Im so tired with this, time after time my files just dont work, when i try to read a file from my code, it just doesent find it, ive checked always for typos and i uploaded my code here ones and everyone said it should run smoothly but it just doesent find the file, the same thing has happened with other peoples code that works perfectly for them but for me it just doesent find it. its fine now because some guy told me to use some pathlib thing but now my problem is that i try to import my project with pyinstaller but when i do this: pyinstaller main.py --onefile, it says it cant find main.py file even tho i am literally running the command the terminal of a file called main.py. PLEASE HELP

are you sure that you are running the program in the correct directory? if you run python -c 'import os;print(os.listdir())' (or just os.listdir in your script) does it show the files you expect it to? pithink

wait so what do i have to run and where? also the terminal im using is returning the stuff i print in my main.py file so im pretty sure im in the correct terminal

it's just a python command you run in the terminal

this: ```At line:2 char:32

  • -c 'import os;print(os.listdir())
  •                            ~

An expression was expected after '('.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedExpressionis what its saying when i run this: -c 'import os;print(os.listdir())```

you appears that you left out part of the command so it failed:

$ python -c "..."  # note the quotes as well
#

another potential issue is if you're using relative paths instead of absolute paths. generally abs paths won't break if your working directory changes
