I get an error when I try to start an exe file with pywinauto. This is my code:
from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application()
app.Start("D:\dragonboy160\dragonboy160.exe")
As far as I know that should work. app = Application().start("") does not work either. I also tried setting the imports like this: from pywinauto import Application I get this error when I run the python file in PyCharm:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\python.exe" D:/dragonboy160/screenview.py

I searched and searched and it seems no other person has had this problem. I also tried opening other .exe files but got the same error. What is causing this error and how can I fix it?
This is an import problem (at the very first line).
This looks like comtypes can't write cached files to Program files without admin privileges. In theory it might be fixed on comtypes side (or by re-installing Python to another folder like C:\Python3x), but you will have to run the script as Administrator anyway because of other OS restrictions (pywinauto will warn about insufficient rights in nearest future, now it's silent).
I had the same problem and I managed to have it fixed by disabling UAC from Windows.

I'm trying to create an exe out of my Python script. After a long journey of problem solving, I finally made it with Pyinstaller. I got a build folder, a dist folder, and the needed exe file.
Now, when I try to run the program, it doesn't work, although it does work in my IDE, PyCharm. If I just click on it, the cmd just opens for a ms and closes right away. If I start it via the cmd, it shows the error you can see below.
Normally there should be a main_window generated by my script, and like I said, it works when I start it from pycharm directly, so the code shouldn't be the problem.
I need the program on another PC without Pycharm at all, so I definitely need this exe file. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!

[8896] Failed to execute script 'main_' due to unhandled exception!
I was working with python (which I rarely do) for a simple program that macros some functionalities with certain keyboard inputs. I decided to export the script to a .exe using pyinstaller so I go ahead and run command: pyinstaller --onefile code.py and it generates the code.exe as expected. Only for my .exe to crash instantly. I got a view of the error by running it with cmd and got this

I'm certain there is an explanation to this so here are my imports:
from pynput import keyboard
from pynput.keyboard import Key
from pywinauto import application
from pywinauto.findwindows
import WindowAmbiguousError, WindowNotFoundError
import os
I couldn't seem to find any similar problems on here. Thank you in advance for the help.
In your .spec file, you should add all of your modules as "hidden imports", this usually fixes all module not found errors.
hiddenimport=["pynput","pywinauto"]
Then run pyinstaller with the spec file
pyinstaller my.spec
I'd also ensure you're using a virtual environment during this entire process.
I was trying to execute the following command on windows 10 machine using python 3.5.4,
from pywinauto.application import Application
Following is the error which i was receiving

Is there a way i can fix this ?
Try running the script with administrative privileges. Just by looking at the traceback it looks like some cached files that pywinauto import tried to write but later on it wasn't found, and generally the script can't write the file due to permissions. If the above don't work, try installing python somewhere else (C:/Python with full privileges in order to isolate the issue)
This is comtypes issue. It will be fixed soon (EDIT: fixed in comtypes==1.1.7). You can downgrade to one of previous versions: pip install comtypes==1.1.2. Or run script as Administrator as Rodolfo suggested (disabling UAC may not help, need to say explicitly to "run as Administrator" by popup menu).
I am new to Python and am trying to use anaconda to do some data analysis. I am using Python 3.6.2 along with the geany text editor.
First, I'm trying to execute a file call panda.py which only contains import pandas as dp.
When I configure geany with a working directory of C:\Users\Anaconda3\python, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: module 'numbers' has no attribute 'Integral'
The same error also occurs when I enter the following at the command prompt:
C:\Users\Anaconda3\python.exe C:\Users\Documents\python_work\panda.py
However, if I execute C:\Users\David\Anaconda3\python.exe and then enter import pandas as dp in the REPL, it appears to load without error.
Any idea how I can fix this so I can use anaconda with geany?
[SOLVED] John below ask if I had a file called numbers.py in my directory which made me realize I named an exercise I previously did as numbers.py. Once I removed it, the error went away (I tested it further by adding a file with the name again and the error returned).
I'm new to the stack over flow community. Let me know if there's anything else I need to do to close out this question.
Also thanks to chb for the edits to my original question the format looks much easier to read.
Disclaimer: python on windows is not something I know about
You know that C:\Users\David\Anaconda3\python.exe when run standalone knows how to import pandas, so your setup is fine - you have everything installed that you need, and in the correct locations.
Given that, you can look at two issues: gearny setup, and general setup. I noticed that python and pandas is installed under C:\Users\Anaconda3, while your program is under C:\Users\Documents\python_work, and we also have C:\Users\David - could it be permissions issues?
I wrote a program it works fine without any errors when I run it from the python interpreter, I then used py2exe to turn it in to an .exe but when I run it it does'nt work anymore... I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pass.py", line 1, in <module>
File "dropbox\__init__.pyc", line 3, in <module>
File "dropbox\client.pyc", line 22, in <module>

File "pkg_resources.pyc", line 1638, in get_resource_filename
NotImplementedError: resource_filename() only supported for .egg, not .zip
Am I supposed to do something when using py2exe when I have downloaded modules imported into the program?
these are the modules imported :
import dropbox
import os
import getpass
from time import sleep
please help !
I fixed this problem using the solution found here
basically you modify ~line 26 in rest.py found in the dropbox library
to this:
try:
TRUSTED_CERT_FILE = pkg_resources.resource_filename(__name__, 'trusted-certs.crt')
except:
# if current module is frozen, use library.zip path for trusted-certs.crt path
# trusted-certs.crt must exist in same directory as library.zip
if hasattr(sys,'frozen'):
resource_name = sys.prefix
resource_name.strip('/')
resource_name += '/trusted-certs.crt'
TRUSTED_CERT_FILE = resource_name
else:
raise
and then place the trusted-certs.crt file also found in the dropbox library in the same folder as your executable
