Error while building a project

[Joshua Whopper]

Hi all,

I am trying to obtain a linux exe from a python project. I've created a file .spec, modified it according my configuration (I suppose) but I get following error when run pyinstaller index.spec

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pyinstaller-4.1-py3.5.egg/PyInstaller/building/build_main.py", line 720, in main build(specfile, kw.get('distpath'), kw.get('workpath'), kw.get('clean_build'))

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pyinstaller-4.1-py3.5.egg/PyInstaller/building/build_main.py", line 667, in build exec(code, spec_namespace) File "index.spec", line 18, in <module> noarchive=True)

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pyinstaller-4.1-py3.5.egg/PyInstaller/building/build_main.py", line 253, in __init__ for name, pth in format_binaries_and_datas(datas, workingdir=spec_dir):

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pyinstaller-4.1-py3.5.egg/PyInstaller/building/utils.py", line 484, in format_binaries_and_datas for src_root_path_or_glob, trg_root_dir in binaries_or_datas:

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

and this is the file .spec. Its the first time I try build an exe so Im not sure the file .spec is correct

# -*- mode: python ; coding: utf-8 -*-

[bwoodsend]

datas=[‘fs.png’,’fsu.png’,’garnet.png’,’gg.png’,’logo_mambo.png’,’ohio.png’,’logo_auser.jpg’]

That’s not the correct format for data files. Each file should be a (source, destination) pair. You probably just want:

datas=[('fs.png', '.'), ('fsu.png', '.'), ('garnet.png', '.'), ('gg.png', '.'), ('logo_mambo.png', '.'), ('ohio.png', '.'), ('logo_auser.jpg', '.')]

which will dump each image in the root of your application.
