I want to compile a python script (GUI application written by pyqt5) into a single exe file. I have successfully done it on window with pyinstaller. However, when I tried the same thing on Linux(CentOS7), it turned out to be a "shared library" items. I could still run the file from terminal but I want to get an applicaiton that can be opened by simply double-click.

I have a Python application built under PyInstaller on a MAC. I do not want to have a terminal window when it is running so I specified the --noconsole option. Apparently, under MACos, this option still provides a console (terminal) window if you use the EXE file. If you use the MAC application package to start, then you do not have the console/terminal window.
The problem is that the program reads a data file at initialization. When I run the EXE, that data file is in the same directory as the EXE and it loads fine. But when it runs as an app, it reads from the default working directory and I have no idea where that is. So it can't find the data file required. And reading further it seems from MAC OS to OS the working directory location might change. I moved the data file where the EXE is in the MAC application, but when Python reads that is not the directory it is reading from.
So how can I place the required data file somewhere the Python application (not running the EXE directly) will find it.
Under Windows, the data file is just in the same directory where the EXE is running and there is no console window. There is no concept of the MAC application type. But if I don't want to have the Terminal window, I need to resolve where to place a data file so that will be found.
I suggest digesting some of these basic Apple macOS developer documents. All your answers will come through understanding these.

I would like to create an executable file from my python project that consists of one python file that uses gecodriver.exe, I have tried using pyinstaller for this matter, however the program closes as soon as it opens, basically it doesn't work. I suspect that the .exe file that is created by pyinstaller does not include or cannot see geckodriver. Any sugestions how to make it work will be helpful.
I am trying to turn a .py file into .exe so that it's runnable on other computers without python. I followed this tutorial, installed pyinstaller then ran the command pyinstaller --onefile IRV.py without the -w since my program runs in the console. It successfully built the .exe file but when I run it it immediately closes even though the program itself asks for input at the beginning. It uses a bunch of .txt and .xslx files from the folder of the .py file so I dragged the .exe out of the dist folder but it still gives the same error. I managed to make a quick print screen before it closes and it gives me this error: https://imgur.com/a/w7TVjaN
The script doesn't even work if I double click the .py file. However it runs perfectly fine if I open up the .py file in an IDE like Spyder. When I run the .exe file it opens up the cmd for a few seconds with nothing written on it and then quickly writes that error I managed to screenshot and then closes. If I double click the .py though it instantly closes without the wait or the error message.
Pyinstaller didn't find the libraries or modules you imported. In the build folder that was deleted in the tutorial, there's a text document that shows warnings for libraries that aren't found by the pyinstaller. You may need to check that.
This Q&A mentioned a problem that is related to your Question: No module error when running python script from command prompt
I wrote a program in Python that includes external files, including images and a GUI .ui file.
I want to convert the Python script to a single executable (.exe) file using PyInstaller. When I try to open the .exe file, the program does not open.
You will need more information on why the application is closing immediately in order to solve your problem. To view the error messages associated with running your executable, run the .exe file from the command prompt: /path/to/app/dist/MyApp.exe. This will allow you to observe any errors that may exist after the app was bundled. If the program fails during an import statement, you may need to add a package to the hiddenimports list in the .spec file. Check the PyInstaller documentation for instructions on modifying the .spec file.
I am trying to run my python(3) web service using IIS 8 following the instruction provided here
Everything is fine to the point where I try to add "FastCgi Module" in "Add Module Mapping" section. The problem is when I click on OK on "Add Module Mapping" window, the error pops up:
The specified executable for the handler must be .dll or .exe file. If the path to the script processor (only in the case of a .exe file) has spaces, use " marks to specify the executable.
I suppose there has to be a FastCgi.dll?
Is there a better way to achieve that?
P.S: I have read an ample of instructions regarding running python 2.6 web services on IIS using ISAPI_WSGI Handler and there are warnings regarding using it on later python versions, I wonder if that instructions hold up using python 3.3.6.
When you add Executable setting, it must be an executable, this means that is has to be either .exe or .dll. If you look at the picture in the instructions, you will see an executable there (python.exe).
If you don't provide path to an executable, error that specified executable must be .dll or .exe will pop up. Make sure you are referring to an executable there and it should be fine then.
