Hello,

i've made a simple script that fills up a form on a page with fake data, which  is generated through a module called Faker.

the problem is that it can't find a certain module "faker.providers", but the script works without a problem when ran from PyCharm.

The things that i've tried so far:hidden import,hook.

Could you please give me some advice how to proceed? 

Thanks In Advance

Well i've checked the link that you provided,but still i am facing the same issue. Maybe  the problem is that the module loads dynamic random data when the app has been started. I've tried dynamic hooks, hiddenimports and everything possible,but still can't figure out why it can't find the module. In --onedir mode i can see the module is missing but that doesn't help me too much.

Have a Nice Day

I got this working using a hook for faker. The trick is to collect both submodules and data files from faker.providers.

tree:

.
├── example.py
└── pyinstaller
    ├── hook-faker.py

example.py:

$ cat example.py
from faker import Faker
fake = Faker()

print fake.password(
    length=3,
    special_chars=False,
    digits=True,
    upper_case=False,
    lower_case=True
)

print fake.domain_name()

pyinstaller/hook-faker.py:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules, collect_data_files
hiddenimports = collect_submodules('faker', 'providers')
datas = collect_data_files('faker.providers', include_py_files=True)

build command:

$ pyinstaller --clean --distpath dist --name example --additional-hooks-dir pyinstaller/ example.py

run bundle:

$ ./dist/example/example
