PyInstaller Script Not found Error

Question

I made a script for an app and it works perfectly, and now I'm trying to use PyInstaller to execute it into an .app. I'm running the latest mac os version. It seems like PyInstaller can't find my script but it's spelled correctly and it actually exists. This is what I get:

Air-Andrej:~ Andrey$ pyinstaller -F --onefile bb.py

Answer 1

I just figured it out. It was expecting me to put the whole directory in, so that means that the computer was trying to find the file in the wrong directory or just stopped at a certain point.

Answer 2

Air-Andrej:~ Andrey$ pyinstaller -F --onefile bb.py

Rename you .py file remove the space between your file name that is between the onefile and bb.py

Air-Andrej:~ Andrey$ pyinstaller -F --onefilebb.py

it should look like this

Answer 3

pyinstaller -F --onefile bb 

Remove the .py extension because although you have a python script, when you save it from a text editor it does not append the .py to your file. Works like a charm.
