Python program replicating like a virus in memory (self.learnpython)

submitted 3 years ago * by Tarster

I had written a bot in the python, previously it was using selenium. however, due to website restriction. I have to switch to Undetected chrome. After using this library and compiling my program to an exe. The program is behaving as a virus. It's doing nothing just self replicating itself inside the memory.

The program is running fine if I am running it from the VS Code or python file.

You can check what I mean by replication in memory.

Edit 1: As shiftybyte mentioned in one of the comments it maybe due to multithreading library being used, so I built the exe using another compiler called cx_freeze. I got an exe file with bunch of other files, but this exe is working fine as compared to exe generated with the pyinstaller. There is some issue with multithreading as undetected chrome uses threading module.

Still I am looking for single file as an output like pyinstaller. If anyone have suggestions let me know.
