Error when packaging eel project to an exe when --noconsole

[kochjar]

I am building an python project with Eel, and I'm trying to package my program to an exe with PyInstaller as instructed in the documentation. However, I get the following error when I open the .exe:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "hello.py", line 1, in <module> import eel File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 499, in exec_module File "eel\__init__.py", line 8, in <module> File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 499, in exec_module File "bottle.py", line 73, in <module> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'

I tried to use auto py-to-exe instead of Pyinstaller, but I got the same error. Finally, I tried to package the Eello world example from the Eel documentation to see if it was my program that was the issue, but I still got the same error. I found a similiar problem in a github issue, but I fail to see what I should attach to --add-data.

I am running Python 3.10.8 and Eel 0.14.0. I've now tried python 3.8.9 and python 3.9.13 without luck.

Upon further investigation, I discovered that the error only occours when I attach --noconsole at the end of my cmd python -m eel hello.py web --onefile --noconsole. However, I want my app to work without a visible console.

Edit: When using --noconsole, sys.stdout + sys.stderr are NullWriters and sys.__stdout__ + sys.__stderr__ are Nones. Because bottle, a module used by eel, is using them, all you need to do is redirect them, for an instance to a file, at the start of your main script.

import sys
if hasattr(sys, "_MEIPASS"): # if the script is started from an executable file
    with open("logs.txt", "a") as f_logs:
        sys.stdout = f_logs
        sys.stderr = f_logs
