How can I convert "shiny for python" to ".exe" executable file.

[HotWesley]

Because of the project, I need to convert Shiny for Python into an exe executable file.

I tried several tests using pyinstaller, but I failed. Is this possible?

It's not a Pyinstaller problem, it's an error within the shiny for python package. It looks like a bug. Below is the test I tried, can you check it??

Below is a conversation I had with the developer of pyinstaller. Please refer to it.

I'd appreciate it if you could answer me.

Have a nice day :)

Interesting idea. I would disagree with the assertion, however:

sys.stderr.write(f"Error: {module_path} not found\n") is a bug in Shiny. It's assuming that a console is available which isn't true for windowed applications.

because Shiny wasn't intended for that use case.

That said, it might be worth it to try replacing sys.stderr.write() with print(..., file=sys.stderr) to see if it works with pyinstaller.

Thank you for your comment!

how about this.
I modify main.py code as below and run .exe file
(remove "from shiny._main import ...." code and add app.run())

from shiny import App, render, ui

app_ui = ui.page_fluid(
    ui.input_slider("n", "N", 0, 100, 20),
    ui.output_text_verbatim("txt"),
)


def server(input, output, session):
    @output
    @render.text
    def txt():
        return f"n*2 is {input.n() * 2}"


app = App(app_ui, server)

app.run()

Then this error has occurred.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
