How to freeze .py to exe with images using pyinstaller?

  • 772

I made my application with python but I want to convert it to .exe, I can achieve the conversion from .py to exe but not with the image. The image works fine if I run the application in its original format which is .py but when I convert it to .exe it doesn't work. If you have used pyinstaller, can you give me any recommendations, thanks? I am using pyinstaller 3.2 with python 3.4.1 installeddo.

photo = PhotoImage(file="pirate.png")
label = Label(window, image=photo)
label.pack()

The error message.

    File "lukcid3.py", line 49, in <module>
      File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 3384, in __init__
      File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 3340, in __init__

    Try putting the following line in your *.spec:

    datas = [('C:\\ruta\\a\\mi\\imagen.png', 'carpeta/interna/de/imgs')],

    within Analysis. The first element of the tuple is the path to your image locally while the second is the internal path where you want the images in your bundle to be stored . It should be something like this:

    a = Analysis(
    ['C:\\Users\\Francesc\\Desktop\\PyInstaller-3.2'],
    pathex = ['C:\\Users\\Francesc\\Desktop\\PyInstaller-3.2\\lukcid3'],
    binaries = None,
    datas = [('C:\\ruta\\a\\mi\\imagen.png', 'carpeta/interna/de/imgs')],
    hiddenimports = [],
    ookspath = [],
    runtime_hooks = [],
    excludes = [],
    win_no_prefer_redirects = False,
    win_private_assemblies = False,
    cipher = block_cipher
)
pyz = PYZ(
    a.pure, 
    a.zipped_data,
    cipher = block_cipher
)
exe = EXE(
    pyz,
    a.scripts,
    exclude_binaries = True,
    name = 'PyInstaller-3',
    debug = False,
    strip = False,
    upx = True,
    console = True 
)
coll = COLLECT(
    exe,
    a.binaries,
    a.zipfiles,
    a.datas,
    strip = False,
    upx = True,
    name = 'PyInstaller-3'
)

    And tell us if it worked for you.
