Me also gets this failed to execute script error. I tried ALL of the things already mentioned but it did NOT work. Do you think I must try the GitBash terminal?

[@ij1316]

You probably have an error. Remove the -w flag and run the exe so that you can see what's happening in the console window

[@elevendarter112]

I used auto-py-to-exe for creating a simple exe file. At first I had to paste the .kv file content as a string right into the .py file. Then I didn't have to write any additional things into the specs etc. Actually, I created it as an One File, Window Based file so no additional folders or files were created anyway. It worked fine right at the first attempt. Then I made a few more attempts with having the separate .kv file and I tried to add it to the rest during the auto-py-to-exe process, similarly like I used to do when I was creating exe files from my customtkinter files. It didn't work. No problem though. The first method is easy and I think it's better. You have just one exe file and nothing else to mess with.

[@marie-pierneault1035]

Thanks for the tipp, I'm on this video since two days and it keeps telling me that my .kv is not found. Just drop it as a string and it works at first place!

[@huguesrubin5804]

Hi! How can we manage to have a single executable file with all the dependencies in it instead of a directory ?(equivalent to the --onefile command)

[@huguesrubin5804]

@Максимов Александр Сергеевич nah I already tried but it's not working for a kivy file

[@Albrazi]

not sure if he made another video on this but an easier way is using "auto-py-to-exe". You could select the py file and then add any additional files with it. No need to code anything.

[@colecates5554]

This doesn't work with the kv file for me. I add the kv file but I get a crash when I try to run the exe

[@jaffedenaegel6430]

I have found you need to have kivy installed properly, if you just imported it from python without doing anything in the command prompt it will not work (at least not for me, follow the first tutorial in the kivy series here), also, the python used in your command prompt can be different then the one in the python file itself, make sure its 3.9 or less, 3.10 currently doesn't work after 2 hours of fixing all the stuff and reinstalling python so i only have 3.9 on my computer since i cant find how to switch between versions on the internet it worked

[@Codemycom]

Of course, you always have to install anything correctly.

[@STARBASS-Thema]

I have seen that you can't multiply two numbers like 3.5×4.4 or something like that can you please fix it or have I done a mistake in my code I don't know. The same by division two numbers like 8.1/5.3 doesn't work.

[@Codemycom]

[@johnanderson3652]

The documentation for pyinstaller says that command line options should appear before the spec file. Like `pyinstaller -y calc.spec` rather than `pyinstaller calc.spec -y`. Is that a problem?

[@malcolmnooning2505]

I was having that problem, too. I think I have the solution but I am not sure why it is the solution. BTW: I was first getting the problem using the Windows command prompt, not Mingw. Python 3.8.6. with kivy version 2.0.0rc4. Up to now, everything worked perfectly in the Windows Command Prompt. I then switched to Mingw. Same problem. After some experimentation, I found that changing the calc.spec file worked in both Mingw and the Windows command prompt. In the spec file, change 'Code\calc.kv', to just 'calc.kv', as shown below. a.datas += [('Code\calc.kv', 'C:\\kivygui', 'DATA')] a.datas += [('calc.kv', 'C:\\kivygui', 'DATA')]

Good video this calculator works perfectly in my laptop and I want to take advantage of the oportunity to tell you that I tried to send the calculator.exe to some guys but the app just work with people who have python in their computers, otherwise the SO sent a fatal Error. In this case if I want to create a desktop apps with kivy, should I add the interpreter of python inside the calc directories in order people install python before executing the calc.exe, or What should I do instead ?

[@__lasevix_]

most big applications written in python have their own version of it installed along their dependencies, I'm afraid you'll have to dig through the python docs about that. though I'd be interested if someone finds a way to circumvent this.

[@andreabacoful]

Fantastic and precise as always. One question: don't you ever have problems sharing the created .exe file due to the fact that most antivirus engines recognize it as malware? I have this problem with an app developed with tkinter. I have seen that it is a widespread problem

[@Codemycom]

Yeah, that's a problem without a very good solution...unfortunately.

[@__lasevix_]

you'd have to sign the file and get it into the official database for "safe files" of a few antivirus providers. otherwise, they'll check and see that the app isn't present on their list.

[@nocopyrightgameplaystockvi231]

OK, it worked for me! But still, the part where a.data+=[(Code\calc.kv)].............., from where does this Code\calc.kv file comes from? I did the same with my setup (D:\export\TheLab.kv) and it worked. But don't know how!

[@diegomendez8534]

So you just put the path again? Or how did you do it?

[@taurohkea2169]

i did all of them but in the end it created a main file inside dist file. and there is a main.exe which is "Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.DC!ml" virus. how did i end up creating a virus?

[@Codemycom]

You didn't. Antivirus usually flags software it doesn't recognize as potentially a virus. Since you just built it, it obviously wouldn't recognize it.
