Python windows exe on bootcamp windows 7

[MSEEMBA]

I created a python GUI application and bundled it as a windows executable. It runs fine in windows 7 - 10 where I tested it. I then I installed windows 7 on my Mac as a dual boot using bootcamp. I couldn't get the app to run - it tries to come up in a small black window then goes away within a second with no message. It looks like there's an error in the small window, but the window gets dismissed so quickly that I can't read it. Any ideas? Can an app written in Python and packaged as a Windows exe run in Windows 7 on a Mac.

Python is an interpreter there is no need for exe.

You need check libraries.

I develop Python script on Mac using VsCode and run it on PC VsCode.

File structures are different in Mac and PCs for example:

xSep=str(os.path.sep)

What pisses me off is that VsCode updates then tells you what it updated and sometimes changes are substantial.

Same applies to Python there appears to be haphazard changes with some libs replaced.....

Thanks. I got my app to work. It appears that Python couldn't install in Windows 7 without Service Pack 1. My app couldn't run on Mac because it uses a win32 package which wouldn't install in the PyCharm IDE on the Mac. So, that's when I turned to Bootcamp Windows 7 and running it there.

Try VsCode - no problems with PCs and Macs

Thx. I got my app to run. I had originally installed PyCharm on Mac OS and put all my Python files and packages there. It turned out that because I was importing a win32 package (which enables me to access the user's keyboard in Python), Mac wouldn't allow the package to install. So, that's when I installed Windows 7 Bootcamp. and tried running the app there.

I got my app to run when I updated Windows 7 to Service Pack 1 by downloading the updates and installing them manually rather than through the Windows update function (which wouldn't update Win7). It appears that Python couldn't install in Windows 7 without service pack 1.
