I have a program that:

1. Imports modules OS and shutil
2. Gets the desktop directory and creates a folder called 'Zenith' in it
3. Gets the python script's directory
4. Searches for FilesToCopy.txt in the python directory and copies it's text as a list (FilesToCopy.txt contains a list of files that need to be copied)
5. Searches the directory for the files written in FilesToCopy.txt and copies them to the Zenith folder on the desktop

​

When I run the code trough pycharm it works perfectly, but when I compile it to .exe file using pyinstaller it just creates the Zenith folder and does nothing else. It even closes automatically, even though I put input() at the end. What do I do to fix it?

​

Here is the code:

​

import shutil
import os


FileName = []


#Get the desktop directory and create a folder called Zenith on it
DesktopDirectory = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~')), 'Desktop')
if not os.path.isdir(DesktopDirectory   "\Zenith"):
    os.mkdir(DesktopDirectory   "\Zenith")
TargetFolderDirectory = DesktopDirectory   "\Zenith"


#Get the python's executable path
real_path = os.path.realpath(__file__)
dir_path = os.path.dirname(real_path)


#Get text file as string and convert it to a list
with open(dir_path   '\FilesToCopy.txt') as f:
    lines = f.read()
    lines = lines.split(', ')
    FileName = lines
    print(lines)
    f.close()


#Do the copying
for i in FileName:
    source = dir_path   '\FilesToCopy\\'   i
    shutil.copy(source, TargetFolderDirectory)


input()
