pyinstaller fails with plotly

Question

I am compiling my current program using pyinstaller and it seems to not be able to handle all required files in plotly. It runs fine on its own, and without plotly it can compile and run as well.

It seems be to failing to find a file "default-schema.json" that I cannot even locate anywhere on my drive.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "comdty_runtime.py", line 17, in File "", line 2237, in _find_and_load File "", line 2226, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 1191, in _load_unlocked File "", line 1161, in _load_backward_compatible File "d:\users\ktehrani\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\py34\lib\site-p ackages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 389, in load_module exec(bytecode, module.dict) File "actual_vs_mai.py", line 12, in File "", line 2237, in _find_and_load File "", line 2226, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 1191, in _load_unlocked File "", line 1161, in _load_backward_compatible File "d:\users\ktehrani\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\py34\lib\site-p ackages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 389, in load_module exec(bytecode, module.dict) File "site-packages\plotly__init__.py", line 31, in File "", line 2237, in _find_and_load File "", line 2226, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 1191, in _load_unlocked

I came across the same problem, and worked my way through the pyinstaller documentation to find out what to do:

pyinstaller creates a .spec file with the same name as your .py file. under a = Analysis, you will find datas = []

a = Analysis(['graphic_interface.py'],
             pathex=[xxx],
             binaries=[],
             datas=[],
             hiddenimports=[],
             hookspath=[],
             runtime_hooks=[],
             excludes=[],
             win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
             win_private_assemblies=False,
             cipher=block_cipher,
             noarchive=False)

there you add the path for plotly. a relative path didn't work for me, so I set an absolute path

datas=[('C:\\Users\\Me\\PycharmProjects\\Project\\venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\plotly\\', 'plotly')],

now you have to use the spec file when running pyinstaller

pyinstaller myproject.spec myproject.py

you dont need to worry about other commands like oneFile etc, because they are already saved in the .spec file

I arrived at this party a bit late, but I found your answer extremely helpful. Thanks! — fishbacp, Jun 30 '20 at 19:33

You can still use the one file option, just make a .spec file for pyinstaller and include the needed plotly directories in datas like so:

...

datas=[('(...)/Python/Python36-32/Lib/site-packages/plotly/', './plotly/')],

...

I believe you are missing a starting bracket at the moment `datas=[('(...)/Python/Python36-32/Lib/site-packages/plotly/', './plotly/')]`, – Mark Adamson Jul 04 '18 at 12:55

Where should one add this line?? – Soerendip Feb 25 '20 at 21:19

it's seem like plotly isn't fully supported by PyInstaller.
I used an work around solution that worked for me.

Don't use the one file option
Completely copy the plotly package(for me it was Lib\site-packages\plotly) for the python installation directory into the /dist/{exe name}/ directory

This might not solve your issue but it solved my issues with Plotly maps. I put this code into my .spec file and was able to run Plotly charts after going through PyInstaller. Could not get my maps to show and was getting error messages.

File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>"
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotly.validators.choropleth' pyinstaller

Now it works using the below:

# -*- mode: python ; coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(5000)

block_cipher = None


a = Analysis(['napdgui.py'],
             pathex=['C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Desktop\\Python\\NA\\naguiv1'],
             binaries=[],
             datas=[('C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Anaconda3\\Lib\\site-packages\\plotly\\', 'plotly'),
                ],
             hiddenimports=['pkg_resources.py2_warn', 'app.urls'],
             hookspath=[],
             runtime_hooks=[],
             excludes=[],
             win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
             win_private_assemblies=False,
             cipher=block_cipher,
             noarchive=False)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
             cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
          a.scripts,
          [],
          exclude_binaries=True,
          name='Tool v08122020',
          debug=False,
          bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
          strip=False,
          upx=True,
          console=True )
coll = COLLECT(exe,
               a.binaries,
               a.zipfiles,
               a.datas,
               strip=False,
               upx=True,
               upx_exclude=[],
               name='Analysis Tool v081320')

Before using pyinstaller, make sure that the imports that you are using in your program are specifically listed in the requirements file.

pip freeze->requirements.txt quickly creates a requirements file in your program.

I am not sure if this is the solution? I had similar issues that seem to go away once I updated the requirements file then making an executable.
