Hi Maksym 😊 Let me know if I got you right - you were able to install 'auto-py-to-exe' and after it showed you it's installed in the terminal you typed 'auto-py-to-exe' and then it presented you with that error? Troubleshooting suggestions: - Do you have Python 3.4 or above? - Did you by any chance install it in one working environment and then tried to access it from another environment? or simply from the root? - Try uninstalling it and then installing it again - Try accessing it manually, here's how your path will look like: C:\Users\Mariya\anaconda3\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe Where you'll need to replace "Mariya" with your own username 😊 Good luck, and please let me know if one of these suggestions worked! 😀

I had the same exact problem, I am using python 3.9 so that shouldn't be an issue and I tried to access it manually, but for some reason, I couldn't find the exe file. What worked for me was once I installed it, I noticed that it gave the file directory for all of the files of auto-py-to-exe so I just did a control-f search (in the terminal after installation) for auto-py-to-exe.exe and copied the file directory that it gave and pasted it in file explorer and it worked perfectly. Probably not the way to fix the problem but it helps to get around the problem. I should also mention that I just graduated High School and have only been programming for a few months as a hobby, and I don't have much experience.

@@redthunder6183 *Solution* : Hi there, I got the same problem and i noticed that when i installed auto-py-to-exe it gave me a warning: WARNING: The scripts auto-py-to-exe.exe and autopytoexe.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\ARHYA\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location. So basically you need to add this location in your PATH variable of your system. To do this: 1. Find this link when u install it or you can get this link alternatively by running these lines in your python IDLE. 'import os' then 'import sys' then 'print(os.path.dirname(sys.executable)+'\\Scripts\\')' then copy the output which is the location that u need to add in the PATH variable. 2. Press windows key n type 'system environment', open the setting named 'Edit the system environment variables'. 3. Press the option labeled 'Environment Variables' . 4. Find 'Path' under system variables and double click on it. 5. Press 'New' and paste the the location which we copied. Make sure to press 'OK' to save the changes. 6. Open a new command prompt and try 'auto-py-to-exe' (Make sure u have it installed before running :) ). Now everything should work fine :P. (Note this kind of problem arises when u dont check the box which says 'Add python to PATH' when installing python. ) I hope this works for all of you. Best of luck :)

This is something that should be taught in intro to programming courses because more people would start to make their own tools

I definitely agree! The whole purpose of my channel is to inspire lovely developers to create their own projects! 😊 This is the best way to learn, practice and get better and better and what we do. I am a thousand times more confident in my programming skills since I stated building my own projects, even though I still have so much to learn! 😀 Programming courses are great, but sometimes they limit our imagination and creativity. I prefer the trial and error way 😉

This is definitely not. python files designed to be executed with an interpreter and exe files are created with compilers. This is a cool but not an out of the box solution, so teaching this in a programming intro course will only cause confusion to someone who is new to programming.

@@ovs_cosplay If you have written a python project and you want to deploy it for other people to use, what's the best deployment method? Exe is such a standard, if you want other people to use your code. Also, if you want to protect and obfuscate your code, so that it cannot be reverse engineered, will it be safe once converted to exe? Is there a way to obfuscate code if you're deploying on pypi for example?

Hey Mariya, thanks for the nice intro on auto-py-to-exe. You included those PNGs to your exe, but how do you access them from your code after they were packed? Usually I'd do something like >>> os.path.join(__file__, "../image.png")

Thank you Mariya I did this eventually, although you made the hard part look really easy. To get from 0.30 to 0.45 took me several hours. The things you did would not work in command prompt, you have to get anaconda, then anaconda navigator, then from navigator you can run a terminal in main virtual environment where you can install auto-py-to-exe, then with this app you can finally convert .py to .exe

thankfully the package you install does all the heavy lifting which is why it isn't complicated. Kinda how we can say "oh driving isnt as complicated as I thought", but really the engine and how everything works is abstracted away behind a steering wheel and some buttons. But thats the power of python: there probably exists a library for what you want to do. But you can also implement stuff from scratch if that's what you want to do too - I find that it personally helps me get a deeper understanding of concepts

This isn't really "converting" it's bundling, it's just wrapping the Python + the python runtime and your files into an executable. If you wanted to truly convert Python to native code there is one project called Nukita, that does whole program source file to source file conversation. This however takes a huge amount of time because it has to convert and compile everything including all your library dependencies.
