When trying to compile code with pyinstaller a frozen importlib error is raised

[christianferber]

The issue is described here and I haven't found a valid solution so far: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5390

Can anybody provide some help?

I'm not a user of pyinstaller and can not really assist with this issue. If there is something that can be done in the scope of this library, however, I will gladly accept pull-requests.

@christianferber can you share with us the pyinstaller spec or a repository where we can try building it?

Hi Remy,

thanks for your help!

Find attached a very simple py file with schwifty code.

You can compile it on Windows + pyinstaller with the command:

pyinstaller schwifty-test.py --name schwifty-test --onefile –console

After executing the resulting .exe file in the CMD window you should see the error below.

Regards,

Christian

There is no attachment to the issue, I believe you sent it via e-mail.

I unfortunately don't have a Windows machine at hand to run the command. However make sure that all the files regarding the registry are visible from py-installer, especially the JSON files of the registry that might have been ignored by the default configuration.

schwifty-test.zip Here's the attachment. Sorry, yes, it was sent by e-mail.

[Natim]

I believe you need to add the JSON files as resources see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47028343

Thanks for the hint! I was able to get it working. There was the add-data as well as --copy-metadata parameter required as per below. pyinstaller schwifty-test.py --name schwifty-test --onefile --console --add-data=C:\Users\christi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\schwifty:. --copy-metadata schwifty
