I tried both for a current project and decided to use cx_freeze. I found it easier to get started. It has an option to bundle dependencies in a zip archive, which makes it easy to check that everything was properly included. I had trouble getting PyInstaller to include certain egg dependencies. It couldn’t handle conditional … Read more
There is a suite of tools from the cloudmatrix guys that addresses that problem. esky is an auto-update framework for frozen apps that is compatible with the common python “packaging” frameworks. signedimp tries to ensure that apps are not modified after they are signed, and to minimize invasive Windows UAC dialogs. myppy aims to insulate … Read more
Suppose you had a file called create.py like def square (num) return num ** 2 Another file in the same directory called input.py from . import create def take_input(): x = input(“Enter Input”) return create.square(x) And finally your main.py from . import input if __name__ == ‘__main__’: ip = input.take_input() You will call the command … Read more

This worked for me Run pyinstaller and stop it to generate the spec file : pyinstaller filename.py A file with .spec as extension should be generated Now add the following lines to the beginning of the spec file : import sys sys.setrecursionlimit(5000) Now run the spec file using : pyinstaller filename.spec
Had a similar problem with no module named FileDialog. Discovered that with version 3.2, I could use pyinstaller –hidden-import FileDialog … instead of modifying my main script. See Listing Hidden Imports documentation
