Running my GUI application created in PyQt5 using any IDLE or the file.py is running perfectly, however, when I converted the .py to .exe using Pyinstaller I get an error every time I try to run the .exe file for some reason a small command window pops with an error and immediately disappear I screenshot the error before it closes. Any Idea Thanks in advance
I tried to execute different commands for pyinstaller but no luck.
<pyinstaller filename -F >
<pyinstaller filename -onefile >
<pyinstaller filename >
It's an app over 900 lines and I cannot upload all of that but I think according to the error first lines. The error occurs so here are the lines of code. The problem is within importing modules I believe.
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from datetime import datetime
import time
import os, sys #importing system modules
class Ui_MyTrophiesWindow(object):
class save_txt_file(QWidget):
def GetSaveFile(self):
path = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self,"Save MyTrophies.txt here", "MyTrophies", "*.txt")
working_path = os.path.abspath(__file__)[0:-13]
file = open(str(working_path) + "Txtpath.dat", "w+")
for i in path:
file.write(str(i))
file.close()
It is very common that sometimes PyInstaller won't recognize all Qt5 dependencies especially QT core DLLs. A simple way is to just locate that file on your current Python path and feed it with add-data flag in PyInstaller. Also, I suggest you not to use upx with PyQt as it may corrupt some DLLs:
pyinstaller --noupx -F --add-data "<Python_path>/Lib/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/bin/Qt5Core.dll;./PyQt5/Qt/bin" script.py
To verify the answer suppose below example:
import traceback
import os
import sys
def func():
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
try:
if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):
print(sys._MEIPASS)
func()
print("Import OK!")
except Exception:
traceback.print_exc()
input()
After you run the executable you would see the path for Pyinstaller (something like C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI90202), go to this path and search for the Qt5Core.dll and check if it is there.
