pyinstaller 代码无法按预期工作后？

Question

Code

This code works fine when it's.py. The second i use pyinstaller with this "pyinstaller.exe --one-file --windowed --icon=app.ico BootcampManager.py" acts weird and does not do what it normally do. It's stuck "Updating status". None of the buttons works.

Answer 1

try replacing --onefile with --onedir :

pyinstaller.exe --onedir --windowed --icon=app.ico BootcampManager.py

if that doesnt work, then try converting from .py to .pyw and get rid of --windowed

pyinstaller.exe --onedir --icon=app.ico BootcampManager.pyw

EDIT

from my experience with pyinstaller , when the exe is behaving "weird" , its because all the libraries ( DLLs ) are statically linked into the executable, that is what --onefile means.

when you link them dynamically ( --onedir ), they are imported at runtime or "when they are imported", so the executable doesnt need to load all the libraries after you open it. meaning that the executable will be faster and more efficient .

Answer 2

This may not be the direct answer for OPs issue. But I had the same issue in MacOS. In my case, I was trying to write a file in the same path as executable.

with open("myFile.txt", 'w') as f:
            f.write("Some texts")

This works when I run from code, but when I create the executable using pyinstaller --onefile and executes it, it extracs itself into home folder and try to run inside there, where it doesn't have write access. So it fails. I couldn't see an error log anywhere as well.

The solution was to use absolute paths.

with open("/Users/kmchmk/Documents/myProject/dist/myFile.txt", 'w') as f:
            f.write("Some texts")

This issue occured only in MacOS with --onefile option. I've tried Windows and Ubuntu and didn't have any issues.
