使用PyInstaller将.py转换为.exe时，如何修复丢失模块的问题？

Question

I started scraping in Python using Scrapy in PyCharm few weeks ago. I found out about PyInstaller , which I used to make executable. The problem is that whenever I run .exe file, it opens and closes instantly.

I found out that I get a lot of warnings when creating .exe like this ones bellow:

5666 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\\users\\luka-pc\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python37\\python37.dll
5756 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\\users\\luka-pc\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python37\\python37.dll
8482 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\\users\\luka-pc\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python37\\DLLs_hashlib.pyd 8576 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\\users\\luka-pc\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python37\\DLLs\\select.pyd 8684 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\\users\\luka-pc\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python37\\DLLs_bz2.pyd

Running .exe file through Command Prompt says that the Scrapy module is missing, tried to fix it by adding --paths parameter to PyInstaller command when creating .exe but didn't work. I already tried reinstalling pyinstaller but no effects.

I'd like to be able to run scraper from my PC and on other PC-s also.

if it works on your IDE then try to pack script to single package using below command

pyinstaller --onefile myscript.py

It will include all the required libraries in the package. Also update the libraries which available on machine, that will help you to include missing files/dll's
