PyCharm Advanced Tutorial: Use PyInstaller to package code into EXE format

PyCharm is a powerful Python integrated development environment that provides a wealth of functions and tools to help developers improve efficiency. Among them, PyInstaller is a commonly used tool that can package Python code into an executable file (EXE format) to facilitate running on machines without a Python environment.

In this article, we will introduce how to use PyInstaller in PyCharm to package Python code into EXE format, and provide specific code examples. First, make sure you have PyCharm and PyInstaller installed.

Step 1: Create a Python project

Create a new Python project in PyCharm and write your Python code. In this example, we created a simple Python script with the following content:

# hello.py
def say_hello():
    print("Hello, PyCharm!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    say_hello()

This script is very simple and contains only one function say_hello(), which is used to print "Hello, PyCharm !".

Step 2: Install PyInstaller

Open the PyCharm terminal (Terminal) and run the following command to install PyInstaller:

pip install pyinstaller

After the installation is complete, we can start using PyInstaller to generate executable file.

Step 3: Use PyInstaller to generate the EXE file

In the PyCharm terminal, switch to the project directory and run the following command to use PyInstaller to generate the EXE file:

pyinstaller --onefile hello.py

In In this command, the --onefile parameter indicates generating a single independent executable file. After executing the above command, PyInstaller will automatically package the Python code into an executable file in a folder named dist. You can find the generated EXE file in the dist folder.

Step 4: Test the executable file

Run the generated EXE file to verify whether it can be executed successfully. You can test it by double-clicking the EXE file or running it from the command line.

Through the above steps, we successfully used PyInstaller to package Python code into EXE format. In this way, we can easily run our Python program on a machine that does not have a Python environment. I hope this tutorial can help you, and I wish you happy programming!
