I have created GUI python2.7 program with Tkinter successfully without error. Now I want to make an executable file of it using pyinstaller in anaconda environment (I'm using windows 10).

Using this command pyinstaller --onefile main.py I am able to create exe file successfully in dist folder. But when I tried to run the exe file, it showed error : 

Traceback (most recent call last):   
File "main.py", line 333, in <module>   
File "main.py", line 90, in __init__   
File "lib-tk\ttk.py", line 715, in current
_tkinter.TclError: Index 0 out of range 
[22668] Failed to execute script main

Is the problem related to tkinter? I've tried the solution here : Problems with Pyinstaller with tkinter app on python 3.5 and here : How to make pyinstaller import the ttk theme? . But still same error

Try and do:

pyinstaller --onefile -w main.py

The -w flag stops python from bringing up the console, and so this could be why tkinter is failing.

Source: This cool video

I highly recommend you watch this video as it also goes a little in depth on how to clean up after building the exe.

I used pyinstaller to create single exe file for a tkinter project, which contained several py files:

Main.py is my main python file which calls tkinter UI and I had several other python files imported to this Main.py. Some libraries which I used include pandas,pyodbc

Open cmd in the same directory of the project; Use following command:

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onedir --windowed --icon=XYZ.ico "C:/Users/.../Tkinter_Project/Main.py"

Application was created with no dependencies. If there is any config or image files used, simply copy paste it to the 'dist' folder which gets created.
