使用 pyinstaller 生成 exe 文件的错误 - typeerror: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

Question

I am trying to build an .exe file from .py file using pysinstaller and Python 3.7.2.

It worked with Python 3.6; then I re-installed the last version of Python (3.7.2) and tried to generate an exe file, but pyinstaller barfs.

Below is the error report I get.

(venv) C:\Users\user\Desktop\untitled1>pyinstaller test.py

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

我发现了以下解决办法：更换bindepend.py从<myProject_path>\\venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyInstaller\\depend与Loran425在GitHub上提供的文件在这里

Answer 2

As I have read from many forums here and here and discussions regarding this issue caused by Pyinstaller. If you are using Pycharm or any virtual environment. Unfortunatelly Pycharm creates its local vertual environment in venv path once you indicate the interpreter . So, you should set the external tool (pyinstaller) to the real path of your python 3.7 .exe as the picture shows here.

For Linux users, follow my other answer here .

Answer 3

In my case the problem occurs when I'm using the standard library's venv , but not when I'm using virtualenv . (However I had to use virtualenv==16.1.0 because of another bug .)

Answer 4

The bug was resolved in version 3.6 of PyInstaller. Just update and will work fine.

Answer 5

It may be from an ill-formed spec file, something as simple (yet difficult to find) as a commented or missing argument.

When I comment out name in exe ,

exe = EXE(pyz,
          a.scripts,
          a.binaries,
          a.zipfiles,
          a.datas,
          [],
          # name='my_app',
          debug=False,
          bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
          strip=False,
          upx=True,
          upx_exclude=[],
          runtime_tmpdir=None,
          console=True,
          icon='resources/icons/icon.ico',
          version='resources/version/version.py')

I get the following traceback:

The application builds when name is included.
