Making exe for Python script with external dependencies

[joshuaahuang]

I'm trying to convert a Python script using numpy and pandas into a Python executable and I can't seem to figure out how. I'm using the exe.read_package_root and the instruction found here (https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/v0.9.0/packaging_python_executable.html) to run and make the .exe, but whenever I try to package files instead of in-memory resources for numpy/pandas (https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/v0.9.0/packaging_additional_files.html) the module of my script is no longer found. How can I make the executable work w/ the external dependencies?

I have also been struggling with this issue, but I haven't been able to find any solutions. Most of the workarounds are giving me errors, but I'm not exactly sure why.

This was the latest instructions I was trying to get to work.

I just ran in to this too 😬

I started with minimal example using requirements.txt and config.run_module = "main" from #246 (comment), works fine.

Then I introduce import numpy and see the __file__ problem. I workaround that per here (via #65 (comment)) with:

    policy.set_resource_handling_mode("files")
    policy.resources_location_fallback = "filesystem-relative:lib"

    python_config = dist.make_python_interpreter_config()
    python_config.module_search_paths = ["$ORIGIN/lib"]

# .....

    for resource in exe.pip_download(["numpy==1.24.1"]):
        resource.add_location = "filesystem-relative:lib"
        exe.add_python_resource(resource)

But now I get:

/ng/oxidizer/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/install/testapp: No module named main

Any tips @indygreg / @SafeEval ? 🙏🏻
