pyinstaller: error: unrecognized arguments: B:/coding/py2exe/test.py

[Galaxy Gamer YT]

I am using the PyInstaller module in my python code. I have the module running this command:

--onefile --clean --distpath B:\\coding\\py2exe --workpath B:\\coding\\py2exe\\temp_build_folder --specpath B:\\coding\\py2exe\\temp_spec_folder --noconfirm -c B:/coding/py2exe/test.py

Code:

PyInstaller.__main__.run([

'--onefile',

'--clean',

'--distpath B:\\coding\\py2exe',

'--workpath B:\\coding\\py2exe\\temp_build_folder',

'--specpath B:\\coding\\py2exe\\temp_spec_folder',

'--noconfirm',

'-c',

'B:/coding/py2exe/test.py'

]

I don't know where I'm going wrong.

Can anyone help thx.

It’s your dist/work/spec path parameters causing the problem. They need to be written as either '--distpath=B:\\coding\\py2exe' or two separate strings '--distpath', 'B:\\coding\\py2exe'. The command line equivalent of your current Python code is

pyinstaller --onefile --clean "--distpath B:\coding\py2exe" "--workpath B:\coding\py2exe\temp_build_folder" "--specpath B:\\coding\\py2exe\\temp_spec_folder" --noconfirm -c B:/coding/py2exe/test.py

which is not valid.
