Issues with pyinstaller and pyproj

Question

I\'m trying to do an standalone application with pyinstaller. The executable has just build fine, but when I´m trying to do some operations with functions integrated on libr

Answer 1

from PyInstaller.hooks.hookutils import collect_data_files
 datas = collect_data_files('pyproj')

• This didn't worked for me. There were some errors in the executable again.

But I found in another thread that the problem can be solved with this:

from mpl_toolkits.basemap import pyproj as pyproj

pyinstaller seem to have problems to integrate the pyproj module itself, but basemap includes pyproj and is not ignored by pyinstaller.

Just for update

Answer 2

The problem is that when using pyproj with PyInstaller, pyproj can not find the data files that are in the library folder.

The solution is to create a hook file, which will specify where the data files, so you can link them with our executable.

 hook-pyproj.py

 from PyInstaller.hooks.hookutils import collect_data_files
 datas = collect_data_files('pyproj')

The hook file can be located on "hooks" folder on Pyinstaller installation or using the order --additional-hooks-dir, specifying a folder in which will be located "hook-pyproj.py"

Answer 3

Just threading on the previous answer, since 2014 there has been some refactoring on PyInstaller and here is the correct import line for the hook file above :

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files
datas = collect_data_files('pyproj')
