PyCharm Tutorial: How to package Python code into an EXE file

In this article, we will introduce a common method in PyCharm to package Python code into an executable EXE file by using PyInstaller. PyInstaller is a tool for converting Python applications into independent executable files. It can package Python code into EXE, APP, Linux and other formats, making it convenient for users to run Python programs in environments that do not have a Python interpreter installed.

Step 1: Install PyInstaller

First, make sure you have PyInstaller installed. If it is not installed, you can install it in PyCharm's terminal with the following command:

pip install pyinstaller

Step 2: Write Python code

Next, we need to write a simple Python code example so that it can be Convert to EXE file. The following is a sample code, saved as hello.py:

def say_hello():
    print("Hello, World!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    say_hello()

Step 3: Use PyInstaller to package into an EXE file

Enter the following command in the PyCharm terminal to Python code is packaged into an EXE file:

pyinstaller --onefile hello.py

The --onefile parameter in this command specifies that the generated EXE file is a single file. If multiple files need to be generated, this parameter can be removed.

Step 4: View the generated EXE file

In the PyCharm project directory, you can find a folder named dist, which will contain the generated EXE file . You can double-click this EXE file to run your Python program.

Notes

• When writing Python code, avoid using some environment-dependent paths, such as absolute paths, etc.
• During the packaging process, some warnings or errors may occur, which need to be handled according to specific circumstances.
• If third-party libraries are used, you need to ensure that these libraries have been installed before packaging.

Through the above steps, you can easily package Python code into an EXE file in PyCharm to facilitate running your Python program elsewhere. Hope this tutorial helps you!
