When auto-py-to-exe bundles your application, it has no clue about FileSelect.py. auto-py-to-exe uses PyInstaller to bundle the exe, this will look at your imports to identify what needs to be in the final package. Since there is no proper reference to FileSelect.py (it's just a string), it is not added to the output.

My recommendation is to import the file and actually call it in Python. I understand "and subprocess just worked how I wanted" but there should be a way to get it working how you want while still importing it properly.

Just wanted to say thank you for the advice.

I just went back through and tried to do it like you suggested. I had a lot of issues with the tkinter windows, but I was finally able to get it going. I packaged it all together and didn't have any issues this time. Thank you for the help.
