I already found similar answers, but no tips helped me, maybe now I can figure it out. I replaced the real names and username with conditional names. I am trying to compile a project with the command: pyinstaller --clean main.spec The contents of the main.spec file:
import sys
import os
from kivy.tools.packaging.pyinstaller_hooks import get_deps_all
from kivy.tools.packaging.pyinstaller_hooks import hookspath
block_cipher = None
a = Analysis(
['/home/user/projects/My_Client/main.py'],
pathex=[]
binaries=[],
datas=[],
hiddenimports=['tkinter', 'My_Client_Module_1', 'My_Client_Module_2'],
hookspath=hookspath(),
hooksconfig={},
runtime_hooks=[],
excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=block_cipher,
noarchive=False,
**get_deps_all()
)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data, cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(
pyz,
a.scripts,
[],
exclude_binaries=True,
name='main',
debug=False,
bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
console=True,
disable_windowed_traceback=False,
argv_emulation=False,
target_arch=None,
codesign_identity=None,
entitlements_file=None,
)
coll = COLLECT(
exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=True,
upx_exclude=[],
name='main',
)
I am getting the following error while building the project:

I already tried to update pyinstaller-hooks, not sure if it was done correctly. Tried adding tkinter to hideimports.
**get_deps_all() will produce following lists:
binaries
hiddenimports
excludes
so you have to remove them from Analysis block:
a = Analysis(
['/home/user/projects/My_Client/main.py'],
pathex=[]
#binaries=[],
datas=[],
#hiddenimports=['tkinter', 'My_Client_Module_1', 'My_Client_Module_2'],
hookspath=hookspath(),
hooksconfig={},
runtime_hooks=runtime_hooks(),
#excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=block_cipher,
noarchive=False,
**get_deps_all()
)
otherwise you will end up with following errors during build:
WARNING: stderr: TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'binaries'
WARNING: stderr: TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'hiddenimports'
WARNING: stderr: TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'excludes'
Also you forgot to add following import on top of spec file:
from kivy_deps import sdl2, glew
and include required data within COLLECT block:
coll = COLLECT(
exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
*[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins)],
strip=False,
upx=True,
upx_exclude=[],
name='main',
)
Otherwise build process will succeed, but when you try to launch app, you will face with errors like:
[WARNING] [Image ] Unable to load image <...\kivy_install\data\glsl\default.png>
[CRITICAL] [Window ] Unable to find any valuable Window provider. Please enable debug logging (e.g. add -d if running from the command line, or change the log level in the config) and re-run your app to identify potential causes
sdl2 - Exception: SDL2: Unable to load image
Also don't forget to manually copy all your additional files like images (.png), kv files (.kv), any other files you added to your project dir after build. They won't be automatically copied into "dist" folder unless you specify them within "datas" list. For example, to add all *.kv and *.png files from your root project directory:
datas=[('*.kv', '.'), ('*.png', '.')]
If you have additional files located within for example "my_files" folder, then you have to add it too:
datas=[('*.kv', '.'), ('*.png', '.'), ('my_files\\*', 'my_files')]
