I am working with selenium webdriver in python.In my code I am controlling Firefox with the help of selenium and geckodriver.Everything goes well,except that when I convert it into an GUI executable and run it ,a geckodriver black screen appears.I have made the executable from python using this command:

pyinstaller --windowed --onefile Main.py

So, initially I don't get a black screen.The black screen appears only when I am clicking a button associated with opening firefox using selenium webdriver.I understand that geckodriver is a dependency file for selenium,but isn`t there anything I can do or write in the python code that can prevent geckodriver from showing the black screen and still execute the command ?

Does the black screen appears when you run it without converting to exe? – Nouman Aug 22 '18 at 07:08
@Nouman No,when I am running the python program in pycharm,it does not. – Dheeman Kuaner Aug 22 '18 at 07:20
Try running it in python IDLE and let me know if it makes black screen pop-up. – Nouman Aug 22 '18 at 07:21
@Nouman yes,it does,exactly the same way as when I run it s executable. – Dheeman Kuaner Aug 22 '18 at 07:26
