Pyinstaller exe file doesn't take any input

Question

I want to create .exe file from .py. If I run .py file it works well and I have no problem with it. But when I run .exe file created by pyinstaller I can not input(type) anything in command line.

I have tried a several options already - onefile execuatable(--onefile), disable upx(--noupx). Both give no improvements at all.

Is it a problem that I importing my own libs? Better to paste functions I use inside my .py file?

from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
from convetai.cropImage import cropImage, step
def main():
    path = input()
    img = np.array(Image.open(f"{path}"))

    print("Your image has a shape of ", img.shape)
    n = int(input("Enter number of divisions."))
    #dx, dy = step(n, img.shape)
    i = int(input("Enter num of row"))
    j = int(input("Enter num of column"))
    n_img = cropImage(img, n, i, j, save=True)
    print("Done.")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Thank You.

you run one windows make sure you declare the program to be a console program as it seems to expect userinput. So don't forget the switch --console Also start with the onedir -D option. Only if you get it work with the onedir option you should continue with the --onefile perhaps add a print statement before path = input() and use perhaps: path = input("please enter the path") for better debugging. And tell us exactly what you see on your consoel after these changes – Wickiup

No changes at all when I type pyinstaller --onedir --console script.py. I run dist\script\script.exe file which opens cmd for half of second and then close it. I also added path = input("Enter the path"). – Masuria

don't click on the exe for debugging (except you are a very fast reader ;-) ) open a cmd window and call the exe from there. This gives you time to read the error message, which you can then post here – Wickiup

Oh, it says No module named 'numpy.random.common' – Masuria

Solved by adding import numpy.random.common import numpy.random.bounded_integers import numpy.random.entropy. :) Thanks! – Masuria

Answer 1

Since there is input() method you should use the console option when converting to exe file. GUI will not work. try the code below

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --console test_Script.py

It worked perfectly fine for me. Is there a way to add the file name with spaces like 'test 001.py' – Neotype

Answer 2

My recommendation is to use pyinstaller to make exe and whenever you need input in your program, just use tkinter.

Example:

import tkinter as tk from tkinter import simpledialog for features in FeatureList:

ROOT = tk.Tk()

ROOT.withdraw()
# the input dialog
USER_INP = simpledialog.askstring(title="User Input",
                                  prompt="Do You want to Continue")
# check it out
print("Continuing", USER_INP)

Now you can use USER_INP in whatever fasion you want

I found that if you just don't disable the command prompt it works fine
