I have a Python 3.9 / Kivy 2.0.0 app running perfectly well on Windows10 within PyCharm.
When building the exe using PyInstaller (4.5.1) the app builds, the exe starts but crashes at a certain point.
Why isn't PyInstaller able to reference data_table.py correctly?
The exception is:
File "appguides.py", line 72, in <module>
File "kivy\lang\builder.py", line 373, in load_string
File "kivy\lang\parser.py", line 402, in __init__
File "kivy\lang\parser.py", line 508, in parse
File "kivy\lang\parser.py", line 477, in execute_directives
AttributeError: module 'pmuix' has no attribute 'data_table'
At line 72 in appguides.py I have:
from appguideskv import style, APPGVersionItem
Builder.load_string(style)
and in appguideskv I have the following import statements:
#:import Factory kivy.factory.Factory
#:import dp kivy.metrics.dp
#:import PMDataTable pmuix.data_table
#:import PMTextField pmuix.textfields
#:import PMIconButton pmuix.iconbutton
The project structure is as follows:
myapp
> folder: pmuix
file: __init__.py
file: data_table.py
file: textfields.py
file: iconbutoon.py
this is the spec file:
