Make exe file of python pypylon project using pyinstaller spec file


In my python project, I used Basler GigE Vision ethernet cameras, because of the pylon doesn't support python then I used pypylon.pylon wrapper to open it in python. This is my class to open the camera, but after making executable file I get errors when opening it. I used spec file to work with pyinstaller.I get this below errors:

import pypylon.pylon as py
import numpy as np


class PylonVideoReader:

def __init__(self, deviceName=None):
    self.deviceName = deviceName
    tlfactory = py.TlFactory.GetInstance()
    if not self.deviceName is None:
        deviceInfoList = tlfactory.EnumerateDevices()
        deviceIndex = None
        for i in range(len(deviceInfoList)):
            if self.deviceName == deviceInfoList[i].GetUserDefinedName():
                deviceIndex = i
                break

        if deviceIndex is None:
            print("Device: {} not found please ensure that it is "
                  "connected".format(self.deviceName))
            exit()
        else:
            # Create new camera
            self.camera = py.InstantCamera(tlfactory.CreateDevice(
                deviceInfoList[deviceIndex]))
    else:
        # Create new camera
        self.camera = py.InstantCamera(tlfactory.CreateFirstDevice())

    # Open camera
    self.camera.Open()
    # Set max number of frame buffers
    self.camera.MaxNumBuffer = 50
    # Initialize the  image format converter
    self.formatConverter = py.ImageFormatConverter()
    # Set output pixel format to BGR8 for opencv
    self.formatConverter.OutputPixelFormat = py.PixelType_BGR8packed

    # Start grabbing process
    self.camera.StartGrabbing(py.GrabStrategy_LatestImageOnly)

    grabResult = self.camera.RetrieveResult(10000)
    # Stop grabbing process

    self.frameWidth = grabResult.GetWidth()

        return self.frameWidth
    elif code == 4:
        return self.frameHeight
    else:

    self.frameHeight = grabResult.GetHeight()

    if grabResult.GrabSucceeded():

        return (True, image)

Solution

  • After making the executable files with pyinstaller (How to make executable file with pyinstaller) you should find the pypylon folder from your virtual environment which used in the project and copy the pypylon folder beside the exe file.
