PyInstaller on Mac ... does not work easily? - mu234 - Nov-19-2020

Hello All!

I am new to this forum, however, I like the forums very much because I learn :)

I am having a problem with a pyinstaller, somehow, I get an error:

Last login: Thu Nov 19 11:50:46 on ttys001
mkdir: /Users/.../.bash_sessions: Operation not permitted
...SM_Python/build/simple/simple ; exit;

[Process completed]

Any idea why I do not have the permissions? I have ran the pyinstaller as SUDO : sudo pyinstaller simple.py, in addition, there is a problem with finding a python Lib? Not sure what that is?

Anyway, I am on MAC and if I run the script in terminal : python ....py works like a charm. Wondering what is going on.

Anyway, what can I do to properly have the standalone app?

Best.

What version of Python are you running,the path look a little strange.
Look at The right and wrong way to set Python 3 as default on a Mac
So recently pyinstaller is now also updated for Python 3.9.

Should not need to run pyinstaller as sudo.
Not sure on permissions setup Mac,can make a virtual environment(build into python) that should fix permissions issues.

Quick demo.

tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ python -V
Python 3.8.5
tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ pip -V
pip 20.2.3 from /home/tom/.pyenv/versions/3.8.5/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

# Make 
tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ python -m venv py_env

# cd in
tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ cd py_env

# Activate 
tom@tom-VirtualBox:~/py_env$ source bin/activate

# Install
(py_env) tom@tom-VirtualBox:~/py_env$ pip install pyinstaller

Interestingly! I have a problem with get a version of pip, have a look at the output when I type $pip -V

MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$ python -V
Python 3.9.0

MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$ pip -V

MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$

I guess I have to reinstall the pip...

ok, but when I try to install the pip I get the following :

RE: PyInstaller on Mac ... does not work easily? - mu234 - Nov-20-2020

OK, it seems I have two versions of Python, and the default is Python 2.7 ...

Output:MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$ python -V
Python 2.7.16
MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$ python3 -V
Python 3.9.0
MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$

RE: PyInstaller on Mac ... does not work easily? - mu234 - Nov-20-2020

In addition, I do not have the pip :/

Output:MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$ sudo easy_install pip
sudo: unable to execute /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/easy_install: No such file or directory

RE: PyInstaller on Mac ... does not work easily? - mu234 - Nov-20-2020

OK, solved the problem with PIP with the "python3 get-pip.py" and now I have the pip version

Output:MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$ pip -V
pip 20.2.4 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

RE: PyInstaller on Mac ... does not work easily? - mu234 - Nov-20-2020

... and pyinstaller version is 4.0

Output:MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$ pyinstaller -v
4.0
MU234s-iMac:~ mu234$

IS THIS OK now?

RE: PyInstaller on Mac ... does not work easily? - mu234 - Nov-20-2020

OK, now I have followed your instructions and seems ok, but when I run the final .executable in district folder I get the following:
