Troubleshooting Auto-py-to-exe: Why Your .exe Files Won't Run

If you've ever used auto-py-to-exe, you know it can be a great tool for converting Python scripts into executable files. However, it's not uncommon to run into issues that leave you scratching your head. A common problem users face is receiving error messages related to missing modules when they try to run their converted .exe files. Recently, a user encountered such an issue, and we are here to break down the solution.

The Solution: Downgrade Python Version

After some investigation, the solution to this issue was relatively simple, although it might not be immediately obvious. Here's a breakdown of the approach to resolving this problem:

1. Understand the Compatibility Issue

Current Status: The primary cause of this issue is that PyInstaller, which auto-py-to-exe relies upon for converting scripts, may not be fully compatible with the latest versions of Python.

Recommendation: If you're using Python 3.11 or newer, it may lead to the aforementioned errors.

2. Downgrade to a Supported Version

Action Steps:

Uninstall your current version of Python.

Install Python 3.10 or an earlier version that is known to work well with PyInstaller. You can usually find older versions of Python on the official Python downloads page.

Note: Ensure to download the right setup for your operating system and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

3. Reinstall auto-py-to-exe

After downgrading your Python version:

Open your command prompt (or terminal).
