How do I package whisper with PyInstaller

[hewenzhuo1]

I tried to package the program containing whisper using PyInstaller but he reported an error.

Is there an expert who can help me with what I should do！

In my .spec file, I had to manually include the assets folder:

    datas=[
        ('env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/whisper/assets', './whisper/assets')
    ],

There may be a slicker way of doing this with pyinstaller.

Also - you will probbaly have to declare your main function like this:

if __name__ == '__main__':
	# Pyinstaller fix
	multiprocessing.freeze_support()

	main()

Without freeze_support, it just loops endlessly.

Oh, Thanks a lot!

in my .spec file:

datas = [('C:\\Users\\admin\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python311\\Lib\\site-packages\\whisper', './whisper')]

and I didn't make any more changes..

next step:

pyinstaller main.spec

I think this worked back in 2023. but now i get

'C:\\Users\\***\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\****\\whisper\\assets\\multilingual.tiktoken'

Any ideas on how to fix that?
