How to Fix Missing Tkinter Library Error When Creating Executable in Tkinter

🤔 Have you ever encountered an error when creating an executable of your Tkinter app?

👨‍💻 I faced a similar issue where some windows were not showing up. After some investigation, I discovered that the problem was due to the absence of the Tkinter library in the executable file.

👍 Luckily, the solution was simple. By running the command pyinstaller --onefile --hidden-import tkinter hello.py when creating the executable, I was able to include the missing library and resolve the issue. Hope this tip helps fellow Tkinter developers out there!

Options

📁 --onefile is to just creating a .exe file
🔍 --hidden-import <library> is for import the libray
🙈 -w is for not showing the console when the executable runs
