I have built a web app by using streamlit. Now, I want to share my app to others without deploying in the cloud. I tried to create an executable file by using pynsist. I followed the steps mentioned in this Package streamlit app and run executable on windows and https://github.com/takluyver/pynsist/tree/master/examples/streamlit but I'm getting this error.

File "C:\Users\user\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\nsist\wheels.py", line 144, in get_from_pypi raise NoWheelError('No compatible wheels found for {0.name} {0.version}'.format(self)) nsist.wheels.NoWheelError: No compatible wheels found for blinker 1.4.

Project structure:

|- src
    |- main.py
    |- run_app.py
|- wheels #empty folder
|- installer.cfg

This occurs because Blinker does not publish wheels on PyPI. Wheels are a common format for modern Python packages, but Blinker was last released in 2015, when it wasn't so normal to make wheels.

Blinker appears to be a simple, pure-Python package, so it should be easy to make a wheel of it locally, by running pip wheel blinker==1.4. Then you can tell Pynsist to use this with either the extra_wheel_sources option - giving it a directory of wheels to use in addition to PyPI for pypi_wheels - or the local_wheels option pointing to the specific .whl file.

See also bundling packages which don't have wheels on PyPI in Pynsist's FAQ.

  • Hi Thomas, Just saw your answer and now it works. I added a few images in installer.cfg now I'm getting an error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '1.jpg' when I run the app. Apologies for delayed response and Thanks. – Shan Jul 19 '22 at 12:19
  • You probably want another FAQ entry for that: https://pynsist.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#using-data-files – Thomas K Jul 20 '22 at 18:27
  • Can you elaborate more with an example? It would be helpful. – Shan Jul 21 '22 at 06:04
  • It might be worth making a new question with the details of that - it's a bit tricky to give much information in comments. – Thomas K Jul 22 '22 at 07:20
