[Elliot Garbus]

What is the error?

Are there any error messages in the kivy log?

I don't know how to use pyinstaller. kivy's official document is confusing me. I also want to know how to include kv, app icon,  images and various files in app.  please guide me. Thank you in advance

Tell me whole process please

Here is a video that gives you an overview of how Pyinstaller works.  I found it helpful.  https://youtu.be/tOTLqUQC-k0

 

Here are directions and a spec file (below) I use.

I will assume you have a project directory that includes your .py files.  Create a sub directory and put the spec file in it.  I call it W10.spec.

On the console switch the to same directory the spec file is located in:

>pyinstaller -spec W10.spec

 

This will build a multi-file bundle.  I then use the Inno Soft setup compiler to build a windows installer.  Use the wizard, it is easy.

https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

 

In the spefile  you will need to edit the highlighted lines.  Provide the app_name, and the windows icon.  The datas section is a list of tuples that specify the source files and destination directory of other files you want in your bundle.   See: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/spec-files.html#adding-data-files

 

If your executable does not run, look in the kivy log file and read the traceback.  You may have missing imports.  If there are libraries or library dependencies that are missing I add them as imports in the python code to minimize edits to the specfile.

I’d assume you want your data to be in a Data subdirectory… You can look in the created dist directory and look where your files are located.

 

datas=[('testing.kv', '.'),

              ('/Data/Document.txt', './Data')
              ('/Data/icon.jpg', './Data')
              ('/Data/testbg.jpg', './Data')],

you could make things simpler and use a wildcard.

datas=[('testing.kv', '.'),

             ('/Data/*.*', './Data')],
