pyinstaller and cpu_bound issue

[Wananrd]

Description

I need to use pyinstaller to generate exe file, when i run the exe file, there's a question about cpu_bound, I guess it may be connected with muti-thread.

I want to know how to solve it.

My demo.py code

from nicegui import ui, run
import time

def compute_sum(a: float, b: float) -> float:
    time.sleep(1)  # simulate a long-running computation
    return a + b

@ui.page('/')
def main_page() -> None:
    async def handle_click():
        result = await run.cpu_bound(compute_sum, 1, 2)
        ui.notify(f'Sum is {result}')

    ui.button('Compute', on_click=handle_click)

ui.run(reload=False)

my build code

import os
import subprocess
from pathlib import Path
import nicegui

cmd = [
    'python',
    '-m', 'PyInstaller',
    'demo.py', # your main file with ui.run()
    '--name', 'demo', # name of your app
    '--onefile',
    '--add-data', f'{Path(nicegui.__file__).parent}{os.pathsep}nicegui'
]
subprocess.call(cmd)

This is error info

I want to know how to handle this issue?

Does your code run fine when not packaged with pyinstaller? Is the exception happening whenever you start the program, or have you pressed CTRL-C or something else?

No packaged it works. When after I packaged it and exeacute it, it could show the right page. However, I clicked the button, it appears this error. I don't do any other operation.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Besides a confirmation from another windows user I would like to know if the error also happens if you use nicegui-pack (see https://nicegui.io/documentation/section_configuration_deployment#package_for_installation).

It has the same error even i use the nicegui-pack

I was able to replicate this error. However, after further investigation, it doesn't appear to be an issue with NiceGUI. From the PyInstaller documentation:

Currently, the only supported multi-processing framework is the multiprocessing module from the Python standard library, and even that requires you to make a multiprocessing.freeze_support() call before using any multiprocessing functionality.

I modified demp.py to include:

multiprocessing.freeze_support()
ui.run(reload=False)

This prevented the error.

@Wananrd, does this also resolve the issue for you?
