Error loading Python lib pyinstaller (detailed description of different attempts taken)

Question

Error loading Python lib The name of my python script is kled.py

This is the message I used to create it:

pyinstaller kled.py --windowed Here is the error message I get when I execute the terminal file located in dist-->(a folder called kled)-->(executable terminal file called kled)

[3173] Error loading Python lib '/Users/john/Documents/chill.py/kledfinal/dist/kled/Python': dlopen: dlopen(/Users/john/Documents/chill.py/kledfinal/dist/kled/Python, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /Users/john/Documents/chill.py/kledfinal/dist/kled/Python: code signature invalid for '/Users/john/Documents/chill.py/kledfinal/dist/kled/Python'

When I double click the application it has created it appears to open in my dock, and then goes away, nothing actually opens.

Here are the resources I've already looked at but didn't find success from:

https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2150

• I don't understand the solution they found. The two people troubleshooting didn't explain the steps they were taking so I couldn't follow.

https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/3499

• This is where I got the idea to change my spec files, because in his pyinstaller command it seems like he has a specific spec file he was trying to use.

https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/spec-files.html

• I thought maybe I could edit my spec file to include the modules or python version it might be missing, but no other results told me how to properly set up my spec file to do this. I was originally trying to use py2app and if any of you know it, you will know that setup.py basically lets you hand pick all the files and stuff you need. Unfortunately py2app has a huge amount of issues in general so I decided my error wasn't going to get fixed, but pyinstaller seems to have some experts so maybe you guys can help.

Error loading Python lib with PyInstaller on MacOS

• went through the steps and it just didn't work for me. Same outcome where the application doesn't work and the executable terminal file called kled says that it had an Error loading python lib.

RESOURCES YOU MIGHT NEED (idk I'm just guessing but here is some stuff)

**Python version:**

Python 3.8.2

Modules I am trying to use:

pygame time random sys os pickle

MacOS version:

macOS Catalina

Version 10.15.4

My warn-kled.txt file:

This file lists modules PyInstaller was not able to find. This does not
necessarily mean this module is required for running you program. Python and
Python 3rd-party packages include a lot of conditional or optional modules. For
example the module 'ntpath' only exists on Windows, whereas the module
'posixpath' only exists on Posix systems.

Types if import:
* top-level: imported at the top-level - look at these first
* conditional: imported within an if-statement
* delayed: imported from within a function
* optional: imported within a try-except-statement

IMPORTANT: Do NOT post this list to the issue-tracker. Use it as a basis for
           yourself tracking down the missing module. Thanks!

Answer 1

The latest Pyinstaller(release3.6)just supports Python 2.7, 3.5–3.7

So, downgrade Python3.8 Everything is OK.
