You mentioned at the end that if we want to create an .exe that works you recommend using cpp, c, c# or java. But isn’t java also an interpreted language? Great video!
If your program is slow to start, avoid using --onefile. This option bundles everything into one file, similar to a zip. Running it involves extracting everything to a temporary folder, which slows down startup. Without --onefile, there's no extraction, so it starts faster.
Good video, the problem I've found with PyInstaller though is the Windows Defender picks it up as a virus and deletes it! Most other AV progs are OK but it'd a bit of a problem!
Are these projects that you have done with in the last year only able to be done through the Professional Pycharm download, or can I practice and utilize these projects with the community download. Completely new to Programming, and all the software that comes with it.

I am trying to convert .py file to .exe . it creates the .exe file but it does not work while the .py file works. its a simple code where i import .csv file and and do some calculation and conditional formatting then try concert it. any suggestion or recommendation?
yes you can keep the .ico file in the same place where the python file is located or in a folder such as an images folder. if you put the .ico file in a folder called images then you would type in the command prompt: pyinstaller --onefile -i images/iconfilename.ico main.py
" It is not a cross-compiler - to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller on Windows - to make a Linux app you run it on Linux, etc " Any workaround this?
There is error, when you use option --onefile and made our application in exe.afer that we open that exe it will made a copy of our python script in temp folder.It is dangerous, means we share original python code to client.kindly solve this bug for --one file format.

you mentioned time and time again how python is not meant to be made executable can you tell what it meant to be used as. I hope you will answer it will be much appreciated!!!
This is an excellent point, Python has been hyped as the greatest thing in programming with loads of jobs available for Python programmers but… What is the point of writing applications that run fine on the programmers development system but cannot be distributed to general users unless turned into enormous executables that are much slower to run than the development script! I am a beginner at python but after hours of writing a script that could probably be written much more efficiently I was very disappointed with its performance as an exe. Especially as this was hoped to be a utility that I could distribute easily and quickly to other users. 😟

I ran into a very embarassing stuff recently. A client of mine asked for a simple result table filtering tool, which I did in Python. It worked wonders on the first version, but then when I released the first revision, all antivirus programs went apeshit like it was some hardcore trojan package. It was because of heuristics and I had to recompile it with dummy files that made the application heftier so the detectors wouldn't bother... It's not a good solution but at least it works now.
@@Renan-yq2qv Você tem que deixar o programa com pelo menos 50mb que é o que os filtros costumam deixar passar.

Windows Defender flags any exe file I created using pyinstaller as a virus. It even deleted it from zip pin drive I was trying to copy to my other computer....apparently you need to register your program with M$ so that your program is not flagged and deleted.

Kind of makes python useless for indie program development in my opinion.
