pyqtdeploy won't create project file

Question

I have been trying to use pyqtdeploy to port a Python program to Android, but can't seem to make it work.

I am using Python 3.7.5 and I have installed pyqtdeploy through pip install.

I have launched the command:

pyqtdeploy myproject.pyd

But it does not do anything (no file is created and the GUI does not start) and I get no error.

I figured this out. Download first your pyqt-demo folder that contains .pdt files (formerly .pdy), some .py files, a systemroot and a data folder.

You cannot create your own .pdt file, e.g. pyqtdeploy myproj.pdt but instead, you should really run pyqtdeploy pyqt-demo.pdt where pyqt-demo.pdt is the only file that will work. You are not creating a file, you are actually opening the file to start the GUI and modify it afterwards.
