How can I know which DLL is missing ?

[harvey13 π]

I have a python file that works correctly when launched from the command line, I want to package it in an exe, but since I added ffpyplayer, I can't get an exe that works: I still have a problem loading the ffpyplayer module.

The line : from ffpyplayer.player import MediaPlayer

raise an error : ImportError: DLL load failed while importing player: The specified module could not be found.

I think I added all the dlls in the spec, but how do I know which one is missing?

any message in 'warn-xxx.txt'？ it is in dir 'build'

I actually have a warn-Video.txt file, with more than 200 lines..
mainly about numpy, while I don't use it
the only line about ffpyplayer is: missing module named pytest - imported by ffpyplayer.tests.test_write (top-level)

interesting file to know !

You can get a list of DLLs being used by your code by putting:

import psutil # Get this process i.e. Python. process = psutil.Process() # Print all loaded DLLs. for i in process.memory_maps(): print(i.path)

at the end of it then running your code normally (without PyInstaller). You can then compare that list to the DLLs in your pyinstaller-ed application. It’s tedious but it’s about as good as it gets on Windows.
