TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes) when compiling any script #4265

sl4vkek · 2019-06-08T09:47:56Z

When i compile any script using pyinstaller i get TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes)

i tried both with and without UPX, still the same error, i even tried installing the latest dev builds and it's still the same error.

Here's the log:

sl4vkek · 2019-06-08T09:51:05Z

Note that i was using Python 3.8.

tirkarthi · 2019-06-08T19:04:38Z

Seems like this is constructing a code object and could be due to PEP 570 implementation : python/cpython#12701

types.CodeType has a new parameter in the second position of the constructor (posonlyargcount) to support positional-only arguments defined in PEP 570. The first argument (argcount) now represents the total number of positional arguments (including positional-only arguments). A new replace() method of types.CodeType can be used to make the code future-proof.

Hameraid · 2019-10-16T18:36:41Z

I have the exact same error, using python3.8.0 and pyinstaller 3.5

gresavage · 2019-10-16T21:15:50Z

Bump

msacchetin · 2019-10-18T20:35:47Z

Me too. Exactly same error. Python 3.8.0 and PyInstaller 3.5

nathonfowlie · 2019-10-20T13:03:29Z

I'm also seeing this error. I'm using pyenv 1.2.13 to create a python 3.8.0 environment (sudo env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.8.0), and PyInstaller 3.5 on Mac OSX High Sierra.

Not sure if it helps at all, but the issue also occurs when UPX is installed.

shuax · 2019-10-25T06:27:49Z

I have the same problem with Python 3.8

shuax · 2019-10-25T06:33:35Z

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.tar.gz

Direct install the latest version can compatible with python 3.8

tinybug · 2019-10-27T02:34:20Z

use python 3.7.5 is ok.

Danixu · 2019-10-27T10:04:56Z

Same here, but fixed with latest development version provided by shuax.

Lethiathan · 2019-10-31T11:07:43Z

Thank you!


        Use development version of PyInstaller from VCS for 3.8 compatibility

See pyinstaller/pyinstaller#4265 & pyinstaller/pyinstaller#4311

sashf1999 · 2019-11-01T17:43:38Z

Thanks)

LucasMoeris · 2019-11-03T22:59:42Z

Thank you @shuax , it worked! I thought that the error was caused by the pickled file that would have to be somehow "linked", but actually it's enough to just put them together in the same directory. Thank you again.

clevertension · 2019-11-04T01:27:20Z

Thank you @shuax , it is ok

angelMonje · 2019-11-11T02:00:30Z

Gracias !

Reelix · 2019-11-11T03:00:27Z

Seeing as how the dev version currently fixes this error that everyone with Python 3.8 will come across, it should probably be released as soon as possible.

ghazias · 2019-11-12T16:19:19Z

Fortunately, until then, it's not too difficult to find this thread.

CloutProject · 2019-11-16T02:46:02Z

thanks a lot man!

htgoebel · 2019-11-16T10:20:25Z

Closing as invalid. Python 3.8 is not yet supported.

Reelix · 2019-11-16T11:56:49Z

@ghazias I guess this thread will now be a bit harder to find with it being closed, and the question marked as invalid and not supported, even though the archived version supports it :p

mhucka · 2019-11-17T22:16:22Z

For anyone coming here experiencing this problem even if they are not running Python 3.8, I wanted to mention that I experience this same error with Python 3.7.4 on a macOS 10.13 system. Similarly to other people above, the problem goes away if I install the dev version as suggested by shuax above.

truekonrads · 2019-11-18T04:35:50Z

Hello, can I perhaps suggest that this gets tagged as "3.8 defects" rather than close outright. As a maintainer/owner you can do of course whatever you want, but closing a defect for what is a likely common issue for many perhaps could be reconsidered?

Much love

truekonrads · 2019-11-18T04:36:12Z

WFM with this

muhibraza · 2019-11-18T06:34:34Z

Worked like a charm!

H4CKY54CK · 2019-11-21T11:07:30Z

Seeing the same TypeError as everyone else after upgrading Python to 3.8 from 3.7.5. Fixed with latest dev version. Windows user, so had to modify it to:

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip

To some, it may seem obvious to change the extension. I wouldn't have thought of it a few months ago, though.

nekolr · 2019-11-26T14:49:04Z

Thanks!

wuyuansushen · 2019-11-29T13:15:02Z

Thanks very much.I hope this newest version could be uploaded to PYPI(pip) as soon as possibble!Thanks

Lamarcke · 2019-11-30T06:24:01Z

Huge thanks, this helped a lot!

CryptoGnome · 2019-12-03T01:57:41Z

Thank you!

uriielfl · 2019-12-04T19:05:13Z

Thank you so much, bro! This was giving me too much headache since 3 months ago!

gtrak · 2019-12-04T20:37:08Z

You can install direct from a git hash if you'd rather not float over develop:
pip install git+git://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller.git@9dd34bdfbaeaa4e0459bd3051d1caf0c7d75073f
