PyInstaller and OpenGL Error. ImportError: cannot import name 'opengl_arrays_modules' from 'PyInstaller.utils.hooks'

Question

I installed the latest version of PyInstaller using this command: pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip

I try to bundle the simplest code using this command: pyinstaller --onefile --noupx main.py

main.py

from OpenGL import GL

print("Hello, OpenGL")

I got this error: ImportError: cannot import name 'opengl_arrays_modules' from 'PyInstaller.utils.hooks'

Using python 3.8.5:

I tried to upgrade the hooks :

pip install -U pyinstaller-hooks-contrib

to upgrade the hooks, it replies with

Requirement already up-to-date: pyinstaller-hooks-contrib in c:\python38\lib\site-packages (2020.7)

I removed the pip version :

pip uninstall pyinstaller-hooks-contrib

So, I had to update with the repository files:

git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller-hooks-contrib.git
cd pyinstaller-hooks-contrib
python setup.py install

I have now 2020.8 version setted up and the inital problem is solved

I made as you wrote. I built my example using the command `pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --noupx main.py` When I tried to run `main.exe` I got the error: `Fatal error detected. Failed to execute script pyi_rth_pkgres`. But I found that I can use addition key and it works: `pyinstaller --hidden-import=pkg_resources.py2_warn --onefile --windowed --noupx main.py` – 8Observer8 Aug 26 '20 at 17:29
This worked perfectly for me. I wonder why they haven't uploaded the 2020.8 version to Pypi yet. – vikarjramun Aug 27 '20 at 21:08
@8Observer8 please give your references, and which python versin you are using . https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37815371/pyinstaller-failed-to-execute-script-pyi-rth-pkgres-and-missing-packages – sancelot Sep 02 '20 at 06:55
@sancelot I am using 3.7.8 – 8Observer8 Sep 02 '20 at 10:59
Nice simple fix. Thanks! – Magnus Sep 10 '20 at 21:33

Pyinstaller developpers have recently made changes in the hooks. The one for OpenGL has been moved to https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller-hooks-contrib . I believe you still have the old hook from a previous installation of pyinstaller. This one will not work since they also made changes in the code. You should delete the OpeenGL hook (C:\Users\8Observer8\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\_pyinstaller_hooks_contrib\hooks\stdhooks\hook-OpenGL.py) or remove pyinstaller and install it again. Then get the contrib form github and point to it with --additional-hooks-dir

Thank you very much. It works. My steps: (1) I deleted the `hook-OpenGL.py` file, (2) `pip uninstall pyinstaller`, (3) pip install pyinstaller, (4) I added a new key to PyInstaller `--hidden-import=pkg_resources.py2_warn` because I had the runtime error `Failed to execute script pyi_rth_pkgres`. Now command look like this: `pyinstaller --hidden-import=pkg_resources.py2_warn --onefile --windowed --noupx main.py` It works with OpenGL from PySDL2 and PySide2 – 8Observer8 Jul 23 '20 at 13:01

It doesn't work with wxPython. I did all of this. I saw that

It works with OpenGL from PySDL2 and PySide2

Try this sequence of commands: (1) `pip uninstall pyinstaller-hooks-contrib` (2) `git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller-hooks-contrib.git` (3) `cd pyinstaller-hooks-contrib` (4) `python setup.py install` (5) `pyinstaller --hidden-import=pkg_resources.py2_warn --onefile --windowed --noupx main.py` – 8Observer8 Aug 26 '20 at 17:34
