, but when i copy it to another machine, error occurred like following (in log file):
File "PyQt4\QtGui.pyc", line 12, in
File "PyQt4\QtGui.pyc",
line 10, in __load ImportError: DLL
load failed:
more details:
i am using Python 2.5.
MSVCR71.dll is available in the same directorywith the exe file.
my setup.py script:
# coding: utf-8
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
#this allows to run it with a simple double click.
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
script = [{
"script":"test.py",
'icon_resources':[(0, 'main.ico'),]
}]
py2exe_options = {
"includes":["sip",],
"dll_excludes": ["MSVCP90.dll",]
}
setup(windows=script, options={'py2exe':py2exe_options})
You need to distribute the pyqt4 dlls with your exe for it to run on computers where pyqt4 is not installed. You should be able to find the dlls in something like C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\bin
To package the dlls with your exe you can use an installer like nsis or inno.
