您可以更改 pyinstaller 认为 python.exe 所在的路径吗？

Question

I want to use pyinstaller to make standalone exe files. I used

pip install pyinstaller

first, then I got an error message I will show you in a second, so I used

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip

because I found it on a pyinstaller website. So I cd into the folder my script is in, and I think you don't need a setup.py file or anything for pyinstaller like you would need using py2exe , then I use the command

pyinstaller file.py --onefile

and I get the error message (I am translating the last part so it is not 100% accurate)

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"c:\python\python.exe" "C:\Python\Scripts\pyinstaller.exe" gtaReminder.py --onefile': System could not find the specified file.

I think pyinstaller thinks that python.exe is located in c:\python\python.exe as it says in the error message. I just opened the path and it is not. Can I somehow change this path pyinstaller thinks it can find python.exe in? I am using python 3.6.2 , pip 20.3.3 on windows 10.

Answer 1

Firstly, your command line syntax is wrong, it is always supposed to be optional arguments followed by the mandatory arguments, below is the general syntax

pyinstaller [options] script [script …] | specfile

Read the documentation here .

The correct command should be

pyinstaller --onefile file.py

The error does not suggest that pyinstaller has got the wrong python file, the fact that it could tell

Unable to create process using '"c:\python\python.exe" "C:\Python\Scripts\pyinstaller.exe"

means that it was able to find the python file and tried initiating the process but failed to perform the task altogether.
