I wrote a code in python using jupyter notebook and i want to generate an executable of the program.

No, however it is possible to generate a .py script from .ipynb, which can then be converted to a .exe
With jupyter nbconvert (If you are using Anaconda, this is already included)
In the environment :
pip install nbconvert jupyter nbconvert --to script my_notebook.ipynb Will generate a my_notebook.py.
Then with Pyinstaller :
pip install pyinstaller pyinstaller my_notebook.py You should now have a my_notebook.exe and dist files in your folder.

There are some pitfalls for pyinstaller when using pandas. I wrote a detailed step-by-step tutorial how to create a one-file executable (.py -> .exe) here: geo.rocks/post/python-to-exe.
You can use this code I've written to convert large numbers of .ipynb files into .py files.
srcFolder = r'input_folderpath_here' desFolder = r'output_folderpath_here' import os import nbformat from nbconvert import PythonExporter def convertNotebook(notebookPath, modulePath): with open(notebookPath) as fh: nb = nbformat.reads(fh.read(), nbformat.NO_CONVERT) exporter = PythonExporter() source, meta = exporter.from_notebook_node(nb) with open(modulePath, 'w+') as fh: fh.writelines(source) # For folder creation if doesn't exist if not os.path.exists(desFolder): os.makedirs(desFolder) for file in os.listdir(srcFolder): if os.path.isdir(srcFolder + '\\' + file): continue if ".ipynb" in file: convertNotebook(srcFolder + '\\' + file, desFolder + '\\' + file[:-5] + "py") Once you have converted your .ipynb files into .py files.
Try running the .py files to ensure they work. After which, use Pyinstaller in your terminal or command prompt. cd to your .py file location. And then type
pyinstaller --onefile yourfile.py This will generate a single file .exe program

You can generate .py files from .ipynb files using this one liner instead
jupyter nbconvert --to script *.ipynb
nbconvertfor example). After that you can try a pip package to help wrap the the script (e.g. py2exe, pyinstaller, etc.)
