I am creating a standalone executable GUI app using Python tkinter and pyinstaller. However, the exe file only shows the console and black screen (refer to the attached img). I have searched for answer for a week including checking other stack overflow posts, but no result. Hope you can help me, many thanks!
Here is the code:-
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import font
import requests
HEIGHT = 700
WIDTH = 800
def test_function(entry):
print("This is the entry: ", entry)
def format_response(weather):
try:
name = weather["name"]
desc = weather["weather"][0]["description"]
temp = weather["main"]["temp"]
final_str = "City: %s \nConditions: %s \nTemperature: %s" %(name, desc, temp)
except:
final_str = "There was a problem retrieving that information"
return final_str
def get_weather(city):
weather_key = "5164b0c1b7f4019423208f1e0af93cbf"
url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather"
params = {"APPID": weather_key, "q":city, "units":"metric"}
response = requests.get(url, params=params)
weather = response.json()
label["text"] = format_response(weather)
root = tk.Tk()
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=HEIGHT, width=WIDTH)
canvas.pack()
frame = tk.Frame(root, bg="#80c1ff", bd=5)
frame.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.1, relwidth=0.75, relheight=0.1, anchor="n")
entry = tk.Entry(frame, font=("Courier", 18))
entry.place(relwidth=0.65, relheight=1)
button = tk.Button(frame, text="Get Weather", font=("Courier", 12), command=lambda: get_weather(entry.get()))
button.place(relx=0.7, relwidth=0.3, relheight=1)
lower_frame = tk.Frame(root, bg="#80c1ff", bd=10)
lower_frame.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.25, relwidth=0.75, relheight=0.6, anchor="n")
label = tk.Label(lower_frame, font=("Courier", 18), anchor="nw", justify="left", bd=4)
label.place(relwidth=1, relheight=1)
root.mainloop()
Here is the environment:-
Python 3.9.4
PyCharm 2021.1
macOS Big Sur 11.2.3
Here is how I used pyinstaller in terminal:-
cd /Users/abcd/PycharmProjects/WeatherApp
pyinstaller --onefile Weather.py
Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem:-

Add --windowed when you run the command line ie
--onefile --windowed Weather.py
