error in running exe file having xgboost package by using pyinstaller

问题

I have a code for predicting some value that uses xgboost package in the code. When I run it in PyCharm, it runs as expected.

The problem is when I make an executable file using pyinstaller. It will make the exe without any error, but when I run it the following error is raised:

  `Traceback (most recent call last):

I cannot realize what's wrong here. Any idea or suggestion will be really appreciated.

It seems that Pyinstaller can't find the xgboost.dll, VERSION files. So you need to add them manually to your output package. I also suggest you use a try/except block to see what is going on. Suppose this simple example:

import traceback
try:
    import xgboost
    input("xgboost imported successfully!")
except Exception:
    traceback.print_exc()
    input("Import Error!")

I suggest you use an env to build your script so, you need to add the xgboost directory located at <path_to_venv>/xgboost and VERSION file located at <path_to_venv>/Lib/site-packages/xboost. Next, add them as a data-file with pyinstaller. Launch your env and execute the below command (My virtualenv named as env):

├───myscript.py
├───env

Command:

(env) > pyinstaller myscript.py -F --add-data "./env/xgboost/*;xgboost/" --add-data "./env/Lib/site-packages/xgboost/VERSION;xgboost/"
