Create an exe file with executables inside

Question

I'm trying to build a one-file EXE with pyinstaller that uses pytesseract OCR. The .exe file is going to be used in several PC's. Let's suppose this is my .py code that I want to turn to .exe

import cv2
import os
import ast
import sys

def OCR():
    # direct path to pytesseract used previously
    # pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'

    pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = resource_path('tesseract.exe')

    #Replace with random jpeg or png file
    image = cv2.imread(r'C:\Users\user\Downloads\IMG_1.JPG')

    Read = pytesseract.image_to_string(image, config='--psm 11')
    print(Read)


def resource_path(relative_path):
    if hasattr(sys, "_MEIPASS"):
        return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, 'Tesseract-OCR', relative_path)
    return os.path.join(relative_path)


OCR()

And the .spec file

# -*- mode: python ; coding: utf-8 -*-


block_cipher = None


a = Analysis(
    ['C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\pythonProject3\\SimpleOCR.py'],
    pathex=[],
    binaries=[(r'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Tesseract-OCR', 'Tesseract-OCR') ],
    datas=[],
    hiddenimports=[],
    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='SimpleOCR',
    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,
)

After creating the .exe file and When executing the .exe file in another computer. It gives me a TypeError: Unsupported image object, although I'm using the same image (not hard coded) making it unavailable to use the OCR.

Any ideas?

I get this message 4068 WARNING: lib not found: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll dependency of C:\Users\francisco.carmo\AppData\Local\Programs\Tesseract-OCR\ambiguous_words.exe, 4175 INFO: Cannot get manifest resource from non-PE file C:\Users\francisco.carmo\AppData\Local\Programs\Tesseract-OCR\combine_lang_model.1.html and 5942 WARNING: Cannot get binary dependencies for file: C:\Users\francisco.carmo\AppData\Local\Programs\Tesseract-OCR\lstmeval.1.html for several files when creating the .exe file, am putting tesseract the right way in the .spec file?

Answer 1

I used the auto-py-to-ex to create the .exe giving tesseract folder as an additional file also did it on my personal computer. Althought I need to install tesseract on every PC I want to use the exe file. Check this if you have the same problem How to compile Python code with PyTesseract to EXE?

Answer 2

As mentioned in my comment, i don't know, if the executable has some dependencies that must be relative to it. That's why I would try to bundle the whole content of the folder instead of only the exe. To achieve this, update the two following lines.

return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, 'Tesseract-OCR', relative_path)

binaries=[(r'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Tesseract-OCR', 'Tesseract-OCR')],

EDIT:

In your current implementation you set you image hardcoded to

image = cv2.imread(r'C:\Users\user\Downloads\IMG_1.JPG')

Thats why the executable only works on your PC. If you keep the line as shown above, the file must be always at that location. I would recommend to do something like this.

import os
import sys

execution_path = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])
image = os.path.join(execuation_path, 'IMG_1.JPG')

With that approach, just keep an image named 'IMG_1.JPG' relative to the executable and it should work.

EDIT 2:

Check if the image path you create is valid and absolute by printing the image paths in your try/except case of function ocr to the console. Make sure to compile it with console True, so you get the output. Not a nice way of debugging but it should do the job.
