How can I generate the exe application from python file

Question

I'm trying to get the .exe file from this script using pyinstaller

I used this command pyinstaller -w -F test.py while I'm in the test directory

the file test.py contains

from tkinter import *
from tkcalendar import DateEntry

root = Tk()
date = DateEntry(root, year=2001, month=11, day=11, width=17,)
date.pack()
root.mainloop()

The .exe file that I get is not WORKING?

when I do this pyinstaller -F test.py I get the error of no module named babel.numbers on the console

I find it very easy and better than other packages..there are plenty of answers in SO for the same — Rahul Agarwal, Jul 05 '19 at 12:20
I usually use `cx_Freeze`, `py2exe` or `nuitka`; `pyInstaller` most often gives me trouble. Any reason you can't install Python on a client's machine? — Agi Hammerthief, Jul 05 '19 at 12:21
@AgiHammerthief what do you mean with Any reason you can't install Python on a client's machine? — Ali, Jul 05 '19 at 12:26
Remove `-w` flag and run the executable from the command line and give us the error. — Masoud Rahimi, Jul 05 '19 at 14:21

It seems that PyInstaller can't resolve module babel.numbers for tkcalendar. One easy way is to use hidden-import:

pyinstaller -F --hidden-import "babel.numbers" test.py

Use a [virtualenv](https://docs.python-guide.org/dev/virtualenvs/) install Pyinstaller and `tkcalendar`. Also, put a `print` statement on the first line and make sure that you see it in console output (remember to **don't use `-w` flag). – Masoud Rahimi Jul 06 '19 at 10:08
thanx it worked without virtual envirenment – Ali Jul 07 '19 at 09:24
