I built a GUI application for Windows using:

  • Python 3.4.0
  • PySimpleGUI 4.0.0
  • Py2exe to create the .exe file

However when I run the application by running the .exe file, the FileBrowse and FolderBrowse dialogs of PySimpleGUI look different than running the application direcly from the script.

  • Does anyone know why the dialogs showup differently?
  • How can this behavior be avoided?

What I expect is that also the file and folder browse elements I used look the same after conversion to an .exe file.

  • I just tried using PyInstaller and the dialog boxes were the same for my short program with .py and .exe runs. This has to be a tkinter / Py2exe interaction problem. I would search for tkinter and py2exe to see what others have to say about it or how they did or didn't get around it. – Mike from PSG Jul 06 '19 at 15:16
  • Hi MikeyB, thanks for your input. I tried PyInstaller right now and however using PyInstaller I get the same different looking dialog windows. As it does work in your case, using these .exe files from Python seem not too stable to use then. – Ferdy Jul 10 '19 at 06:49
