pyinstaller may cause problems with sanic and/or sanic-openapi

(additional context added by sanic-openapi maintainer)

pyinstaller is a tool which bundles python and required libraries into an executable which should be able to be run regardless of the system having python installed

the issue below documents a potential problem with using this tool in combination with sanic-openapi

I've tried your suggestion but it didn't work. The code is as below:

# sanic-openapi-test.py
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import json
from sanic_openapi import swagger_blueprint

app = Sanic(name="sanic_openapi_test")
app.blueprint(swagger_blueprint)

@app.route("/")
async def test(request):
    return json({"hello": "world"})

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

And I packaged the code by PyInstaller (pip install pyinstaller)

 pyinstaller sanic-openapi-test.py

Went into the dist directory that is made by the command above and ran the sanic_openapi_test.exe. The error appeared:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hope you can help me solve this problem. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that! I unfortunately don't have access to any windows computers nor experience with pyinstaller so cant help you with this one then, but hope you can figure it out ...

It is not specific to windows. This happens on linux too.

I'll take a look in Sunday. Double check to make sure you have latest version of Sanic installed.
