When I run the executable on my Mac OSX, I get an error message in terminal saying:

[6845] Error loading Python lib '/Users/adwaya/Documents/Loginfunds/exe/dist/LoginAndFunds/Python': dlopen: dlopen(/Users/adwaya/Documents/Loginfunds/exe/dist/LoginFunds/Python, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:

I am using python 3.8 which is the latest version at time of writing however I did install pyinstaller 4.0.dev0 using pip3 so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

PyInstaller doesn’t support Python 3.8.It’s probably just that. Grab a vanilla Python 3.7 for PyInstaller-ing.

It also doesn't seem to support 3.7 beyond 3.7.6 for me

What built/ ran fine for 3.7.6 falls over with the same "code signature invalid" error for 3.7.7 and 3.7.8

Am needing to ,migrate to 3.8. Any idea when PyInstaller will support 3.8 (and 3.7.7 and 3.7.8) ?

Things that used to run fine built against 3.7.6 are now falling over when built against 3.7.7 and 3.7.8 with the same "code signature invalid" error

3.7 is close to retirement it seems. What is the status of 3.8 support? 

Thanks

Well if it’s happening on any of the 3.7s then it’s definitely not the 3.8 compatibility issue. 3.7 will certainly not be retiring soon - you should still be able to use anything from 3.5 to 3.7.7. In that case can you give us some more information on what you’re doing.

  • Full build and run trackbacks - not the last line.
  • What packages your using and their versions.
