I used web3.py to create a program, and turned it into an exe with pyinstaller, but now I am getting this error when I try to run the exe:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\SELCUK~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\_MEI166402\\ens\\specs\\normalization_spec.json'

The given directory path is wrong, so it's normal that this gives an error, but I have no way of fixing this as this is a problem from inside the web3 module. Has anyone ever came across this error?

  • Also wanted to add, the code works fine when not compiled into an exe so it's not a code related problem. It's a compilation related problem.

Version 6.6.0 had a problem with the necessary json files not being included. If you specify 6.6.1 you should be fine. Support for v5 is due to stop in August.

pyinstaller needs a manual addition utilizing the --add-data flag. This question has been answered before for similar issues:
