Problem statement:
I can't seem to run
'PyInstaller --onefile myfile.py'
on a file containing
import wmi
It cannot find win32api. I get a popup warning saying python has stopped etc. My console says "ImportError: No module named 'win32api'". I can run 'import win32api', 'import win32com', and 'import WMI' in python directly in the same environment without issue. I fundamentally don't understand what is wrong here.
Error message:
3469 INFO: Loading module hook "hook-pywintypes.py"...
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
ImportError: No module named 'win32api'
I have tried:
PyInstaller - ImportError: No module named win32api - 'import os' works fine for PyInstaller and runs fine in python.
No module named 'win32api' - Not very helpful
How to install pywin32 module in windows 7 - This is where I got the SF link (python3.5 amd64 pywin32 version)
ImportError: no module named win32api - I thought it might be a path thing, but my installation appears to be in the correct place: "C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\pkgs\pywin32-220-py35_2\Lib\site-packages\win32"
I can run 'PyInstaller --onefile myscript.py' on other files, and have without issue as long as they don't use the wmi module.
I looked at the win32com _init__.py line 5 where it's messing up and it's just an import statement for win32api.
System:
Windows 7 x64, Python 3.5.3 64bit, Anaconda 4.3.14 64bit, using pyinstaller 3.2.3 (recommended by this thread), with pywin32 220 (with sourceforge download [I know, I tried pip, conda, and easy_install]) and I'm running it in cmder as an admin.
