Yeah soo.. I figured out my problem. BONKERS. Turns out I was using this:
subprocess.call([sys.executable,"file"]) AAAND.. if you run the python script without pyinstaller, sys.executable = the python interpreter. In a bundled pyinstaller app, that's NOT WHAT IT IS!!! It's actually the executable file itself. So, I was inadvertently running the app over and over. I tell you.. that is just nuts. Seriously programmers? So, I had to figure out another way to execute my py file inside my py script. Easy right? Ok, but I needed an argument.. so exec(open(read()) wouldn't work.. or would it? Apparently this does: sys.argv = ["file.py"), vArguments] exec(open(os.path.join(wd,"tests","errorMessage.py")).read(), globals()) Please note that I also included "globals()" there, because apparently exec won't include any imports unless you do that. WTF? I'm... ambivalent about Python at the moment. What are all these gotchas??
