I am trying to turn a .py file into .exe so that it's runnable on other computers without python. I followed this tutorial, installed pyinstaller then ran the command pyinstaller --onefile IRV.py without the -w since my program runs in the console. It successfully built the .exe file but when I run it it immediately closes even though the program itself asks for input at the beginning. It uses a bunch of .txt and .xslx files from the folder of the .py file so I dragged the .exe out of the dist folder but it still gives the same error. I managed to make a quick print screen before it closes and it gives me this error: https://i.stack.imgur.com/EdP6h.jpg

The script doesn't even work if I double click the .py file. However it runs perfectly fine if I open up the .py file in an IDE like Spyder. When I run the .exe file it opens up the cmd for a few seconds with nothing written on it and then quickly writes that error I managed to screenshot and then closes. If I double click the .py though it instantly closes without the wait or the error message.

Pyinstaller didn't find the libraries or modules you imported. In the build folder that was deleted in the tutorial, there's a text document that shows warnings for libraries that aren't found by the pyinstaller. You may need to check that.

This Q&A mentioned a problem that is related to your Question: No module error when running python script from command prompt
