Hi @Elena,

I’m afraid I bring you bad news. Processing Python mode is no longer maintained, Jonathan [resigned a few years ago](https://discourse.processing.org/t/python-mode-needs-a-new-project-owner/36399). And Python Mode is not working properly on Processing 4.

You can still run your sketches on Processing 3.5.4 + Python Mode for Processing 3, but I’ve heard reports that “Export application” was broken already. YMMV

I used to ship a huge zip file with the Processing IDE and my sketches for a while.  
And I’m using [py5](https://py5coding.org) for new projects (and shipping huge zip files with [portable Thonny IDE](https://github.com/villares/thonny-portable-with-py5/) because usually I’m unable to make pyinstaller work).
