Sometimes I have python code with conditional imports.
Sometimes I know, that the version, that I want to ship with ipython
must not (will never) import certain dependencies.
Thus my question of how to tell pyinstaller to not 'autodiscover'
certain conditional imports and its dependencies
Two examples:
1.) Alternative bindings
---------------------------
I have code, that uses try except to import either PyQt or PySide.
Obviously I don't want to ship with PySide and PyQT.
2.) Exclude optional modules
-------------------------------
There seems to be a bug in ipython, that causes my build to fail.
The problem is related to an import of Ipython.terminal.embed
For the time being (until I know the real solution for this issue)
I could live with the fact, that only my local release uses ipython and
the version created with pyinstaller would not use ipython. (it's mostly
for debugging anyway.)
Thus I had to know how to tell pyinstaller to NOT consider my
conditional import of
Ipython.terminal.embed
To show you how my code would look like:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
args = sys.argv[1:]
if len(args) >= 1 and args[0] == 'use_ipython':
print("special functionality never being used with a "
"pyinstaller version")
from IPython.terminal.embed import InteractiveShellEmbed
print("this should work with pyinstaller")
print("ARGS %r" % args)
# ####### end of code

One way is to use a virtual env containing onle the required
modules.
Or you can manipulate result of the Analysis() call in the .spec-file, see <http://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/#id38>

Sounds like a good solution:
Howver I have one small problem:
a virtualenv can be created with or without system-site-packages
What I would need is to include some system-site-packages (e.g. pywin32,
but to exclude others PyQT)
Is this possible with virtualenv?

Also an option:
Does somebody have a plugin / code to exclude all PyQT dependencies?
I'll probably manage to implement this somehow, but wonder whether this
would be as elegant as some existing solutions.

The most simple way should be to remove the links from
<virtualenv>/lib/python/site-packages.
But to repeat it: For what you want to get, you should better build a proper deb-package.

Hi Hartmut,
I tried to follow your suggestion and setup a virtualenv containing just
the modules, that are allowed to be auto-discovered.
First error message, that I get is:
Error: PyInstaller for Python 2.6+ on Windows needs pywin32.
Please install from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
How can I install pywin32 in a virtualenv?
PLease see below a few success less attempts:

I *think* I've manipuled the TOC in a spec file to remove unwanted imports -- would that work? Here's an example (from long ago) of excluding Tk:
# -*- mode: python -*-
a = Analysis(['code_chat.py'],
pathex=['C:\\Users\\bjones\\Documents\\documentation'],
hiddenimports=[],
hookspath=['pyinstaller_hooks'],
excludes=['_tkinter']) # ********************* THIS LINE **********************
pyz = PYZ(a.pure)
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts, # + [('v', '', 'OPTION')], # for extra run-time debug
exclude_binaries=1,
name=os.path.join('build\\pyi.win32\\code_chat', 'code_chat.exe'),
debug=False,
strip=None,
upx=False,
console=True )
coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=None,
upx=False,
name=os.path.join('dist', 'code_chat'))

I'm running under Windows. That's why I have the dependency on win32.

Not sure, but I thought you suggested to somebody else to create a
proper deb-package.
Pyinstaller seems in my opinion quite appropriate for my use case.
I try to create a self contained version of a Python application for
Windows, that should still allow some degrees of simple debugging /
patching and that should not be bigger than necessary and that should
not contain PyQt and PySide as one binding is enough.
However some of the modules I'm using do try to pull in both of them.
that's why I try to exclude PyQT.

Yes, seams as if I mixed the cases :-)

Searching the web for exactly this question gives several hits. The
first one looks okay for me and fitting exactly your case:

For this case, the solution Brian suggested, sounds good.
``excludes`` is documented in the code as:
An optional list of module or package names (their Python names,
not path names) that will be ignored (as though they were not found).
I just found that this is not documented in the manual :-(

Yes following command (from your url) works.
easy_install pywin32-291.win32-py2.7.exe
works fine. I always forget, that pip is a little limited for installing
binary packages.
