PyInstaller and Python3.6 - Tuple Index

Question

I wrote a small Python program, and most of the people who run it will be Windows users. I tried using pyinstaller and py2exe on two different devices: one with Windows and the other with arch-linux.

I reinstalled it more than once using pyinstall install pyinstaller --no-cache

I always get the same error:

So in this case, I just used testcript containing:

 #!/usr/bin/env python3.6 print("hello world") 

so that there are no problems with import, etc.

Answer 1

Pyinstaller does not yet support Python 3.6. You can go back to Python 3.5 or try the cx_Freeze solution mentioned ... not sure what it does, although I think it replaces it.

Answer 2

I ran into the same issue with python 3.6 and pyinstaller and first used cx_Freeze . It worked like a charm!

The contents of Setup.py:

 import cx_Freeze exe = [cx_Freeze.Executable("downloads_folder.py")] cx_Freeze.setup( name = "downloads", version = "1.0", options = {"build_exe": {"packages": ["errno", "os", "re", "stat", "subprocess","collections","pprint","shutil", "humanize","pycallgraph"], "include_files": []}}, executables = exe) 

Run cmd in the directory where setup.py is and run the following command: python setup.py build .

The executable file will be found in the assembly directory created by running cx_Freeze.

Answer 3

The same thing here, I am also new and got the same problem as you. I got stuck for about 6 hours and tried everything. Finally, I also set cx_freeze and worked

pip install cx_freeze
