I\'m working in Windows, using PyInstaller to package a python file. But some error is occuring:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"<

Had similar issues. Here's my fix for PyQt5, cffi, python 3.4.3:

This fixes the 'sip' not found error and the '_cffi_backend' one if that comes up:

# -*- mode: python -*-

block_cipher = None


a = Analysis(['LightShowApp.py'],
             pathex=['c:\\MyProjects\\light-show-editor-36',
             'c:\\Python34\\libs\\', 'c:\\Python34\\Lib\\site-packages'],
             binaries=None,
             datas=None,
             hiddenimports=['sip', 'cffi'],
             hookspath=[],
             runtime_hooks=[],
             excludes=[],
             win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
             win_private_assemblies=False,
             cipher=block_cipher)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
             cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
          a.scripts,
          a.binaries,
          a.zipfiles,
          a.datas,
          name='LightShowApp',
          debug=False,
          strip=False,
          upx=True,
          console=True )

Look at 'pathex' and 'hiddenimports' above. Those are the only changes from default generated. Build exe with:

pyinstaller LightShowApp.spec -F

I ran that outside of venv or pip-win - whateverTF that crap is for!
