I am trying to create an executable file (exe) for a Python script that I written in PyCharm.
When I run the script from the PyCharm is working fine but when I try to run it as an individual .py or try to run the exe I am getting an error.
The issue I believe is with the "from infi.devicemanager import DeviceManager" library.
from infi.devicemanager import DeviceManager # Used for the retrievement of Device manager information
dm = DeviceManager()
dm.root.rescan()
devs = dm.all_devices # Get all the devices to a list called devs
for d in devs:
print (d.description)
I get following error:
PS C:\Python> python.exe .\tests.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\tests.py", line 1, in <module>
import infi.devicemanager # Used for the retrievement of Device manager information
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'infi'
PS C:\Python> pyinstaller -F .\tests.py
PS C:\Python\dist> .\tests.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tests.py", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'infi'
[15072] Failed to execute script tests
Is there a way to include this library to the exe file so anyone without python can run this script?
I am open to suggestions.
Thank you in advance!
=== UPDATE ===
Full script can be found here

My answer assumes that the interpreter that has infi.devicemanager is C:\Python\venv\Scripts\python.exe as stated by OP in the comments
So there is virtual environment named venv. You need to activate the virtual environment and install PyInstaller in it.
C:\Python>venv\Scripts\activate
(venv)C:\Python>
Note (venv) in front of your shell - that means virtual environment venv is activated
Now install PyInstaller
(venv)C:\Python>pip install pyinstaller
-- here it will install pyinstaller --
now you can test that both pyinstaller and infi.devicemanager are installed in venv
(venv)C:\Python>pip list
it should list both packages among some others. now
(venv)C:\Python>pyinstaller -F C:\Python\tests.py --hidden-import=infi.devicemanager
--here it will create the exe --
if I was right it should work now
EDIT: It looks like infi is using __import__(pkg_resources), so the command should be
(venv)C:\Python>pyinstaller -F C:\Python\tests.py --hidden-import=infi.devicemanager --hiden-import=pkg_resources

I know there has been similar problems, but unfortunately most of them are related to errors with pyperclip itself instead of the batch file, which i suspect is where the problem stems from.
Below is an MRE of my Python script:
#! python3 -> Do I have to use my version(3.8)?
# pw.py - An insecure password locker program.
import sys, pyperclip
#do something with the module
And my batch file pw.bat:
#py.exe C:\Users\KEVIN\PycharmProjects\atbs_exercise\pw.py %*
#pause
I am running python 3.8 on windows 10. I imported the pyperclip module in my python script pw.py and ran the file via pw.bat, and this in turn gives me this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\KEVIN\PycharmProjects\atbs_exercise\pw.py", line 7, in <module>
import sys, pyperclip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip'
Press any key to continue . . .
Which shouldn't happen as I have installed pyperclip on the project using pip, and the script itself runs just fine in pycharm. What am I missing?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am using pycharm. So the thing is that pycharm had also installed python.exe in the project folder. And as the module pyperclip is only installed to that folder, the python.exe used in the bat must point to the one in the project folder.
i don't know why are you using py.exe. when running commands from a batch file or cmd .you should use python.exe.obviously you would need to add python to add for doing so.instead of adding py.exe to path,add python in system variable Path which is somewhere present in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\(your path might be diffrernt).you can add python in Path by following this post
after adding python to path just use the following batch-file:
#echo off
python path-to-your-py-file\filename.py
I have the following scenario:
A Python3 Package (meross_iot) installed through pip and located in
~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
A Python script (meross_electricity.py) that imports from this package: from meross_iot.controller.mixins.electricity import ElectricityMixin
A shell script (launcher.sh) that is meant to be a wrapper so that the .py script is run at startup:
#!/bin/sh
# launcher.sh
# navigate to home directory, then to this directory, then execute python script, then back home
cd /
cd home/pi/Documents
sudo python meross_electricity.py
cd /
If I simply execute the .py file everything works as expected, imports done, etc. If I try to run the .sh script I get the following error:
pi#home:~/Documents $ ./launcher.sh
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "meross_electricity.py", line 4, in <module>
from meross_iot.controller.mixins.electricity import ElectricityMixin
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'meross_iot'
Can someone please help me solve this issue?
Thanks!
Installed package with sudo worked .

trying to run a flask dev server on localhost:5000 using a virtualenv on Windows 7
In my command line in the project directory, i activated the virtualenv with the command "env\scripts\activate". It seemed to work, as my next line was preceded with an (env) tag. When I attempted to run the app file (bank_app), however, I got an import error.
Here's the console log
C:\Users\TJ\Documents\Python Projects\TestingPython> env\scripts\activate
(env) C:\Users\TJ\Documents\Python Projects\TestingPython> bank_app
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\TJ\Documents\Python Projects\TestingPython\bank_app.py", line 1, in <module>
from flask import Flask
ImportError: No module named flask
and here's a gist of the bank_app file (just in case it's relevant)
I'm used to running the code directly from PyCharm, which handles the virtualenv for me. it works fine running directly from PyCharm
This is probably related to how Windows maps extensions to executables.
You started the script with bank_app, which is really not the name of your script (your script has a .py extension I assume?). Windows must be doing a search in your directory, and then starting the script with the interpreter that is registered for the .py extension of the script, which is the globally installed interpreter, not the interpreter that is currently in the PATH.
I'm pretty sure if you run the command as python bank_app.py everything will work just fine.
I am on Windows Server 2012R2, trying to compile a script with py2exe, within a virtualenv, and I'm getting issues whenever one of the application scripts tries to "import distutils" (in my case, it's somewhere inside a 3rd-party library, but I reduced the problem here).
Steps to reproduce:
Create a virtualenv
virtualenv venv
call venv\Scripts\activate
Install py2exe inside the virtualenv
easy_install --always-unzip py2exe-0.6.9.win64-py2.7.amd64.exe
Create setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
try:
import py2exe
except:
pass
setup(
console=[
'py2exe_distutils.py'
]
)
Create py2exe_distutils.py
import distutils
Run py2exe
python setup.py py2exe
Try to run the generated executable
dist\py2exe_distutils.exe
It returns:
C:\Users\root\p\dist\library.zip\distutils\__init__.py:14: UserWarning: The virtualenv distutils package at %s appears to be in the same location as the system distutils?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "py2exe_distutils.py", line 6, in <module>
import distutils
File "distutils\__init__.pyc", line 25, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name dist
The script runs fine when I run it directly (python py2exe_distutils.py), even from within the virtualenv.
Am I trying to do something unsupported by py2exe, or is something wrong with my setup?
I had the same problem while creating an executable that used pandas 0.12.0. This worked for me: before you create the executable, copy the distutils folder from the base python installation
robocopy C:\Python27\Lib\distutils venv\Lib\distutils /E /COPY:DAT
I am using virtualenv 12.0.4 and py2exe 0.6.6 on Windows 7 Professional. Some extra insight can be found here. This answer pointed me in the direction of just copying the files.
I'm working with python 2.7 (32-bit) on Windows Vista. I downloaded some libraries including numpy, scipy, and pygame. When I try to import these modules the output says
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import numpy
ImportError: No module named numpy
I can find these modules in my python folders but for some reason it doesn't want to recognize it or some thing. (I made sure the file were compatible before downloading.)
Each package should contain a setup.py file. Run this with the command python setup.py install
For more information:
http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Windows
http://pygame.org/install.html
"Everytime I run the command "python setup.py install" in the python shell it says SyntaxError: invalid syntax "
Please create a folder where you unzip the "numpy.zip" file, say the folder name is "c:\numpy"
Open a MS-DOS terminal (as described here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface), and type :
cd c:\numpy
python setup.py config
python setup.py install
This will set up the needed files in the correct folders for your python.
Enjoy !
To properly install this module:
In the Windows search bar (START MENU) type Command Prompt
Right-click on the Command Prompt icon (DO NOT go to cmd)
Click Run as Administrator
in the COMMAND PROMPT (DO NOT open cmd) type:
pip install numpy
This will install that module.
NOTE: If you are NOT in admin mode, you will get a message saying a fatal error has been raised.
