pytz issues

[Jamie Kirkpatrick]

Hi there

I've had an issue for some time which prevents me from using the current trunk.  See the ouput from my executable built in debug mode:

KidA% ./PrWebServices 

thisfile is ./PrWebServices

_MEIPASS2 (workpath) is NULL

homepath is ./

Extracting binaries

Executing self as child with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/folders/gD/gDkFCkxTGOyzotDoOXSAY++++TI/-Tmp-//_MEILzo0ym

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/folders/gD/gDkFCkxTGOyzotDoOXSAY++++TI/-Tmp-//_MEILzo0ym:/Users/jkp/Development/Prestige/git/Deliver/Debug

thisfile is ./PrWebServices

_MEIPASS2 (workpath) is /var/folders/gD/gDkFCkxTGOyzotDoOXSAY++++TI/-Tmp-//_MEILzo0ym/

homepath is ./

Already have a workpath - running!

OK.

Back to parent...

I try to leave the detection of pytz to PyInstaller but its no good: it cant seem to pick it up correctly.  In this case I'm explicitly setting it using hiddenimports but still no luck.  Any clues?  This is the case for me on both win32 and osx.

Thanks

When you see an importerror, there are three alternatives:

1. The package is not detected as an import by PyInstaller. You need to
declare it as hiddenimport. This can't be the case of this e-mail, for
instance, because there's a blatantly clear "import pytz" in line 6 in
soaplib/serializers/primitive.py, and PyInstaller can't miss that.
2. The package is detected but PyInstaller fails to bundle it into the
generated executable. You can check this with ArchiveViewer: do the
package and all its subfiles appear within the executable? If so, we
need to investigate why (eg: is the packaged shipped as .egg?).
3. The package is correctly bundled but PyInstaller at runtime fails to
load it (this, eg., was the case with the recent encodings problems with
Python 2.6). In this case, we need to track and fix a bug in iu.py; the
first thing to try is to turn on debugging support at the top of the
file, and post the output to the mailing list.

BTW, I'll copy this e-mail to the FAQ on the website :)
