Trying to freeze the tutorial app but stuck at fbs freeze

[rmndrs89]

Dear all,

I am trying to take the tutorial, however I am stuck at fbs freeze, where I get the following error code:

fbs freeze Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\fbstut\Scripts\pyinstaller.exe\__main__.py", line 7, in <module> File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\__main__.py", line 111, in run run_build(pyi_config, spec_file, **vars(args)) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\__main__.py", line 63, in run_build PyInstaller.building.build_main.main(pyi_config, spec_file, **kwargs) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\build_main.py", line 838, in main build(specfile, kw.get('distpath'), kw.get('workpath'), kw.get('clean_build')) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\build_main.py", line 784, in build exec(text, spec_namespace) File "<string>", line 18, in <module> File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\api.py", line 98, in __init__ self.__postinit__() File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\datastruct.py", line 158, in __postinit__ self.assemble() File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\api.py", line 128, in assemble self.code_dict = { File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\api.py", line 129, in <dictcomp> key: strip_paths_in_code(code) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\utils.py", line 662, in strip_paths_in_code return code_func(co.co_argcount, co.co_kwonlyargcount, co.co_nlocals, co.co_stacksize, TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes) Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\fbstut\Scripts\fbs.exe\__main__.py", line 7, in <module> File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\fbs\__main__.py", line 17, in _main fbs.cmdline.main() File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\fbs\cmdline.py", line 32, in main fn(*args) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\fbs\builtin_commands\__init__.py", line 120, in freeze freeze_windows(debug=debug) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\fbs\freeze\windows.py", line 18, in freeze_windows run_pyinstaller(args, debug) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\site-packages\fbs\freeze\__init__.py", line 47, in run_pyinstaller run(args, check=True) File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\envs\fbstut\lib\subprocess.py", line 512, in run raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args, subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['pyinstaller', '--name', 'TutorialApp', '--noupx', '--log-level', 'ERROR', '--noconfirm', '--windowed', '--icon', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\src\\main\\icons\\Icon.ico', '--distpath', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\target', '--specpath', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\target\\PyInstaller', '--workpath', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\target\\PyInstaller', '--additional-hooks-dir', 'c:\\programdata\\anaconda3\\envs\\fbstut\\lib\\site-packages\\fbs\\freeze\\hooks', '--runtime-hook', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\target\\PyInstaller\\fbs_pyinstaller_hook.py', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\src\\main\\python\\main.py']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Perhaps it's noteworthy, but I am working on Win 10, and have installed PyQt5==5.12.2 rather than PyQt5==5.9.2

Best,

From https://build-system.fman.io/troubleshooting:

The most common mistake
fbs only supports Python versions 3.5 and 3.6! Many problems reported by users are caused by using a non-standard distribution such as Anaconda, or Python 3.7
