Python - 使用Pyinstaller将Python代码生成可执行文件

1 - Pyinstaller简介

Home-page: http://www.pyinstaller.org

PyInstaller是一个能够在多系统平台（Windows、*NIX、Mac OS）上将Python程序冻结（打包）为独立可执行文件的工具。

可以捆绑所需的第三方库，并可与绝大多数常见的库和框架配合使用；

可以与Python2.7和3.3-3.6协同工作，由于透明压缩而构建了更小的可执行文件；

使用OS支持来加载动态库，从而确保完全兼容；

2 - Pyinstaller安装

3 - 使用Pyinstaller

3-1 文件及目录

通过“pyinstaller [...] scriptname”方式运行，将会默认生成以下文件及目录：

.spec

打包配置文件，事后可删除

控制参数：--specpath DIR Folder to store the generated spec file (default: current directory)

使用pyinstaller时，默认会在当前的路径下生成一个以spec为后缀的打包配置文件，pyinstaller依据spec文件的内容来创建exe文件；

正常情况下，不需要去修改这个spec文件，除非需要打包其他数据文件；

build/

存放过程文件，事后可删除

控制参数：--workpath WORKPATH Where to put all the temporary work files, .log, .pyz and etc. (default: .\build)

dist/

存放捆绑的应用程序，包含生成好的exe文件

控制参数：--distpath DIR Where to put the bundled app (default: .\dist)

3-2 常用命令选项

--distpath DIR        # 指定捆绑应用程序的存放路径和目录
--workpath WORKPATH        # 指定存放临时文件的路径和目录
-y, --noconfirm        # 无询问覆盖目录
--clean        # 清除缓存文件
--log-level LEVEL        # 指定日志等级

-D, --onedir        # 生成一个包含exe文件和依赖文件的目录
-F, --onefile        # 只生成一个包含依赖的exe格式文件
--specpath DIR        # 指定存放spec文件的目录
-n NAME, --name NAME        # 指定输出文件名称（默认为第一个文件名）
-c, --console, --nowindowed        # 使用控制台（命令行窗口）作为标准IO（默认）
-w, --windowed, --noconsole        # 不使用控制台（命令行窗口）作为标准IO（不适用*NIX系统）
-i <FILE.ico or FILE.exe,ID or FILE.icns>, --icon <FILE.ico or FILE.exe,ID or FILE.icns>    # 指定应用ico图标

--add-data <SRC;DEST or SRC:DEST>        # !
--add-binary <SRC;DEST or SRC:DEST>        # !
-p DIR, --paths DIR        # 指定搜索路径，用';'分割多个路径
--exclude-module EXCLUDES        # 指定不打包的模块
Optional module or package (the Python name, not the
path name) that will be ignored (as though it was not
found). This option can be used multiple times.
--key KEY        # 加密python字节码

4 - Pyinstaller示例

4-1 基本用法

python代码

guowli@5CG450158J MINGW64 /d/Anliven-Running/TempTest
$ cat GUI_Tkinter.py
#! python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from tkinter import *
import tkinter.messagebox as messagebox

class Application(Frame):  # 从Frame派生一个Application类，这是所有Widget的父容器
def __init__(self, master=None):
Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.pack()  # pack()方法把Widget加入到父容器中，并实现布局
self.createWidgets()

def createWidgets(self):
self.helloLabel = Label(self, text='This is a sample.')  # 创建一个Label
self.helloLabel.pack()
self.nameInput = Entry(self)
self.nameInput.pack()
self.alertButton = Button(self, text='Hi', command=self.hello)  # 创建一个Button，点击按钮，触发hello()
self.alertButton.pack()
self.quitButton = Button(self, text='Quit', command=self.quit)  # 点击按钮，触发self.quit()，程序退出
self.quitButton.pack()

def hello(self):
name = self.nameInput.get() or 'world'  # 获得用户输入的文本
messagebox.showinfo('Message', 'Hello, %s' % name)  # 弹出消息对话框

app = Application()  # 实例化Application
app.master.title('Hello World')  # 设置窗口标题
app.mainloop()  # 主消息循环

# ### Tkinter
# Python内置的是支持Tk的Tkinter，无需安装任何包，可以直接使用，能够满足基本的GUI程序的要求；
# 如果是非常复杂的GUI程序，建议用操作系统原生支持的语言和库来编写；
# 常见的第三方图形界面库包括Tk、wxWidgets、Qt、GTK等；

运行可执行文件

5 - Tips

5-1 onefolder模式

参数：-D, --onedir # 生成一个包含exe文件和依赖文件的目录

onefolder模式可以用于确认打包是否完整正确。

打包成onefile文件时，发布前最好先打包成onefolder，检查一下需要的文件是否被正确打包。

5-2 打包IDE编写的python文件

在类似Pycharm导入的模块可能并没有安装到本地的python环境，就会导致在python文件在PyCharm中能正常运行但在命令行运行报错的现象。

在使用pyinstaller打包时，对应的现象就是：执行EXE文件闪退，或提示ImportError错误。

此问题只需要使用pip安装相应模块再打包即可。

5-3 加密python字节码

利用加密参数 --key ，可自定义一个16位密钥来加密pyc文件，加大反编译难度。

注意：必须事先安装PyCrypto（https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto/)。

官方文档：https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#encrypting-python-bytecode

To encrypt the Python bytecode modules stored in the bundle, pass the --key=key-string argument on the command line.

For this to work, you must have the PyCrypto module installed. The key-string is a string of 16 characters which is used to encrypt each file of Python byte-code before it is stored in the archive inside the executable file.

5-4 文件名称及路径

文件路径中不能出现空格和英文句号；

源文件必须是UTF-8编码，暂不支持其他编码类型；

5-5 报错信息

如果执行生成的exe文件闪退，没有报错信息，可以尝试在cmd命令中运行exe文件，可能会看到报错原因。

5-6 关于跨平台

虽然Pyinstaller是跨平台的，但是打包之后的exe文件并不能跨平台执行。

在Windows系统下打包生成的exe文件只能在Windows系统下运行，同理在Linux下打包生成的exe文件也只能在Linux下运行。

如果将在Windows系统下打包生成的exe文件在Linux下运行，将会报错“Exec format error. Binary file not executable”。

and ``:`` on most unix systems) is used. This option
can be used multiple times.
--add-binary <SRC;DEST or SRC:DEST>
Additional binary files to be added to the executable.
See the ``--add-data`` option for more details. This
option can be used multiple times.
-p DIR, --paths DIR   A path to search for imports (like using PYTHONPATH).
Multiple paths are allowed, separated by ';', or use
this option multiple times
--hidden-import MODULENAME, --hiddenimport MODULENAME
Name an import not visible in the code of the
script(s). This option can be used multiple times.
--additional-hooks-dir HOOKSPATH
An additional path to search for hooks. This option
can be used multiple times.
--runtime-hook RUNTIME_HOOKS
Path to a custom runtime hook file. A runtime hook is
code that is bundled with the executable and is
executed before any other code or module to set up
special features of the runtime environment. This
option can be used multiple times.
--exclude-module EXCLUDES
Optional module or package (the Python name, not the
path name) that will be ignored (as though it was not
found). This option can be used multiple times.
--key KEY             The key used to encrypt Python bytecode.

How to generate:
-d, --debug           Tell the bootloader to issue progress messages while
initializing and starting the bundled app. Used to
diagnose problems with missing imports.
-s, --strip           Apply a symbol-table strip to the executable and
shared libs (not recommended for Windows)
--noupx               Do not use UPX even if it is available (works
differently between Windows and *nix)

Windows and Mac OS X specific options:
-c, --console, --nowindowed
Open a console window for standard i/o (default)
-w, --windowed, --noconsole
Windows and Mac OS X: do not provide a console window
for standard i/o. On Mac OS X this also triggers
building an OS X .app bundle. This option is ignored
in *NIX systems.
-i <FILE.ico or FILE.exe,ID or FILE.icns>, --icon <FILE.ico or FILE.exe,ID or FILE.icns>
FILE.ico: apply that icon to a Windows executable.
FILE.exe,ID, extract the icon with ID from an exe.
FILE.icns: apply the icon to the .app bundle on Mac OS
X

Windows specific options:
--version-file FILE   add a version resource from FILE to the exe
-m <FILE or XML>, --manifest <FILE or XML>
add manifest FILE or XML to the exe
-r RESOURCE, --resource RESOURCE
Add or update a resource to a Windows executable. The
RESOURCE is one to four items,
FILE[,TYPE[,NAME[,LANGUAGE]]]. FILE can be a data file
or an exe/dll. For data files, at least TYPE and NAME
must be specified. LANGUAGE defaults to 0 or may be
specified as wildcard * to update all resources of the
given TYPE and NAME. For exe/dll files, all resources
from FILE will be added/updated to the final
executable if TYPE, NAME and LANGUAGE are omitted or
specified as wildcard *.This option can be used
multiple times.
--uac-admin           Using this option creates a Manifest which will
request elevation upon application restart.
--uac-uiaccess        Using this option allows an elevated application to
work with Remote Desktop.

Windows Side-by-side Assembly searching options (advanced):
--win-private-assemblies
Any Shared Assemblies bundled into the application
will be changed into Private Assemblies. This means
the exact versions of these assemblies will always be
used, and any newer versions installed on user
machines at the system level will be ignored.
--win-no-prefer-redirects
While searching for Shared or Private Assemblies to
bundle into the application, PyInstaller will prefer
not to follow policies that redirect to newer
versions, and will try to bundle the exact versions of
the assembly.

Mac OS X specific options:
--osx-bundle-identifier BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER
Mac OS X .app bundle identifier is used as the default
unique program name for code signing purposes. The
usual form is a hierarchical name in reverse DNS
notation. For example:
com.mycompany.department.appname (default: first
script's basename)

Rarely used special options:
--runtime-tmpdir PATH
Where to extract libraries and support files in
`onefile`-mode. If this option is given, the
bootloader will ignore any temp-folder location
defined by the run-time OS. The ``_MEIxxxxxx``-folder
will be created here. Please use this option only if
you know what you are doing.
