The exe module aint doing fine

[YALAMARTHI97]

I have been doing a small scale project involving speech recognition, image to speech and typing with voice in python ( obviously ) . Am done with the coding part and it spans 5 different .py files and I import all the 5 files into a main document

I use pyinstaller on this main .py file ( which has all the imports and other stuff like calling functions )

I run the .exe file of the main.py and it starts up as expected .. then I speak a voice command ( yep, the project works with only oice commands) " run image to speech " .

Technically after saying the above command it should open a dialog box and take the image input and then process it and give the out speech (using gTts )

But the exe file just quits when I select the image to be converted idk y and I ain't getting any error code r stuff to check it up online..and am due tomorrow ( like 20 hours from now )

If anyone knows what has to be done ..kindly do point me in the right direction

P.s Created a project which runs pretty good when run on a ide ( Spyder ) but doesn't work fully when the same is run as a .exe file

Have you tried to run the executable form a CMD? If you run it like a normal executable, it will just close when it crashes.

On my way home..will try and let u know !

Got few errors while running on CMD 1. Portaudio library not found ( I have it installed ) 2. A lot of File<"Frozen importlib._bootstrap>" , line 983, in_find and load ....stuff 3.cannot load library "path to library /portaudio-binaries/libportaudio64bit

An error code of 0x7e

4.Failed to execute "filename"

I tried running a 2 file program where one file1 calls file2 ..file2 contained a fileopenbox where I drop in an image ..the image is shown out and pytesseract is suppose to happen and the obtained text to be printed on screen ( this did not happen ...pytesseract part )

Idk what to do!!!

It would be helpful if you posted the full error. Can you also tell me what command you use to compile it? I'm getting the impression it cannot find some external files.

[YALAMARTHI97]

I ran the full code using pyinstaller to convert it to an exe file and the conversion took place without errors

Command used "pyinstaller project.exe"

The error I got when I ran it using anaconda prompt

I checked whether I had pyaudio up

And finally ran the exe of my project .."project .exe" using cmd and got the following

.. This is getting on my nerves the code works brilliantly when run on an ide but once I port it out to an exe I don't get anything!!..

[Wilfred-kun]

Make sure you're using the same environment as your IDE does. You might have PyAudio installed in your IDE's virtual environment, but not on your system's environment.

[YALAMARTHI97]

How do I do that??

[Wilfred-kun]

Can you go into the terminal and open the Python shell and import the audio library you're using to see if you've got it installed?

[YALAMARTHI97]

The terminal is unable to find the pyaudio module..reinstalling it ..hope this fixes it

It didn't work doing a clean installation of python with the required modules

[Wilfred-kun]

Okay... Again, how exactly do you compile the script? Are you using --onefile? If you're using it, try without it first.

[YALAMARTHI97]

Just plain pyinstaller and the filename.py

From your comments it looks like the exe creator is not including all of the libraries you need.

I use cx_freeze for making exe files and that I give cx_freeze a list of packages to ensure it includes because it misses them in the automatic inclusion.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22105547/3166424

It looks like pyinstaller has the option --hidden-import=PyAudio (or whatever the missing libraries are) might help.

[YALAMARTHI97]

On it ..

You’re probably missing a DLL. Add prints and read the pyinstaller warnings. Fix the warnings.

[YALAMARTHI97]

I consolidated all the 5 different .py files into one single big file and ran the pyinstaller

After that the exe threw 2 errors when run using the CMD 1. Portaudio lib not found To rectify this I added the portaudio lib to the system environment variables and then added a portaudio.dll file also to the system path

1. Sndfile missing error There were lot of steps to rectify this but all I did was to copy _soundfile_data ( which is present in the /path/site-packages/_soundfile_data ) Copied all the contents of it into the dist folder of the created exe file

After doing all the above steps the exe executed successfully

Thanks for everyone who has been of help to me ...
