Python 3.5.2 + PyQt5 to standalone exe

Question

I want to create a standalone exe containing PyQt5. I used PyInstaller and identified the folder where to find the .dll as follow:

pyinstaller --paths C:\...\Anaconda3\Library\bin --onefile --windowed test.py

The exe was created successfully and when I run the exe, the following error message appears:

FYI, my configuration is the following:

Anaconda3 4.2.0 with Python 3.5.2 (by default PyQt5 is installed via Anaconda so I never installed PyQt5 via a pip install. If I did that, a conflict appears and I can't use PyQt5 anymore).
Qt 3.0.1
.dll used have not been found in the usual folder (i.e. C:......\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5) because I don't have a folder entitled "bin" in the folder PyQt5.

Thank you

No warnings at all. Even if I do not specify the path where to find `dll`, Pyinstaller compiles the `exe` with no errors and this seems not normal to me. — H. Dave, Oct 28 '17 at 23:09
if it isn't to large, can you update your question to show the output of your pyinstaller command — The4thIceman, Oct 28 '17 at 23:16
hmmm, tricky. give a look at my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46858417/pyinstaller-runs-fine-but-exe-file-errors-no-module-named-failed-to-execute-sc/46894037#46894037 — The4thIceman, Oct 29 '17 at 01:31
otherwise there is something else going on here and I will need more information — The4thIceman, Oct 29 '17 at 01:34
I will have a look at your answer. I am not familiar with the output of `pyinstaller`. Did you notice an error? — H. Dave, Oct 29 '17 at 11:26

I found the solution. The PyQt5 installed by default with Anaconda seems corruptly in that particular situation. I uninstalled Anaconda and re-installed Python only and used pip install to install PyQt5. With this configuration, I was able to create my standalone exe.

Also, it's worth noting that PyQt5 uses Qt5. You stated you have Qt3 in your environment, which doesn't make much sense. – fredrik Jan 03 '18 at 11:07
