python .exe无法正常工作

Question

I downloaded pyinstaller in order to turn my python scripts into an executable program. I have a main script ((homepage.py) that, when ran, it would display a window with two buttons (button1 and button2). Each of the two buttons, if clicked, would run its corresponding python script (input1.py or input2.py) that displays a window where the user inputs data to be graphed in excel.

My scripts work correctly when I run them in Spyder through Anaconda. However, when I turn my main script (Homepage.py) into an executable program and run it, the main window with the two buttons appear, but when I click any of the two buttons, the corresponding window does not appear and the program closes. Does anyone know why that would happen? Do I need to turn my input1.py and input2.py into .exe programs as well like I did with homepage.py?

In my scripts, when I need click any of the buttons, I would hide the main window and show the new window. Would hiding and showing be what is causing my program to not function correctly even if it is working in Spyder?

main window (homapge.py) imports and class name,

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from input1 import Ui_input1
from input2 import Ui_input2

class Ui_homepage(object):

button1 (input1.py) imports and class name,

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
import csv, os, subprocess, output1

class Ui_input1(object):

button2 (input2.py) imports and class name,

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
import csv, os, subprocess, output2

class Ui_input2(object):

Also, inside both of input1.py and input2.py, I have a button function that returns to the main window (homepage.py) when clicked, and inside that function I import,

from homepage import Ui_homepage

At the end of homepage.py, input1.py, and input2.py I have this import,

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

Let me know if you need any more clarification or code.

EDIT 1:

The code that I use in the main window (homepage.py) that calls button1,

self.button1.clicked.connect(self.displayWindow1)

def displayWindow1(self):
    self.window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    self.uiInput1 = Ui_input1()
    self.uiInput1.setupUi(self.window)
    self.homepage.hide()
    self.window.showMaximized()

The code that I use in the main window (homepage.py) that calls button2,

self.button2.clicked.connect(self.displayWindow2)

def displayWindow1(self):
    self.window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    self.uiInput2 = Ui_input1()
    self.uiInput2.setupUi(self.window)
    self.homepage.hide()
    self.window.showMaximized()

EDIT 2 :

I tried running the program after I changed,

from input1 import Ui_input1
from input2 import Ui_input2

to,

import input1 
import input2

I got this error in the command prompt window after typing pyinstaller --onefile --windowed homepage.exe ,

and I got these errors in a warnhomepage.txt file,

UPDATE:

I was able to fix my problem. It turned out to be a very simple solution. After I clicked one of the buttons the program closed, but a command prompt window appeared and disappeared within a millisecond that I did not notice before until it was mentioned to me in the solution below. The solution was moving all of the data files that input1.py and input2.py use into the dist file with the .exe program.

PS: some recording programs are too slow to record the window that appears and disappears, so I tried with my smartphone (iPhone) camera and it was able to detect it.

Answer 1

I had a very similar problem, the issue was a missing module(s). Your exe may use other modules that pyinstaller did not detect. For me, as soon as I imported Decimal module my exe worked like a charm! When your homepage.exe closes/crashes, it tells you which module is missing. You will only have a millisecond to see it, I recorded my screen and slowed down the footage to see the error message. Unconventional, perhaps, but worked for me!

Answer 2

It looks like you've ran into this issue here (basically the same as you but they're using TKinter).

The suggestion ( link again ) was to import the entire file like a module into your homepage.py program.

So change:

from input1 import Ui_input1
from input2 import Ui_input2 

To:

import input1 
import input2 

Let me know how it works out :-)
