Trying to create a spec file with the following command:
E:Python25\Python Makespec.py -F, -K, -X, E:\Python programs\Rubrica\rubrica.py
I got the error message “Impossible to find the specified path”.
Up to -F, -K, -X, the command executed regularly.
The path E:\Python programs\Rubrica\rubrica.py exists and has been written correctly.
Anybody can tell me what is my mistake? Thanks.
Thank you for your kindness, Marc, but it did not work. I tried even copying \Rubrica in the first branch of the tree (i.e. “E:\Rubrica\Rubrica.py”), and the result was the same. Can you give me a copy of the command you use?

Long filenames with internal spaces in Windows, maybe? Try either:
E:Python25\Python Makespec.py -F, -K, -X, “E:\Python programs\Rubrica\rubrica.py”
or
E:Python25\Python Makespec.py -F, -K, -X, E:\Python~1\Rubrica\rubrica.pynote: in the second example, I’m only guessing what the “mangled” short filename would be; Windows may have assigned “python~2” or “python~3” instead.

Rafaello - sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I’ve never used PyInstaller, so I can’t really help you there. I HAVE had a lot of experience with unquoted long filenames with spaces causing path errors, so I’m afraid I jumped to conclusions. I still think you’ll need to watch out for internal spaces, even after you find the real problem.

Even if your .py filename, or the path to it, contains spaces? Just curious for when I start using PyInstaller myself.
Thanks for letting us know the end of the story!
