PyGame cannot load a file when coverted with Autopytoexe [duplicate]

I have python 3.9 I used the command 'pip install auto-py-to-exe' and it downloaded but when I tried to using the command 'auto-py-to-exe' the program just said " 'auto-py-to-exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.". I have the latest version of PIP and I also have PATH. What can I do to fix this?

This works on VSCode:
python -m auto_py_to_exe

If I install "auto-py-to-exe" using following command, as described in this link as well as from the comment from Justin Ezequiel (above):
python -m pip install auto-py-to-exe
I am able to run it (in Windows 10) using following command:
python -m auto_py_to_exe

This gave me quite a bit of trouble, as none of the above solutions worked for me. Spent lots of time trying to figure out what I should be adding to PATH with no success.
My issue stemmed from (I think) the fact that I have been using python downloaded from the windows store, which uses a different location to store python in.
With the manual install of python (https://www.python.org) you can specify where python is downloaded and automatically add that location to path.
Steps I took to solve the problem:
Uninstall all versions of python downloaded from the windows store via settings (settings > apps > python > uninstall)
Uninstall all version of python via the control panel (control panel > add or remove programs > python x.x.x > uninstall)
Uninstall auto-py-to-exe (pip uninstall auto-py-to-exe) in case it didnt do that automatically
Install python from python.org. (auto-py-to-exe is not supported in versions greater than 3.10 as of 1/23/2023). So I installed Python 3.10
The settings which were successful for me were:
Custom installation,
check install python for all users,
check add to path,
input 'C:\Python310' (with the respective version number) for install location,
install
Check new python version has been installed python --version
Check pip is installed pip --version
Install auto-py-to-exe pip install auto-py-to-exe
When auto-py-to-exe finishes installing, scroll up through the install info and make sure there are no warnings that state there is a location not found in PATH. If there are, you'll have to do some other research on adding those locations to PATH appropriately (since I don't think I was doing that right).
Assuming no PATH warnings,
9. Run auto-py-to-exe

First you need to type in the terminal (not Python):
auto-py-to-exe
If you are currently in python use exit() to exit then try the above code.

It Depends on in which environment you have installed
Make sure to replace {User} with your user
In Conda Enviournment go to below location Manually
C:\Users\{User}\anaconda3\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe
In Pip, Environment go to the location below
C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe
or you can add this path to your environment variable as well for accessing these from anywhere

First check you installed it
pip install auto-py-to-exe
then restart your vscode and check another time.
If still an error, check it in CMD.

As suggested above use:
pip show --files auto-py-to-exe to find out in what directory pip has
installed the scripts. Double check the directory is in %PATH%
This will show you where the installer has placed the binary files. I then changed to that directory which circumvents any path issue. I tried to run the files and found :
OSError: [WinError 1920] The file cannot be accessed by the system: 'C:\\Users\\aaaa\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\\python.exe'
PS C:\users\aaaa\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python37\Scripts>
In my case, although I haven't worked out how to fix it yet... It would seem to be trying to refer to an incorrect Python executable, the files in that directory are all 0 length. Unfortunately the "python -m" suggestion didn't work for me, so it's back to the drawing board. Hope that helps you confirm if it's the right solution to chase down.

You need to make sure you have typed cd C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts as a separate command, and then auto-py-to-exe with python 3. Check in file explorer to make sure your path is correct if the cd fails.

'robot is not recognized as an internal or external command'

Problem: I am trying to running my Dummy.robot test script in the terminal via cmd line: robot -d results tests/dummy.robot. However, it is returning the error 'robot' is not recognized as an internal or external command. I sensed that perhaps the robotframework was not properly installed or in the correct directory because the keywords "Open Browser" (see below) was already detected as invalid syntax prior to running.
Troubleshooting Methods:
Checked that both robotframework and robotframework-seleniumlibarary were installed
Installed intellibot on PyCharm and restarted IDE
Made sure I provided the correct path to the script within my project directory as shown below.
Checked that Python 39 and Python39/Scripts was added to my PATH although I am not sure if this is relevant because it just allows me to use pip for installing robotframework later.
Selected the interpreter for this "dummy" project from where that python.exe is located.

I think, going by your terminal pic, it looks like you have a virtual environment: (base). As #TodorMinakov suggested, fire the command pip list in your terminal path (same path as shown in the pic). If Robot Framework libs exist there, then it should be fine. Then try the command python -m robot -d results tests/dummy.robot But if libs are not in the folder, then you have to do pip install for them from Terminal for right installation (which means, your installed libs are in your native directory while you are working in virtual env).
Since you are working with Pycharm IDE, it is better if you could use its terminal instead of using a command line tool such as bash or command prompt. Try this too.
To check if the libs installed are in System Python, you have to go to your folder site packages (eg: C://Python39/Lib/site-packages), you would find all the natively installed libraries here. In case of virtual environment, you have to check in your present directory (where the code exists). There should be a folder by the name venv (or 'base'), which will comprise of the python paths eg: (venv/Lib/site-packages)

I have experienced the same issue and it was a pip versioning issue. It got resolved after installing the upgraded pip version and then reinstalling the robot framework and Appium library. Thanks

Use the terminal in Admin mode.
pip uninstall robotframework
upgrade pip
again pip install robotframework

python -- manually install downloaded module without admin rights

I am trying to install the python package us without admin privileges.
I have tried pip install us in Anaconda prompt to no avail.
I have also tried the suggestion listed here: Install python modules on windows without admin rights--didn't work.
I have now downloaded the files from the site https://pypi.org/project/us/ to my desktop and need to know how to install the package from here.
I am using the Spyder IDE and Python 3.7. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

I do this on the daily and if I understand what you are saying you are doing it right. If pip install us in command prompt or shell (if you are using Windows OS) doesn't work try py -m pip install us. Make sure you are using command prompt and not using your IDEz
As you can see it worked first try for me.

Since you have downloaded the files, Extract them in a folder and normally a setup.py file must be include, open command prompt in that folder and run :
python setup.py install

Installing IbPy to be used in spyder (anaconda)

I have installed Anaconda and currently using Spyder IDE.
I am trying to install a package (IbPy -> https://github.com/blampe/IbPy) so that it can be used in Spyder.
So far I tried pip install ibpy, as well as conda install ibpy, but without success since the package is not available in the anaconda repository where I would normally update and download the most common packages.
I have also tried to move the folder downloaded from GitHub to the correct site-packages folder of Anaconda (C:\Users\Username\Anaconda2\Lib\site-packages), but still it does not work.
I also tried to run the setup.py (shift + right click on the folder, open new process here, Setup.py install), but without any success.
I tried to look for a solution everywhere, but I have had no luck so far.
If someone more tech savvy than me and practical with these specific could help, it would be highly appreciated.

You need to install it from github. Use the following.
pip install https://github.com/blampe/IbPy/zipball/master

You need to do a open terminal from the Anaconda Navigator and run the command:
conda install -c tibkiss ibpy2

how to get spyder's python recognize external packages on MacOS X?

I have spyderlib installed on my MacOS X (10.6.8) using the official dmg file. In parallel, I have installed packages using both pip and homebrew from the terminal (i.e. opencv, gdal...). As Spyder is using its own python version, I cannot access my external packages within Spyder.
When Homebrew install a package, it instals it in the /usr/local/lib... directory, which is not avalaible to add using the Python Path manager of Spyder.The entire directory /usr/... is hidden.
The only relevant similar case I found online was the following:
Adding a module (Specifically pymorph) to Spyder (Python IDE)
I have tried unsuccessfuly their recommendations. So two related questions to tackle the problem:
1- would it be possible to actually use in Spyder the same python as the one accessed in the terminal?
2- otherwise, how to add external packages to the Spyder's original python, when the packages are installed in the folder /usr/local... ?
Thanks

I don't use a mac, but I would go with option 1, building and installing Spyder on your regular Python.
Install PyQt4 if you don't have it:
brew install pyqt
Then download the Spyder 2.2.5 source (spyder-2.2.5.zip) from here, unzip the folder where you like.
Then open a terminal, and go inside the Spyder source folder (you must input the next commands from inside this folder).
Then build using your regular python executable:
python setup.py build
and install:
python setup.py install
If all dependencies are met, you should then have Spyder as a package under your main Python installation. There should be a script to execute it under the Scripts folder.
You can also see "Install or run directly from source" from the main Spyder installation page.
