Building one file executable with PyInstaller

[igorag...@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I have python 3.8 and kivy - python application, which is running without any problem. Now I trying to build "onefile" executable from it following instructions: https://kivy.org/doc/stable/guide/packaging-windows.html.

Everything goes smoothly until the very last step: to run PyInstaller with edited .spec file, I'm getting: "NameError: name 'sdl2' is not defined". 

Before of it I did install sdl2 together with kivy:

python -m pip install kivy[full] kivy_examples

python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2==0.3.* kivy.deps.glew 

python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer 

python -m pip install kivy.deps.angle

Does anybody has any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.

I do a single directory build using Pyinstaller.  I have never done a successful one file executable. 

On Windows I then use the Inno Setup compiler to build a Windows Installer: https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

 

Here is an example of my spec file for Windows.  I create a directory under my project directory call my_project_dist and put the spec file in that directory.  All of the directories that Pyinstaller creates are created under that directory.  This has an impact on the paths I use in my spec file.

 

# -*- mode: python -*-


import os
from kivy_deps import sdl2, glew

spec_root = os.path.abspath(SPECPATH)
block_cipher = None
app_name = 'My App Name'
win_icon = '../Images/app_design_icon.ico'

a = Analysis(['../main.py'],
             pathex=[spec_root],
             datas=[('../*.kv', '.'),                    # These will need to be customized for your app
                    ('../Images/*.png', './Images')],
             hiddenimports=['win32timezone'],            # this is a dependency for filechooser
             hookspath=[],
             runtime_hooks=[],
             excludes=[],
             win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
             win_private_assemblies=False,
             cipher=block_cipher,
             noarchive=False)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
             cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
          a.scripts,
          [],
          exclude_binaries=True,
          name=app_name,
          debug=False,
          bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
          strip=False,
          upx=False,
          console=False,
          icon=win_icon)
coll = COLLECT(exe,
               a.binaries,
               a.zipfiles,
               a.datas,
               *[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins)],
               strip=False,
               upx=False,
               name=app_name)
