.py to .exe [solved]

Question

I’ve been having problems trying to convert my py files to executables on Windows 10. I installed pyinstaller and have been trying with that but with no luck. When I try to run the exe it fails. I am using python version 3.6 and I’m not sure if it’s a compatibility issue with the python version or with Windows 10 or if something else entirely is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

So i figured out my problem. I was creating a Tkinter application that used an icon, and pyinstaller doesnt automatically add necessary files so i had to copy the icon file to the folder with the exe and it worked fine

Answer 2

It is the compiler (PyInstaller). Use py2exe.
