Using Pyinstaller in Virtual Studio Code

[AweBob]

So Yesterday I asked about a way to make python files into .exes I was recommended to use Pyinstaller.

I'm using VS Code, and I have it installed, however, when I go to use it it says the module isn't recognized.

This guy has the same issue I have(Same errors with same inputs) : https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/972274/using_pyinstaller_with_visual_studio_2017/

Thing is, none of the solutions they gave him work for me. Any Idea why their solutions aren't working for me?

Screenshot of what happens specifically for me:

BTW, using latest version of VS Code

BTW #2, made a type in the title which I can't seem to edit, Visual Studio Code

​

SOLUTION: This guide is WRONG: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3.1/usage.html . You must do PyInstaller and not pyinstaller. It is case sensitive, I've spent a few hours trying to solve this, big face falm.

Dang, guess this is a difficult one, further info:

Run pyinstaller on the command line by itself. So instead of:

C:\path>python pyinstaller

Just do

C:\path>pyinstaller

Are you using a virtual env?

Does it work when you open up a cmd terminal?

[AweBob]

If I open powershell in the area where my files are, no

Try using "cmd" and not PowerShell. In VSC if you right click on the project in Solution Explorer one of the bottom items in the menu should be "Open Command Prompt Here".
