Size of .exe bigger and bigger

[Felipe Morrison]

Hello, I'm using python 3.9.16, first time i made an .exe it was aprox 400mb of size then added 3 lines of code and it went to 800mb aprox. Then did the same process (add more lines and made .exe again since its a code i keep changing and adding stuff). The problem right now is the .pkg at build folder size is more than 5gb and i think is oversize and cant even make the .exe now.  ¿What could be the problem? 
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I make the .exe in windows at cmd with this:

python -m PyInstaller main.spec

Also here are the imported packages:

import time
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout

You're the only one in a position to answer that question. Look inside your application. What files are taking up the most space? Are there any there that shouldn't be?

Hi Filipe,

 

As an educated guess I would think that your build process does not include deleting the previous build and that pyInstaller is incrementally adding all of the things that it thinks you need. Also, given the large size of the exe I would guess that you are either using Anaconda rather than an install from python.org or that you are building with your default python environment rather than a virtual environment containing just the packages that you need.

 

Is that any help?

 

Steve
