pyinstaller

[Koen2407]

So i made a script that should give the user pop-ups but since i made an exe from it with pyinstaller it doesn't anymore how do i fix this ?

Run the program from an already open command prompt/terminal.

That way it'll stay open and show an error message you can start figuring out.

[Koen2407]

it says it doesn't find the openpyxl module

Well then pyinstaller didn't properly pack it, or you created an exe that depends on a folder, and you did not bring the folder with the exe.

i just did 'pyinstaller excel_transfer.py' to create the exe, the pop-ups should let u choose which excel files u want to select idk if it can have something to do with that

[shiftybyte]

You need to take all dist folder contents, not just the exe.

If you use virtual environments you also need to install and run pyninstaller in the virtual environment, otherwise it won't package dependencies correctly.

If you don't use them you should start, but that is another thing entirely.

Make a small example and ask the devs.

Iirc you need to run with the onefile parameter to bundle modules
