How to Add Static(Html, CSS, Js, etc) Files in Pyinstaller to Create Standalone Exe File

How to add static(html, css, js, etc) files in pyinstaller to create standalone exe file?

From your question you can presume that the structure of your project is as follows:

├── index.html
├── jquery.js
├── main.py
├── my_custom.js
└── styles.css

For your case there are 2 options:

using --add-data

import os
import sys

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtWebEngineWidgets

def resource_path(relative_path):
    """ Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
    try:
        # PyInstaller creates a temp folder and stores path in _MEIPASS
        base_path = sys._MEIPASS
    except Exception:
        base_path = os.path.abspath(".")

    return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    view = QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineView()

    filename = resource_path("index.html")
    url = QtCore.QUrl.fromLocalFile(filename)

    view.load(url)
    view.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

If you want to add external resources to the executable then you must use the "--add-data" option:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --add-data="index.html:." --add-data="jquery.js:." --add-data="my_custom.js:." --add-data="styles.css:." main.py

For windows change ":" with ";".

using .qrc

With this method you will convert the files (.html, .css, .js, etc) into .py code using pyrcc5 for this you must follow the following steps:

2.1. Create a file called resource.qrc with the following content in the project folder:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file>index.html</file>
        <file>jquery.js</file>
        <file>my_custom.js</file>
        <file>styles.css</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

2.2 Convert it to .py using pyrcc5:

pyrcc5 resource.qrc -o resource_rc.py

2.3 Import the resource_rc.py file and use the url with schema "qrc" in the main.py file:

import os
import sys

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtWebEngineWidgets

import resource_rc

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    view = QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineView()

    url = QtCore.QUrl("qrc:/index.html")

    view.load(url)
    view.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

2.4 Compile the project using your initial command

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed main.py

How can I make a Python script standalone executable to run without ANY dependency?

You can use py2exe as already answered and use Cython to convert your key .py files in .pyc, C compiled files, like .dll in Windows and .so on Linux.

It is much harder to revert than common .pyo and .pyc files (and also gain in performance!).

Your exe file does not find autosubmit.ui file
add this --> --add-data="autosubmit.ui;."

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --console --add-data="autosubmit.ui;." --paths "C:/Users/jun/Desktop/lee/Programing/python/dll" --hidden-import "nbt.world"  "C:/Users/jun/Desktop/lee/Programing/python/Auto_Submit_dev1.py"

Peachpie

http://www.peachpie.io

https://github.com/iolevel/peachpie

Peachpie is PHP 7 compiler based on Roslyn by Microsoft and drawing from popular Phalanger. It allows PHP to be executed within the .NET/.NETCore by compiling the PHP code to pure MSIL.

Phalanger

http://v4.php-compiler.net/

http://wiki.php-compiler.net/Phalanger_Wiki

https://github.com/devsense/phalanger

Phalanger is a project which was started at Charles University in Prague and was supported by Microsoft. It compiles source code written in the PHP scripting language into CIL (Common Intermediate Language) byte-code. It handles the beginning of a compiling process which is completed by the JIT compiler component of the .NET Framework. It does not address native code generation nor optimization. Its purpose is to compile PHP scripts into .NET assemblies, logical units containing CIL code and meta-data.

Bambalam

https://github.com/xZero707/Bamcompile/

Bambalam PHP EXE Compiler/Embedder is a free command line tool to convert PHP applications to standalone Windows .exe applications. The exe files produced are totally standalone, no need for php dlls etc. The php code is encoded using the Turck MMCache Encode library so it's a perfect solution if you want to distribute your application while protecting your source code. The converter is also suitable for producing .exe files for windowed PHP applications (created using for example the WinBinder library). It's also good for making stand-alone PHP Socket servers/clients (using the php_sockets.dll extension).
It's NOT really a compiler in the sense that it doesn't produce native machine code from PHP sources, but it works!

ZZEE PHPExe

http://www.zzee.com/phpexe/

ZZEE PHPExe compiles PHP, HTML, Javascript, Flash and other web files into Windows GUI exes. You can rapidly develop Windows GUI applications by employing the familiar PHP web paradigm. You can use the same code for online and Windows applications with little or no modification. It is a Commercial product.

phc-win

http://wiki.swiftlytilting.com/Phc-win

The PHP extension bcompiler is used to compile PHP script code into PHP bytecode. This bytecode can be included just like any php file as long as the bcompiler extension is loaded. Once all the bytecode files have been created, a modified Embeder is used to pack all of the project files into the program exe.

Requires

php5ts.dll
php_win32std.dll
php_bcompiler.dll
php-embed.ini

WinBinder

~~http://winbinder.org/~~ - no longer available

(original: https://github.com/stefan-loewe/WinBinder)

(fork: https://github.com/wagy/WinBinder)

WinBinder is an open source extension to PHP, the script programming language. It allows PHP programmers to easily build native Windows applications, producing quick and rewarding results with minimum effort. Even short scripts with a few dozen lines can generate a useful program, thanks to the power and flexibility of PHP.

PHPDesktop

https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop

PHP Desktop is an open source project founded by Czarek Tomczak in 2012 to provide a way for developing native desktop applications using web technologies such as PHP, HTML5, JavaScript & SQLite. This project is more than just a PHP to EXE compiler, it embeds a web-browser (Internet Explorer or Chrome embedded), a Mongoose web-server and a PHP interpreter. The development workflow you are used to remains the same, the step of turning an existing website into a desktop application is basically a matter of copying it to "www/" directory. Using SQLite database is optional, you could embed mysql/postgresql database in application's installer.

PHP Nightrain

https://github.com/kjellberg/nightrain

Using PHP Nightrain you will be able to deploy and run HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP web applications as a native desktop application on Windows, Mac and the Linux operating systems. Popular PHP Frameworks (e.g. CakePHP, Laravel, Drupal, etc…) are well supported!

phc-win "fork"

https://github.com/RDashINC/phc-win

A more-or-less forked version of phc-win, it uses the same techniques as phc-win but supports almost all modern PHP versions. (5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, etc) It also can use Enigma VB to combine the php5ts.dll with your exe, aswell as UPX compress it. Lastly, it has win32std and winbinder compilied statically into PHP.

EDIT

Another option is to use

http://www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-cross-platform-application-development/

an online compiler that can build executables for a number of different platforms, from a number of different languages including PHP

TideSDK

http://www.tidesdk.org/

TideSDK is actually the renamed Titanium Desktop project. Titanium remained focused on mobile, and abandoned the desktop version, which was taken over by some people who have open sourced it and dubbed it TideSDK.

Generally, TideSDK uses HTML, CSS and JS to render applications, but it supports scripted languages like PHP, as a plug-in module, as well as other scripting languages like Python and Ruby.
