I have made an application using pyqt . when running from an IDE the .py files work good. However when running the .exe file using:

pyinstaller --name="Myapp" --windowed --onefile main.py

I get a .exe file. When I try to run it it says 

Failed to execure script main

I tried again but this time with :

pyinstaller main.py

It did generated a folder named main in dist. I ran main.exe in command line and I get :

ImportError: No module named 'mlarray'

I went to the matlab library for python that I had installed in \Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages\matlab and changed mlarray.py as following: from 

from _internal.mlarray_sequence import _MLArrayMetaClass

To:

from matlab._internal.mlarray_sequence import _MLArrayMetaClass

I even changed __init__.py: from:

from mlarray import double, single, uint8, int8, uint16, \
    int16, uint32, int32, uint64, int64, logical
from mlexceptions import ShapeError as ShapeError
from mlexceptions import SizeError as SizeError

to:

from matlab.mlarray import double, single, uint8, int8, uint16, \
    int16, uint32, int32, uint64, int64, logical
from matlab.mlexceptions import ShapeError as ShapeError
from matlab.mlexceptions import SizeError as SizeError

Finally I changed Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages\matlab\_internal\mlarray_sequence.py from:

from _internal.mlarray_utils import _get_strides, _get_size, \
    _normalize_size, _get_mlsize, _reshape

to:

from matlab._internal.mlarray_utils import _get_strides, _get_size, \
    _normalize_size, _get_mlsize, _reshape

Saved all the work and try to do pyinstaller again.

pyinstaller main.py

and this time I get following error:

  File "site-packages\matlab\engine\__init__.py", line 62, in <module>
OSError: Please reinstall MATLAB Engine for Python or contact MathWorks Technical Support for assistance: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\pmafgx_das\\das2\\main\\ReleaserQt\\dist\\main\\matlab\\engine\\_arch.txt'
[2028] Failed to execute script main

It is getting very frustrating and I don't know what to do more. Please if you have an insights I would appritiate if you could help me.

First of all remove the changes to matlab.

Then create a directory structure - and the hook-matlab.py file - like the following tree:

- script_to_compile.py  # This is the python file you run pyinstaller on
- hooks  # DIR
  - hook-matlab.py

And inside of hook-matlab.py:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_all

datas, binaries, hiddenimports = collect_all('matlab')

Then build with the extra option --additional-hooks-dir=hooks.
