    All binary data files need to be included by pyinstaller when creating executable. There are .exe .dll .dat .bin .pak and other binary data in the cefpython package that need to be included. Take a look at an example configuration using py2exe: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18630034/compiling-exe-with-py2exe-and-including-cefpython

    Please ask questions and report problems on the Forum.

    Install pyinstaller 3.2.1. See instructions: https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/blob/master/examples/pyinstaller/README-pyinstaller.md

    Just a bit of advice to anyone trying to do this, in your setup.py, add a cmdclass argument to setup() and call it whatever, I used "pack", and use the following code in it (research how to use cmdclass):

    from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import get_package_paths

...

subprocess.Popen([
      "pyinstaller", "--clean", "-F", "appname/__init__.py",
      "--add-data", f"{get_package_paths('cefpython3')[1]}:cefpython3",
      "--hidden-import", "pkg_resources.py2_warn", "-n", "AppName"
])

    This removes the need for the entire pyinstaller.spec and hook-cefpython3.py files. Works like a charm for me, and is actually a smaller overall file then the one with the .spec (which never worked for me by the way)

    Now all I need to do is, python setup.py pack and it will build it into /dist

    rlaPHOENiX, did you ever get this working with macOS ? I'm about to give up on cefpython as I just can't get it to bundle into a single binary in macOS with any of the tools out there. I've wasted a week and have only got it working with Windows.

    error: icudtl.dat not found in bundle

    Setting the framework_dir_path doesn't help, nor does including --add-data=cef-framework-path:cef.framework ,etc I feel like I've tried every combination under the sun here, trying to get the file to be included and referenced appropriately. File sizes are also pretty large; over 300mb, yet no luck. The existing example in the cepython examples folder also fails, nor does it bundle into a file.

    Tried other apps, like nuitka, and also ran endless issues that seem unresolvable.

    Again, only on macOS. Getting this all to work on Windows I had working on the first night.

    I don't have any device that uses Mac so I havent gotten any chance of checking it out for that, but your --add-data seems wrong. If you look at my example just above you should see that what I aim to do, is find the site-packages location of cefpython3, and then bundle it a folder of the same exact same of the package (cefpython3). A good idea also would be to try and do all of this with Python 3.7.x or edit the __init__.py in the site-packages and change elif sys.version_info[:2] == (3, 7): to elif sys.version_info[:2] in [(3, 7), (3, 8)]:, doing this supports Python 3.8 perfectly fine for me on Windows and Linux.

    Perhaps the version check causes some kind of problem? Who knows.

    Thank you for the reply. It's a time suck for sure. I've tried different versions and it all gets to be somewhat of a mess after a while. I've managed to get it working if I include the frameworks folder alongside the exe, and point to it in the main.py code cef.init settings, tho the file size in total is pretty huge and slow loading. Not sure I'm going to get it better than this, so I'll probably need to abandon Python.

    Yeah that indicates to me then, that it cant find cefpython3. You are doing the --add-data like I showed?

    The following is my cmdclass Pack Command for setup.py, it can be used in setup() by putting the following inside it:

    setup(
  ...
  cmdclass={"pack": PackCommand}
)

    Now you can do python setup.py pack

    init.py thats imported by many of my cmdclass's like pack.py

    import os
import sys
from shutil import rmtree

from APPNAME import meta


def print_bold(s):
    """Prints things in bold."""
    print("\033[1m{0}\033[0m".format(s))


def build_clean():
    print_bold("Removing previous builds…")
    try:
        rmtree(os.path.join(meta.ROOT_DIR, "dist"))
    except OSError:
        pass
    try:
        rmtree(os.path.join(meta.ROOT_DIR, "build"))
    except OSError:
        pass


def build():
    build_clean()
    print_bold("Ensuring an up-to-date environment…")
    os.system(
        "{0} -m pip install --user --upgrade setuptools wheel".format(sys.executable)
    )
    print_bold("Building Source and Wheel (universal) distribution…")
    os.system("{0} setup.py sdist bdist_wheel --universal".format(sys.executable))

    pack.py:

    import os

            print("Sorry! Only Windows, Linux and Darwin platforms are supported.")
            sys.exit(1)
        print_bold("Ensuring PyInstaller is available…")
        os.system(
            "{0} -m pip install --user --upgrade pyinstaller".format(sys.executable)
        )
        print_bold("Packing with PyInstaller…")
        sep = ";" if meta.WINDOWS else ":"
        sub = subprocess.Popen(
            [
                "pyinstaller",
                "--clean",
                "-F",
                f"{meta.TITLE_PKG}/__init__.py",
                "--add-data",
                f"{meta.TITLE_PKG}/static{sep}static",
                "--add-data",
                get_package_paths("cefpython3")[1].replace("\\", "/")
                + f"{sep}.",
                "--hidden-import",
                "pkg_resources.py2_warn",
                "-n",
                "APPNAME",
            ]
        )
        sub.communicate()
        if sub.returncode != 0:
            print("Oh no! PyInstaller failed, code=%s" % sub.returncode)
            build_clean()
            sys.exit(1)
        sys.exit()

    I'll give your suggestion a go. :) Thank you.

    I just realised with my above code example I actually used --add-data "bla bla:." not "bla bla:cefpython3", so the . makes it put it next to init.py flattening the files, which is probably why it works for me.
