I have written a simple python script that I am now trying to make an exe file. Whenever I try to run the resulting exe, the program fails at import pandas and I get the following error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myProgram.py", line 14, in <module>

ImportError: C extension: No module named tslib not built. If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need to run 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace --force' to build the C extensions first.

Looking at the cmd output, hook-pandas is loaded. So this is not an issue with pyinstaller finding the pandas hook.

I did have to add pandas-hook to Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks myself. See No module named 'pandas._libs.tslibs.timedeltas' in PyInstaller and https://github.com/lneuhaus/pyinstaller/commit/017b247064f9bd51a620cfb2172c05d63fc75133. Could that be a problem?
Earlier I also tried altering the spec file based on this question, PyInstaller and Pandas, with no luck.
Using:
python 2.7
pyinstaller 3.3.1
pandas 0.22.0.
If anyone knows why pyinstaller can't use a loaded hook or has any ideas as to what to try next, I would really appreciate it.
