So I'm just trying to create an exe from a simple hello world program using py2exe. I have created the setup file (setup.py) with the following code:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=['hello.py'])
(I have also tried setup(console=[{"script":'hello.py'}]) as per another suggestion )
I run cmd as an administrator and type C:\python27\setup.py py2exe
It then says:
error: hello.py: No such file or directory
I have the hello.py file in the same folder as the setup file. Looked at many different forums and py2exe tutorials and none seem to have answers, any help would be greatly appreciated.
You have to first navigate to that directory and then make the python call:
C:>cd C:\python27
C:\python27>python setup.py py2exe
Note: your hello.py script should also be in C:\python27 directory.

I have just prepared simple script importing some module and printing something:
from clicknium import clicknium as cc
print(cc.edge.browsers)
So I have created the venv, installed clicknium (pip3 install clicknium==0.1.9).
After that I have prepared spec file:
pyi-makespec spec_file_name script_name.py
After running the command with created .spec file:
pyinstaller spec_file_name.spec
The pyinstaller is creating the .exe file.
After running the .exe I got an error:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find assembly 'C:\Users\user_1\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI197042\clicknium\.lib\automation\ClickniumJavaBridge-32.dll'
Of course I understand the error but I'm not sure how to fix it.
When I has some problems with missing files I have added it by using --add-data while making the spec file. But It's not working for me with .dll files.
clicknium==0.1.9
pyinstaller==5.4.1
Update
Right now I'm using velow command to create .spec file:
pyi-makespec --onefile --add-data="C:\Users\...\project_name\venv\Lib\site-packages\clicknium\.lib\automation\*;clicknium\.lib\automation" --name app app.py
The error above is fixed but there is something new.
The code below causes the error:
clr.AddReference(Apath)
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\user_1\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEIxxxxxx\clicknium\.lib\automation\ClickniumJavaBridge-32.dll' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
So as I understand the .dll file is still not visible there and clicknium is still looking for the dll files in Temp files.
clicknium supplied package project/folder function, can generate the exe.
you can refer to this: https://www.clicknium.com/documents/tutorial/vscode/project_management
first, in vscode, run command "Clicknium: Create Project", you can select the current folder;
then, run command "Clicknium: Package Project", it will generate the exe file
Sometimes you have to add *.dll files to your build process in the *.spec file
Look here, there is a lot of discussion about it:
Bundling data files with PyInstaller (--onefile)
If it not work for you try using other options like one file:
pyi-makespec -F script_name.py spec_file_name
also the order need to be the script first
pyi-makespec script_name.py -n spec_file_name
I'm trying to use py2exe to create a simple exe using py2exe. Unfortunately, when I try to create even a simple py2exe, it fails.
My Python script is:
print("Hello World")
My setup script is:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console="mouse-check.py")
When I run py py2exe-installer.py py2exe I get the following output:
C:\Users\...\Python\py2exe-installer.py:1: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
from distutils.core import setup
running py2exe
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'm'
I'm using Python 3.10.4 on Windows.
My py2exe version is: 0.11.1.1
My directory structure is:
/Python
- py2exe-installer.py
- mouse-check.py
Anyone have any idea what "m" is referring to here?
The setup function requires console argument is list, you can read more details in the implementation. Or tutorial and examples here.
Your setup script should be looked like this
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=["mouse-check.py"])
I been trying to compile this program for quite some time but can't seem to figure out what is going on. From just reading the error code I'm assuming pyinstaller cannot or does not know where the needed AutoitX3_64.dll file. I've read other questions but cant seem to find a detailed answer explain how to tell my installer where the files are located.
I've tried:
pyinstaller --onefile main.py (Fail)
pyinstaller -w --onefile --add-data C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\autoit\lib\AutoItX3_x64.dll;autoit\lib main.py (Fail)
I've also dumped autoit folder in my build / dist with no success.
Any help would be greatly apriciated!
[error1][error2]
After searching this site and countless others i managed to figure out how to fix the error:
OSError: Cannot load AutoItX from path:
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI152482\autoit\lib\AutoItX3_x64.dll
The answer would be to make a spec file and tell it where the autoit files are located. Here is how!
When you run pyinstaller command it will automatically generate a filename.spec in your home dir. For example:
pyinstaller -w --onefile main.py
-w is no console --onefile is to compress all files into one executable. main.py is the file you are going to make into exe. Now you will see a filename.spec in your home dir. Edit that with the following datas and hiddenimports
datas=
[["C:\\Users\\myusername\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\Lib\\site-packages\\autoit\\lib\\AutoItX3_x64.dll", "autoit\\lib"]],
hiddenimports=["autoit.init", "autoit.autoit", "autoit.control", "autoit.process", "autoit.win" ],
Here is an example and don't forget to copy and paste the autoit\lib into your dist folder.
What I'm trying to do is compile a program I've written in Python 2.7, using pygame, into a standalone app for Mac computers. I'm working on a PC running Windows 8 with no access to a mac, so tweaking the process has been difficult.
When I run the setup file from the command prompt, I get the "text flood" (similar to what py2exe gave me when it worked to compile the windows version) and the program appears to work. It creates build and dist folders, but the dist folder has no contents. When looking at the command prompt output, the last two lines are
BASE_CFLAGS = cfg['CFLAGS']
Key Error: 'CFLAGS'
This seems to happen when py2app is trying to create the application bundle.
Here is the setup.py file I've gotten to thus far:
"""
Script for building the example.
Usage:
python setup.py py2app
"""
from setuptools import setup
NAME = 'PetCute Slide Puzzle Test'
VERSION = '0'
plist = dict(
CFBundleIconFile=NAME,
CFBundleName=NAME,
CFBundleShortVersionString=VERSION,
CFBundleGetInfoString=' '.join([NAME, VERSION]),
CFBundleExecutable=NAME,
CFBundleIdentifier='Py2App and PyGam test',
)
setup(
data_files=['Dog1.jpg', 'Dog2.jpg', 'Dog3.jpg', 'Dog4.jpg', 'Dog5.jp', 'Dog6.jpg', 'Dog7.jpg', 'Dog8.jpg', 'Dog9.jpg', 'Dog10.jpg', 'Dog11.jpg', 'Dog12.jpg', 'Dog13.jpg', 'Dog14.jpg', 'Dog15.jpg', 'Dog16.jpg', 'AYearWithoutRain.ttf'],
app=[
dict(script="PetCute_slidepuzzle.py", plist=plist),
],
setup_requires=["py2app"],
)
The data_files lists out the pictures and text file that need to be bundled with the code. I got to this by adapting the alien.py example. Please let me know if any more info is needed!
It probably had an error during compilation. I suggest you make sure you have Numpy installed, its needed for py2app to compile Pygame programs.
I have a problem with making exe using py2exe. In my project i'm using sqlalchemy with mssql module.
My setup.py script looks like:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
windows=[{"script" : "pyrmsutil.py"}],
options={"pyrmsutil" : {
"includes": ["sqlalchemy.dialects.mssql", "sqlalchemy"],
"packages": ["sqlalchemy.databases.mssql", "sqlalchemy.cresultproxy"]
}})
But when i'm starting procedure like:
python.exe setup.py py2exe
I'm receiving build log with following errors:
The following modules appear to be missing
['_scproxy', 'pkg_resources', 'sqlalchemy.cprocessors', 'sqlalchemy.cresultproxy']
And in "dist" folder i see my pyrmsutil.exe file, but when i'm running it nothing happens. I mean that executable file starts, but do nothing and ends immediately without any pyrmsutil.exe.log. It's very strange.
Can anybody help me with this error?
I know it's no an answer per se but have you tries pyInstaller? I used to use py2exe and found it tricky to get something truly distributable. pyInstaller requires a little more setup but the docs are good and the result seems better.
For solving this issue you could try searching for the mentioned dlls and placing them in the folder with the exe, or where you build it.
Looks like py2exe can't find sqlalchemy c extensions.
Why not just include the egg in the distribution, put sqlachemy in py2exe's excludes and load the egg on start?
I use this in the start script:
import sys
import path
import pkg_resources
APP_HOME = path.path(sys.executable).parent
SUPPORT = APP_HOME / 'support'
eggs = [egg for egg in SUPPORT.files('*.egg')]
reqs, errs = pkg_resources.working_set.find_plugins(
pkg_resources.Environment(eggs)
)
map(pkg_resources.working_set.add, reqs)
sys.path.extend(SUPPORT.files('*.egg'))
i use Jason Orendorff's path module (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/path.py) but you can easily wipe it out if you want.
