How to build multiple .py files into a single executable file using pyinstaller?

I have made a small PyQt application containing 5-6 .py files. Now I want to build and compile them into a single main file, meaning it has to operate from one main window exe.

My .py files are connected with each other successfully. I have used pyinstaller to make the executable file, but the problem is I built each .py file into its own .exe file. But I want to make a single .exe file through which all the .py files can be used.

How to build all .py files into a single .exe file?

Finally I got the answer. Check the command below

pyinstaller C:/version_0_1_client_server/scripts/filename.py --paths C:/version_0_1_client_server/  --add-data 'data/config.yaml;data' --add-data 'data/image.png;data'

File Structure:

Folder : version_0_1_client_server

    sub folder : 
                 data
                 scripts

data folder having png files and extra files.

I am using this command as it will take care of all .py file dependencies.

Use the Command pyinstaller --onefile yourprogramname.py. Pyinstaller will Automatically import and Compile the Dependency Files.

I think the solution is to edit the .spec file and run pyinstaller on the spec file instead of the individual .py files.

You can find information about adding multiple exes to as single .spec file here: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3.1/spec-files.html#multipackage-bundles

Suppose you had a file called create.py like 

def square (num)
    return num ** 2

Another file in the same directory called input.py

from . import create
def take_input():
    x = input("Enter Input")
    return create.square(x)

And finally your main.py

from . import input
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ip = input.take_input()

You will call the command -

pyinstaller --onefile main.py

And pyinstaller will import all the dependencies of all the files itself
