“maximum recursion depth exceeded” while packaging py file with py2exe

Question

The py2exe worked quite well on the same py file several months ago. But when I tried it again today it failed by reporting a “RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Answer 1

It works for Pyinstaller

Create a spec file

pyi-makespec options name.py 

Modify this spec by adding to start of file

import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(5000) # or more

Build the executable file

pyi options name.spec
