python requests can't find a folder with a certificate when converted to .exe

Question

I have a program that pools ad stats from different marketing systems. Everything works fine untill i convert it to the .exe format and run it.

Exception in          


        

Answer 1

This might be issue with requests package.

I solved this by manually copying the cacert.pem file from /lib/site-packages/certifi to /lib/site-packages/requests

If you want to fix this issue with .exe, then cacert.pem file from /lib/site-packages/certifi to dist/library.zip/certifi/.

I am considering you have created exe using py2exe, where py2exe will create library.zip under dist/ which contains of all script dependencies. I don't know if other exe converters create library.zip.

Hope this helps.
