Hello everyone!

I am getting the following error message whenever I try to open my own pkg:

This is just a simple Python script that draws a picture using turtle. I used PyInstaller to create it.

Any thoughts? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Your image doesn't appear to be working. I can only see an empty box. I'd prefer a copy/paste of the error message rather than a screenshot anyway.

Thank you for replying!

My error message is: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.)

There should be more than that. Unless you’re using --windowed mode in which case please turn it off.

No, it won't even work when I use --windowed. I've tried that and it says permission denied whenever I attempt to build the bundle. Other than the error message I gave you, it just says "couldn't open PKG-00.pkg". I have tried so many things but no luck. I'm afraid that I am missing something that I am expected to do prior to attempting to bundle python code.
