After upgrading to pyinstaller 3.6 any EXE that I generate do nothing. I've tried a simple one (hello.py):

print('hello')

Than I've used:

pyinstaller --onefile hello.py

The result is:

My environment:

  • Python 3.8.0 (tags/v3.8.0:fa919fd, Oct 14 2019, 19:21:23) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
  • PyInstaller version 3.6
  • Windows 10 Enterprise [Version 10.0.17763.1158] 64-bits

Any ideas? Thanks. Celso

  • Are you sure it isn't just printing your message and closing straight away? Try adding `import time` and then after your print line, `time.sleep(3)`. – wstk May 08 '20 at 18:42
  • thanks wstk. I'm testing it using the command prompt... but I've tried your suggestion anyway and it doesn't work. something happened with the environment after upgrading PyInstaller. I even tried to uninstall and install the previous version of it that was working yesterday. same problem. – coliveira2001 May 08 '20 at 20:54
