I created a main.exe file by using python pyinstaller with this command line

pyinstaller main.py --onefile

Then, if I run the main.exe file it just blinks and then disappears. Running the .exe from command line generates this error.

This file should execute a small game with user interaction. I put the main.exe file in the same directory where all the dependencies are contained.

If I run the main.py file using PyCharm everything works well.

Did anyone face the same problem?

For using pyinstallr its not straight forward to make a build .

I will give you an example of the build.

you would have to have this .spec for building.

You have to give pyinstaller all the different types of files it has to fetch and how to organize them . You have an example below

datas=[('F:\path\to\proj\*.kv', '.' )

  (  'path in you local'                ,  'root dir for exe')

Use "*.png / *.kv " to fetch all the files.

          upx_exclude=[],
          runtime_tmpdir=None,
          console=True
          )

Build command :

PyInstaller --clean --onefile yourspecfile.spec

In here you have console and debug enabled , change that to "False" if you don't need it.

Tip: If your are not able to see the console log and its closing before you can see , Open a terminal in the location of exe and use "./main.exe" to see the logs after it crashs
