The script runs fine but compiled with pyinstaller throws an error in runtime:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "poples.py", line 3, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'arcade'
[5316] Failed to execute script 'poples' due to unhandled exception!

Arcade(latest version:2.6.15)  is installed on my python folder:
    C:\Users\Sarp\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages
as well as installed in my project virtual enviroment folder

What I did so far:

  • Fresh start: delete venv folder and recreate new

  • using pycharms requirement.txt, I reinstalled all the required packages again

  • I run pyi-makespec inside my project folder:

    pyi-makespec --onefile --windowed --icon=icon.ico poples.py

  • Edit the spec file line: hiddenimports=[], to hiddenimports=['arcade'], and console=False to console=True (to see runtime error)

    It looks like this:

    block_cipher = None

a = Analysis(
    ['poples.py'],
    pathex=[],
    binaries=[],
    datas=[],
    hiddenimports=['arcade'],
    hookspath=[],
    hooksconfig={},
    runtime_hooks=[],
    excludes=[],
    win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
    win_private_assemblies=False,
    cipher=block_cipher,
    noarchive=False,
)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data, cipher=block_cipher)

exe = EXE(
    pyz,
    a.scripts,
    a.binaries,
    a.zipfiles,
    a.datas,
    [],
    name='poples',
    debug=False,
    bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
    strip=False,
    upx=True,
    upx_exclude=[],
    runtime_tmpdir=None,
    console=True,
    disable_windowed_traceback=False,
    argv_emulation=False,
    target_arch=None,
    codesign_identity=None,
    entitlements_file=None,
    icon='icon.ico',
)

  • run pyinstaller inside my project folder pyinstaller poples.spec

  • run the script through command promt

  • got an error

SOLVED: I always copy pyinstaller.exe to my project folder then run fron there. and it always works for my other projects.. But when I delete pyinstaller from this project folder and run it did the job. but still I don't know why this is the case. Maybe arcade don't like the pyinstaller in my project folder.
