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.

Issue adding site-packages directory to PYTHONPATH in Spyder

I am using Spyder and trying to add /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH Manager. However, I receive an error informing me "This directory cannot be added to PATH. If you want to set a different Python interpreter, please go to Preferences > Main Interpreter".
However, I have already changed my interpreter to point to /usr/bin/python3
At the moment, I am using the rather annoying work around of putting the following at the top of all my code.
import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages")
Typing the following gives me the below. Is there a way which I can even ensure after running pip3 install XXX in the terminal, that the packages are downloaded somewhere such as the below?
for p in sys.path: print(p)
/Users/user
/usr/local/lib/python3.7
/Users/user/opt/anaconda3/lib/python37.zip
/Users/user/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7
/Users/user/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload
/Users/user/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages
/Users/user/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/aeosa
/Users/user/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/extensions
/Users/user/.ipython
Alternatively, and preferably, advice on how to add the above site-packages directory to my PATH? I feel I am missing something obvious.

(Spyder maintainer here) We forbid adding site-packages directories through our PYTHONPATH manager because it allows people to mix two different Python versions (which is what you're trying to do by adding your system site-packages to your Anaconda's Python).
And we do that because it usually generates odd errors and segfaults for binary packages such as Numpy, Pandas and Matplotlib, given that binary packages for one Python version are incompatible with packages for another one.
Finally, even though you found a workaround for that (by using sys.path), we strongly suggest you to stop doing that because it'll give you nothing by headaches in the future.

Doing what you are asking isn't the recommended path forward but you can solve the underlying problem in either of the following ways (A or B).
To "ensure pip installs packages to another location which Spyder can see" as the asker guessed in a comment on the accepted answer which got no answer (Method B below) is usually not a good idea. Keeping a clean environment for Spyder will ensure that you can determine requirements (including package version) for each of your projects reliably. Therefore, do the reverse of what you guessed: Ensure Spyder uses the Python interpreter in the environment where pip installed your project's required packages.
A. Change the Python interpreter
Go to Tools, Preferences, and set Python interpreter to the python executable that was used to install the package (If using a virtual environment, it would be your_other_env/bin/python).
Close and reopen Spyder (Spyder says to restart the IPython console, but it may not work in this case and show the error where Spyder cannot restart a kernel it didn't start).
Open Spyder again and run any py file. You will get an error that says to install the spyder-kernels package (for some reason pip 22.0.4 will only install spyder_kernels: This issue is at "spyder-kernels should be spyder_kernels" :edit: but the issue is invalid, so upgrade pip first such as via pip install --upgrade pip in your virtual environment). Take note of the version in the error, since that is the version you need.
If you are using conda or are on Windows the instructions will differ, so see Common Illnesses in the Spyder documentation instead of continuing this step.
source your_other_env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install spyder-kernels=...
deactivate
but change ... to the version shown in your Spyder error from step 3. If you installed Spyder with conda as recommended, use the commands from the URL above instead.
I don't recommend Method B, as I've explained. However, it may be useful if you are manually installing Spyder plugins or test suites that apply to all projects but aren't in the requirements.txt or setup.py requirements for your project(s) (and therefore don't affect determining requirements for your users).
B. To "ensure pip installs packages to another location which Spyder can see" you would run "spyder_env/bin/python -m pip install ..." to install the package, where spyder_env is the virtualenv where Spyder is installed (but if Spyder is installed in the system using an installer or linux distro package, you may need to use your system's python such as via python3 -m pip install --user ... where ... is the package name. Always use --user instead of sudo or root to avoid mismatched files caused by mashing together the distro-packaged modules and your manually installed modules).

Vim syntastic shows import error for Python VirtualEnv libraries

I have scrooloose/syntastic Plugin install on my vim. And I have installed pylint library globally.
sudo python -m pip install pylint
However for my project I have VirtualEnv and all the necessary libraries for that project is installed in VirtualEnv.
The problem is,
Syntastic shows import error for libraries which are part of virtualenv
My Jedi-vim plugin shows me all the suggestion and I am able to run the problem so there is nothing wrong from python side.

You have to install pylint inside your virtualenv to be recognized by syntastic.
The easiest way is to run
(virtualenv) $ pip install pylint
inside your virtualenv.
If you have too many projects and want to avoid running that command to install pylint to each project you can make vim run it for you. Add the following to your .vimrc:
py3 << EOF
import os
if 'VIRTUAL_ENV' in os.environ:
os.system('pip install pylint')
EOF
This will not avoid using the virtualenv pylint, as this will install pylint to each virtualenv that you open with vim.
I believe it is possible to change the pylint path using g:syntastic_python_pylint_exe but as you can see here, it is not recommended (pylint is dependent on the python version and it would be easy to mess up the versions I guess).
Notice that this approach adds some delay when opening the file, but if you don't mind wait 1 second more to open your file, this approach is interesting.

Emacs: Program named "virtualenv" does not exist

I encountered the following error message, when I was in python mode.
Error (jedi): Failed to start Jedi EPC server.
*** You may need to run "M-x jedi:install-server". ***
This could solve the problem especially if you haven't run the command yet
since Jedi.el installation or update and if the server complains about
Python module imports.
Then I tried M-x jedi:install-server. Then it complained that
Program named "virtualenv" does not exist
Now from the results I got from google, I added the following line to my emacs.d/init.el file, but still I am getting the same error. Please note that I am using Windows 7
(when (memq window-system '(mac ns))
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize))
Trying to set up jedi in emacs under Windows environment has caused me so much time and trouble already, I just want to complete this once and for all.
Ideally, I am looking for an answer that lists out all the steps I need to setup the virtualenv (on Windows 7) in emacs.

I had the same problem but on Windows 10. I got it working by these steps:
In terminal (cmd/powershell/..):
pip install virtualenv
After that, in emacs:
M-x jedi:install-server
And Emacs could install the server.
FYI, I'm running python3.5, pip version 19.2.3, emacs26.2, W10

I think it is clear that virtualenv is missing. So you need to do
just two things. With this way you don't bother with PATH variable and all
that.
install virtualenv however you feel comfortable, (I use conda package manager for everything python related and have the installation instructions for that, feel free to use pip or whatever)
conda activate yourenv
conda install virtualenv
conda list virtualenv #check if virtualenv is actually installed
Find where the virtualenv is located (as I use conda, I know the files are in bin folder in my installation)
and then show jedi where virtualenv is in emacs C-h v jedi:environment-virtualenv "~/path-to-conda-env/bin/virtualenv"). For more help look in the documentation in Configuration or
comment below.
M-x jedi:install-server in emacs
Test on a .py file.
