iconipy and pyinstaller issue

I would like to ask you for help with creation of .exe file from python script where I use customtkinter, iconipy libraries.

After creation of .exe file I finished with this error: Error after runnig .exe file avter converting Myin.py

My python code:

from PIL import Image
from customtkinter import CTk, CTkFrame, CTkImage, CTkButton
from iconipy import IconFactory 

def Create_Icon(Icon_Set: str, Icon_Name: str, Icon_Size: str, Theme_index: int) -> Image:
    Icon_Fact = IconFactory(
        icon_set = Icon_Set,
        icon_size = 40,
        font_size = 30,
        font_color = "#FFFFFF",
        outline_width = 0,
        outline_color = None,
        background_color = None,
        background_radius = 0)
    Icon_PIL = Icon_Fact.asPil(Icon_Name)
    return Icon_PIL

def Get_CTk_Icon(Icon_Set: str, Icon_Name: str, Icon_Size: str) -> CTkImage:
    Picture = CTkImage(
        light_image = Create_Icon(Icon_Set=Icon_Set, Icon_Name=Icon_Name, Icon_Size=Icon_Size, Theme_index=0),
        dark_image =Create_Icon(Icon_Set=Icon_Set, Icon_Name=Icon_Name, Icon_Size=Icon_Size, Theme_index=1),
        size = (40, 40))
    return Picture

def Get_Button_Icon(Frame: CTk|CTkFrame, Icon_Set: str, Icon_Name: str, Icon_Size: str, Button_Size: str) -> CTkFrame:
    Frame_Button = CTkButton(
        master = Frame,
        width = 40,
        height = 40,
        corner_radius = 0,
        border_width = 0,
        bg_color = "transparent",
        fg_color = "transparent",
        hover = False,
        anchor = "center",
        text = "")
    CTK_Image = Get_CTk_Icon(Icon_Set=Icon_Set, Icon_Name=Icon_Name, Icon_Size=Icon_Size)
    Frame_Button.configure(image=CTK_Image, text="")
    return Frame_Button

window = CTk()

Icon_Theme = Get_Button_Icon(Frame=window, Icon_Set="lucide", Icon_Name="sun-moon", Icon_Size="Header", Button_Size="Picture_Theme")
Icon_Theme.configure(text="")

Icon_Theme.pack(side="top", fill="none", expand=False, padx=5, pady=5)

# run
window.mainloop()

I use anaconda for virtual environment where I have only:

prefix: C:\Users\CZ011845\AppData\Local\miniconda3\envs\ENV-Iconipy_Pyinstaller

I installed only python by "conda install python" and then these 3 by pip:

  1. pip install customtkinter
  2. pip install iconipy
  3. pip install pyinstaller

and I convers the main.py to .exe (in Anaconda):

  1. run: conda activate ENV-Iconipy_Pyinstaller
  2. cd to correct project path
  3. run: pyinstaller --name Test --onedir --windowed main.py
  4. Add path and files into folder "_internal" (because without that there are issues)
  • Path: "_internal/iconipy/assets/lucide/"
  • Empty file1: info.json
  • Empty file2: version.txt

If I run code in terminal it is correct and I receive this window:

Sucessfull run through terminal

Solution

  • Soved by adding iconipy "assets" folder into "_internal" as whole folder inside pyinstaller .spec file + add "iconipy" as hiddenimports: Soluiont
