How to convert your Python script into an executable file (from .py to .exe)

1. pip install pyinstaller
2. Go to the folder which contains your python script (.py)... e.g. C:\user\Tim\
3. pyinstaller.exe --onefile --icon=sun_icon.ico python_script.py --noconsole

• icon (*.ico) file should be in the same folder as your python script
• --noconsole will eliminate the black screen that appears on running the exe file
• "--hidden-import=modulename" will ensure that python also includes modules (that tend to be hidden) into the exe file (not guaranteed to work)
• "-v" for verbose/detailed log

4. Go into the "dist" subfolder i.e. C:\user\Tim\dist\
5. Run the .exe file
Note: If the file appears to be stuck in a black screen, ensure any related images are also copied to the "dist" folder where the .exe file is located.
