While using PyInstaller (dev version 4.0.dev0+8196c57ab), produced an OSError: [WinError 2] 'The system cannot find the file specified.'
Python version: 3.7
GUI: PySide2 5.13.0
Other packages: lxml, BeautifulSoup, Matplotlib (with dependencies like numpy), Pandas, pypiwin32, reportlab, Theano
Anaconda 3, Windows
Compiled with PyInstaller --onedir
What I've tried:
Tried downgrading PyInstaller to 2.1 as suggested here: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/3916 but doesn't work as Python 3 is not supported
Was originally on PyInstaller 3.5, upgraded to dev version as suggested under some of the issues on PyInstaller github
Tried including --exclude-module=.git
import PyInstaller.__main__
if __name__ == '__main__':
PyInstaller.__main__.run([
'--name=%s' % 'Dummy App',
'--onedir',
'--nowindowed',
r'--workpath=C:\Users\User1\Desktop\build7',
r'--distpath=C:\Users\User1\Desktop\dist7',
'--hidden-import=theano.tensor.shared_randomstreams',

'--add-data={0};.'.format('redacted.pdf'),
'--exclude-module={0}'.format('.git'),
'--log-level=WARN',
'MainWindow.py'
])

P.S. Compilation and the exe functioned perfectly with virtualenv environment created from Anaconda environment earlier (without need for --exclude-module=.git), but was too bloated with packages because the virtualenv environment is still considered to be part of the conda environment. So I used a new conda environment, and this error appeared
I've gotten it to work by creating another virtualenv environment in this new conda environment, but that is a very roundabout way. Is there any workaround?
For me, PyInstaller seems to search through .git folder and redacted_folder unnecessarily
I solved this problem by:
MOVING the folder(s) out of the directory before freezing
Additionally, if the folder is required for the frozen app to run (e.g. as a data folder), I would also either:
Comment / remove the corresponding part for --add-data and manually copy the folder over, or
Change the path for --add-data e.g. if you moved redacted_folder to your Desktop, you can change to '--add-data=C:/Users/User1/Desktop/redacted_folder'
You'll still need .git and redacted_folder back in the original directory to use Git and run your code without freezing
For example, I had trouble with .git and redacted_folder. The frozen executable needed redacted_folder to run parts of the code.
What I did was:
Move .git and redacted_folder to a separate directory
Then, I commented out the line to add data for redacted_folder:
import PyInstaller.__main__
if __name__ == '__main__':
PyInstaller.__main__.run([
'--name=%s' % 'Dummy App',
'--onedir',
'--nowindowed',
r'--workpath=C:\Users\User1\Desktop\build7',
r'--distpath=C:\Users\User1\Desktop\dist7',
'--hidden-import=theano.tensor.shared_randomstreams',
'--hidden-import=pandas._libs.tslibs.timedeltas',
'--clean',
'--add-data={0};.'.format('redacted.xml'),
# Remove `redacted_folder` and comment out the following line
# '--add-data={0};{0}'.format('redacted_folder'),
'--add-data={0};.'.format('redacted.pdf'),
'--exclude-module={0}'.format('.git'),
'--log-level=WARN',
'MainWindow.py'
])
After freezing, I copied redacted_folder over to the appropriate location relative to the frozen executable in distpath
This was fixed. Update PyInstaller.
I installed pyinstaller in a new conda environment using pip, however pywin32 did not get installed by default (eventhough documentation mentioned it would). Installing it fixed the error for me.
I had this same issue and found another thread where somebody uninstalled Python and then reinstalled Python to fix it.
The key information to understand the problem though, was that they had originally installed Python using Microsoft Store. When they reinstalled Python, they just downloaded Python from python.org and this took care of the problem. It worked for me too.
It seems very likely that something in the Microsoft Store version is causing problems like this.
Start from administrator cmd or ide and try again, it's helped me.
Running from Jupyter Notebook with elevated privilegies worked for me!
Last night I ran a Windows update and this morning Anaconda Navigator hangs when I try to launch it. After googling I ran some updates in Anaconda prompt:
conda update
conda update anaconda-navigator
And then when I try to launch anaconda navigator from the prompt I get this error:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'
I use Jupyter Notebook and Spyder and this is causing me a major headache. Thanks in advance!
There's another solution (not the best, but it works). Anaconda can't retrieve vscode version for any reason.
You need to replace line 888 in file "C:\Users\xxxx\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\anaconda_navigator\api\anaconda_api.py"
from versions=[vsdata.get('productVersion')], to versions=["1b8e8302e405050205e69b59abb3559592bb9e60"],
After lots of restarts and lots of googling I found a simple fix:
conda update navigator-updater
It works...for now
For me it worked only when I'm connected to the internet. Offline, it fails to start.
I'm trying to follow/modify these instructions to get matplotlib compiled on pypy3, but when I try to compile wxpython-cffi with pypy3 build.py dox I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "build.py", line 1650, in <module>

File "build.py", line 422, in __init__
os.chdir(newDir)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/user/tmp/docs/doxygen'
The steps I followed are:
installing pypy3 with brew: brew install pypy3
trying to install matplotlib with pip_pypy3 but getting this long error message
trying to install wxpython with pip_pypy3 install wxpython and getting another very long error message
Download wxpython-cffi: hg clone https://bitbucket.org/amauryfa/wxpython-cffi
installing wxWidgets with brew: brew install wxWidgets
which doxygen --> /usr/local/bin/doxygen
export DOXYGEN=/usr/local/bin/doxygen
and finally pypy3 build.py dox which results the error above
changing the line 657 of build.py from pwd = pushDir(posixjoin(wxDir(), 'docs/doxygen')) to pwd = pushDir('/usr/local/bin') results in a completely different error:
Running command: dox
./regen.sh xml
/bin/sh: ./regen.sh: No such file or directory
Command './regen.sh xml' failed with exit code 127.
I would appreciate if you could help me know what is the problem and how I can solve it. the final goal is to get the matplotlib installed on pypy3, so out of the box solutions also would do.
P.S. I'm not sure if my tags are appropriate. I would appreciate if the moderators could let me know if they need to be modified/removed
Matplotlib and PyPy is a known pain point on OSX, we have had multiple reporters but since the PyPy team does not have an OSX developer we cannot fix it on our own. See https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2327 or any of the other matplotlib issues on the PyPy issue tracker.
It would be great if someone capable of working through this with us would step up and help us fix it, reach out with a response to any of the multiple issues or on IRC at #pypy
During its startup, Spyder3 IDE crashes under Python(x,y). I have installed a Python(x,y) distribution (2.7.10.0) of Python2.7 under Windows 7 and after updating the package spyder to the most recent version (with pip: V3.0.x), it does not restart anymore. Resetting the spyder config does not help.
It is reproducible as I checked it on 3 computers and also with the Enthought distribution, it has the same problem. Only under Anaconda, it keeps working properly.
The error message is stored in the contents of file spyder_crash.log:

PS: I see that I could post an issue directly on Github but there are over 600 issues open. Maybe there is someone who knows a fix directly.
Different causes that Spyder crashes:
Spyder IDE won't start WinPython-64bit- 2.7.10.2
Broken links and probably different cause - Spyder/Pythonxy crashes
Edit:

(Spyder developer here) This is an error between PythonXY and Spyder. I opened an issue about it, which we're going to solve in Spyder 3.1.0 (to be released in mid January/2017).
This might be due to incompatibilities due to different Qt wrappers. To test this in Enthought Python, please open a Canopy Command Prompt (or otherwise ensure that Enthought Python is your default python). Then ensure that PyQt is installed and make it the default Qt wrapper:
enpkg pyqt
set QT_API=pyqt
Now does Spyder 3 run ok?

Any ideas? Another way?
Homebrew provides Emacs 24.4 as well, with
$ brew install emacs --with-cocoa --with-gnutls
I'm using GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.21) on OS X 10.9.5 currently, this version is the one from Emacs for Mac OS X and used with It's All Text! for Firefox to write this answer. ;)
Obviously most people generally opt for homebrew (as the top answer indicates), but since homebrew has a tendency to screw with /usr/local to such an extent that it won't cope with alternative (e.g. custom compiled or original) installations of Python, I can't/won't run it (so I compile from source or use MacPorts). For those in a similar position to me regarding homebrew (and I know it's not everyone), then give the Emacs for Mac OS X version a shot, failing that try MacPorts and if it's still not ideal this question has many good responses, depending on your circumstances, particularly this answer.
I've struggled with various emacs installs on OSX, so eventually I switched to MacPorts. It has emacs 24.3 available.
The current "bzr" release doesn't work out of the box on Mavericks. You can either install another prebuilt variant (from MacPorts, homebrew, or fink), or try to manually upgrade the library subvertpy.
I use MacPorts when I use bzr and when I run autogen.sh. However, it must be disabled when you run ./configure --with-ns and make install. (I use two separate terminal windows with different PATH environment variables for this.)
