Thank very much for your response, the EXE script works on a computer with python compiler and does not work on computer without python script although the window comes on with missing pictures and icons. I have used pyinstaller to turn the script into EXE file. It works on the computer on which the script was complied only. — Muss mhaka, Aug 23 '22 at 13:12
Okay I see. You need to [pack](https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/usage.html#cmdoption-add-data) those image/icon files when you use PyInstaller. Then edit your script so when you read those files you get their filepaths with [`resource_path()`](https://stackoverflow.com/a/13790741/3589122). — GordonAitchJay, Aug 23 '22 at 13:39
Thank you very much for your help, l will do as you have instructed, l really appreciate — Muss mhaka, Aug 23 '22 at 13:41

If you compile your script into an executable file, for example by using "auto-py-to-exe", then the resulting .exe-file can be run on any computer with the same architecture as the one you created the .exe file on.

You can include other files or folders containing pictures or icons using a simple GUI.

you can install it with pip:

$ pip install auto-py-to-exe

or directly from github: https://github.com/brentvollebregt/auto-py-to-exe
