Seems to convert okay but then when I run the .exe nothing happens. about auto-py-to-exe HOT 9 CLOSED

Regarding that the python script runs properly by itself then this may have been caused by incorrect configuration or third party modules.
The best way to find what the issue is, is to select the -d flag's button in the advanced tab and then re-package it. This will mean the exe is now in a debugging mode. Open up cmd and then run the exe using cmd e.g. "C:/folder/path/myexe.exe".
Any errors will be preserved in the console which you were previously missing.

What are they errors that were provided?

from auto-py-to-exe.

The only error I get is here:

When I close the exe window as it doesn't work properly, I don't even get this window when not run in debug it just doesn't start.

from auto-py-to-exe.

Please make this script console based as you will then not have to go through all the windows. Also can you please paste the command that is being executed next time?

On the CMD terminal i am executing "D:\Users\gblmac\Desktop\Python programs\Exe's\PMFinder.exe" and now that it is set to console I am at least getting my program window but when I try to use the "GO" button my itemlist doesnt show.

Here is the console window ouptut:

and I am executing the following program:

from tkinter import *

def part_search():
    # The sole purpose of this function is to update elements, not creating them.
    listbox.delete(0,END)
    mtext = ment.get()
    print(mtext)
    mlabel2.config(text=mtext)
    msearch = open(r"PMs.txt")
    print('again')
    for line in msearch:
          if mtext in line:
              listbox.insert(END, str(line))

    listbox.config(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set,width=0, justify=LEFT)
    scrollbar.config(command=listbox.yview)
    msearch.close()

    return

# This code is your original code for creating the first elements
mGui = Tk()
mGui.configure(bg="orange")
ment = StringVar()


mGui.geometry ("1000x500+200+300")
mGui.title ("Parts Finder")

mlabel1 = Label(mGui, text="Type in search term:\n PM Name, Area, Markcode e.g. 11.1.1", font="Times 16", bg="orange")
mlabel1.pack()
mentry = Entry(textvariable=ment, font="Times 20", width = 50, bg="orange")
mentry.pack()
mentry.focus()

mbutton = Button(mGui, text ="Go", font="Times 30", command = part_search, bg="grey")
mbutton.pack()

# here is the moved code from the function
Finder = ()
scrollbar = Scrollbar(mGui)
scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
listbox = Listbox(mGui)
listbox.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
listbox.configure(justify=CENTER, bg="orange", font="Times 16")
mlabel2 = Label(mGui)
mlabel2.pack()

while True:
    mGui.update_idletasks()
    mGui.update() 

Is there anything else you need?

Sorry, when saying command I meant the content of the textarea below the "Current Command" label.
When running this code when not packaged, it provides an initial error _tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-justify" and then a NameError: name 'mlabel2' is not defined when clicking the Go button.
When packaging the script myself that you provided, by simply running the exectuable in cmd I was provided with:

PS C:\Users\Brent\GitHub\auto-py-to-exe\output\a> .\a.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "a.py", line 45, in <module>
  File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 1330, in configure
  File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 1321, in _configure
_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-justify"
[5948] Failed to execute script a

This _tkinter.TclError as stated before is your issue.
After removing the text "justify=CENTER" from line 45 and re-packaging it now works fine.

I figured out what the issue was with it not working as expected, although I was adding an additional file "PMs.txt" it was being added to the assets directory when the program was looking in the root directory.
I changed
msearch = open(r"PMs.txt")
to
msearch = open(r"assets/PMs.txt")
and it works fine now.
thanks. :)

from auto-py-to-exe.

Oh right, you had never mentioned anything about an additional file.
Another tip is that you can change "assets/" to "." to the file can sit in the root.

Yes I saw that on the UI, but I wanted to keep the txt file separate. thanks for the help.
