How to Convert any Python File to .EXE

Convert a .py to .exe in windows. Converting python files to executable's is fairly simple and we do this using pyinstaller. This method will work for one file or for multiple files that require dependencies such as images or other modules.

Python Location: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python
[user] should be replaced with your current user

To add an icon to your .exe file to do: pyinstaller -i [iconfile] [file_name] . Making sure that your icon file is in the same directory that your cmd is in.

I was today years old when I found out you can type cmd into the file explorer address bar to open a command prompt already directed at that folder. Amazing.

I love how he don't waste a time talking about sh*t and craps. Straight to the point and doesn't say a word like 'cough!'.

For everyone receiving an error when trying to install pyinstaller:

I did some research and it appears that pyinstaller has code that most anti-virus software believes is a malicious trojan. I am almost certain it is a false positive (that's what everyone online has been saying) and that you can deactivate your anti-virus software briefly and the download will work. However, even though I'm pretty certain pyinstaller is safe I'm not going to fuck around and find out, I'm going to search for another way to turn script into an .exe

Thank you for the video though, very useful and I'm sure I will use this method if pyinstaller fixes this issue with the next update.

@Tech With Tim, 31 years I have been in computers...and today I learned you can lauch command prompt from an explorer window and it opens the directory you did it in by default... Keep up the awesome content!

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for respecting our time and packing as much good info as you could in this single vid! I don't see many YouTubers do that!

[fabiogavilan]

in the command prompt you can also write: "where python" (without quotes) to find the directory

1:50 You can get the Python's path by typing "where python" to cmd

[davidhochstetler]

Super useful video dude, thanks a bunch

[thingsiplay]

You can direct pyinstaller to include images and other needed files and folders with --add-data into the single executable. Then you do not need the extra nsis step.

Before making the project to a exe make sure to run from the command line check whether it works. If you created project through pycharm or some other ide the additional packages downloaded may not work at times. So recommend to install the packages using the pip in the project directory from command prompt and the make an exe. It will work like charm.
Thank you for the awesome video. Saved slot of time for me.

[TheHackysack]
