PyInstaller Missing Module Errors Even After Including Specifically

python macos compilation pyinstaller
14,152

Solution 1

Fixed it. Looks like the solution was a combination of using --onedir instead of --onefile and switching back to the latest release of PyInstaller instead of the dev pyqt5-fix version, and setting org.qt-project.Qt.QtWebEngineCore as the bundle_identifier. Also make sure you have Qt5 installed in addition to PyQt5.

Command

pyinstaller --onefile --name=Staticbot --windowed Staticbot.spec

Requirements

System

  • Python 3.6.5

app = BUNDLE(coll,
             name='Staticbot.app',
             bundle_identifier='org.qt-project.Qt.QtWebEngineCore')

Solution 2

It's a bit difficult to determine why the .app is not running, but it may be due to a missing module, as you suggest. You can more easily see the error message associated with the premature closing of the application by running the .app from the terminal (rather than double-clicking the executable file):

/path/to/app/dist/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp

If this reports an error that you can not debug, add it to your question as an edit.

If the program fails because it has failed to import a module, you can add the module to the hiddenimports list in the .spec file and run PyInstaller again (pyinstaller myfile.spec). Or you could add the following option to your PyInstaller command:

pyinstaller [options] --hiddenimport=missing_module myfile.py

I do not think that importing the modules through the pathex or datas lists is the recommended way to explicitly add them.

Solution 3

Make sure to run the correct pyinstaller when you're using a virtual env. You need to use the one that is installed in that specific venv.

    Pyinstaller compiles my app into an .exe on Windows fine, but I'm not able to build a working .app on Mac. I've tried --onefile and --onedir, but no dice, the app just opens and then closes immediately reporting a crash. It looks like a module import issue, but I've tried importing all the modules I know how through the .spec file in pathex and datas. I've reinstalled pyinstaller to both release and dev versions. Any ideas what else I can try? Thanks!
