Executable file

[melissa makonga]

Hello,

I have been trying to convert my python scripts into executable files. I am able to convert it without error but when I try to open the .exe file, I get the error "Failed to execute script". I try to run the file in the command line so I can see why it is not working but it doesn't show me anything. Also, my other executable file doesn't even launch the app. I use matplolib in both of my scripts. I am completely lost as I don't even know where to start since I don't know what is causing the problem. If someone could please help me.

Thank you

[Nurul Carvalho]

hello Melissa.

I guess that u need to execute your script.exe by prompt to see error log or recompile it with an shell-window to get log-error..

or if u have used some extra file into ur code u will need to put ur script.exein the same folder than ur script.py and retry to run it..

It sounds like you are using the `--windowed` option? If you are then don't. It means no output meaning you can never see any errors. Or possibly you are using Conda?

[Nurul Carvalho]

hmm... that sounds weird Melissa!
when we run any program by prompt (on windows) we got the log about
any error or something else that happen while it's trying to run...
can u share with me ur script package please?

No, I am only using --onefile but to package the exe I am using Pycharm.

This is what happen when I try to run it using command line

Are talking about the script that I am trying to convert or the .exe file inside the dist folder?

[Nurul Carvalho]

definitely, it's very strange...

but are u sure that u didn't use any extra file in ur script?

anyway, u can put the PressureGauge.exe file in the same folder as ur PressureGauge.py script and rerun it to see what's going next...

I am still getting the same output. Maybe it is because the file that I am working are on an external hard drive. Do you think that would cause an issue because I also tried to run it on powershell but got the same output

[melissa makonga]

for some reason, when I try to call the python script alone it does not open. I have to be in Pycharm in order to open.

Also, I was able to turn another python script into exe but I gave it to somebody else to run who was working another windows version, it could open but did not do anything

[Nurul Carvalho]

oh honey... this script requires many others modules some of them
aren't provided by pypi.org..
and others u can install by <pip install 'module_name'> command..
and u need to have the whole package to run it perfectly..
make sure u have it and first try to run the script.. then if it runs
very well u'll can compile it to an .exe file (with all his
dependencies)..

Change your filename to use `.py` instead of `.pyw`. `.pyw` will implicitly add `--windowed` which will hide error messages. *Unable to find python38.dll* normally translates to you're using the weird unsupported python from the Windows store. Instead use the official version from python.org.

[melissa makonga]

Hello, I am sorry it took me so long to give an update. I was able to package my script into an exe file but now  I am not able to run it properly. My GUI appears to be frozen instead of executing what it should do.

[Nurul Carvalho]

hi Melissa.. pycharm got new plugin (code with me) can you install it
generate and share your link for we help you more efficiently..

or try to build folder with all his modules and dependencies instead
of --one-file.. and build it with a shell window!

Hello, if you can send me the script, I will try. I had similar problem for 2 months before I overcame it.

hello Nurul,

I have tried installing code with me but I was not able to do that, so I just went ahead used pyinstaller with the --onefile- and I was able to build the .exe file but I am still having the same problem

It is a big application - would there be an easier first step?  I can do this tonight when I get home from work.

[Nurul Carvalho]

own it's a really big and laborious script..

Melissa.. Did you read the pyinstaller's guide?

it could help you with this and any other issues..

but if you already did and tried many things and nothing might solve this, maybe it is because you got a bug inside your script..

are you sure that you didn't use any extra file (like images or sounds) inside your script?

maybe you had, and your program.exe is trying to catch them.. and how it can not find them, it raises an error and interrupts the program.. 

🤔😕😓

[melissa makonga]

So an error in the program could cause thhe script to not opening at all without detecting that error? Because for the external files, I am using a folder that I include in the dist folder created after compiling the script

[Nurul Carvalho]

yes it does..
when any trouble occur inside of the script your debug got these
error.. but how you didn't make an shell window you'll can not see
these error!

try to modify your script's extension from .pyw and put only .py...

then try to rebuild your .exe file, without using "--nowindow"..

after this compilation your script will get a back-black-window like a
shell or prompt...
inside that window you'll can see any trouble that your py-debug will catch...

**(BUT BE WARNED.. IF SOME ERROR OCCUR AND YOUR PROGRAM FREEZE OR
CLOSE NEXT.. THAT WINDOW WILL ALSO CLOSE.. SO AFTER THIS BIG OPERATION
TRY TO OPEN YOUR .exe FILE FROM YOUR PROMPT AND YOU'LL CAN SEE THE
ERRORS SIMILARLY)

Sir,

I created an application which reads a text file and displays results in GUI based on the values in text file. The code is working fine with spyder (Anaconda3). However when I create exe using pyinstaller, the exe is only showing a black screen without opening GUI. Code is given below.

Can anyone help me on this.
