Pyscreenshot doesn't work with PyQt5(Pyinstaller)

When I am running my app from IDE, it works great, but if I run app built with PyInstaller, pyscreenshot.grab works like MainWindow.show(). I tried 3 different backends(PyQt5; PIL; default) and none of them work. If you dont understood me, you can watch video

If I close window, an error appears:

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "threading.py", line 926, in _bootstrap_inner

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pyscreenshotmrgm1pkk\\screenshot.png'

P.S. I am using dev version of PyInstaller, because I need TensorFlow support

Solution

  • Using PIL.ImageGrab.grab() instead of ps.grab() fixed problem
