RuntimeError: Failed to resolve Python.Runtime.Loader.Initialize from C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Downloads\application_folder\pythonnet\runtime\Python.Runtime.dll

my code:

import os
import sys
import webview
from pathlib import Path

HERE = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
INDEX = HERE / "launcher" / "index.html"     
if not INDEX.exists():
    raise FileNotFoundError(
        f"{INDEX} not found."
    )

url = INDEX.as_uri()

os.environ["WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS"] = \
    "--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required"

window = webview.create_window(
    title="ChickenFine",   
    url=url,               
    fullscreen=True,       
    frameless=True,        
    resizable=True,        
    confirm_close=False    
)

# edgechromium
webview.start(gui="edgechromium", debug=False)

I don't know what to do with this Can you tell me what the problem is?

Answer 1

You can try doing a few things to avoid this type of issues:

1. Make sure your requirements.txt is up to date.

2. You can try containerizing your application and run it using docker.

These approaches are specifically designed to resolve such issues.

Let me know if you need more help!
