pyInstaller：ImportError：没有名为“ praw”的模块

Question

I wanted to pack my script using pyInstaller. I run pyinstaller file.py -F , file is created successfully, but when running I get ImportError: No module named 'praw' . So I created new file containing only import praw and run pyinstaller file.py -F --hidden-import=praw but still get the same error when running.
I was unable to find anything similar, most issues were solved by using --hidden-import .
Any ideas on how it can be solved?
EDIT:
praw is installed inside virtual environment and running the script directly works as expected.

Answer 1

Seem pyinstaller run outside the virtualenv. Try switch to your virtualenv and run:

python -m PyInstaller -F file.py

Answer 2

I'll recommend to look at pyenv or virtualenv. Activate these env's and install the praw module here. This should work.

Answer 3

This command might help you out. It installs the Praw module for you. Make sure you have pip installed!

pip install praw

Answer 4

I found a way to solve the issue:

When using Python2.7, or starting the shell like python2 , we need to do

python2 -m pip install --user praw

to make sure they are linked during installation.

Same idea for python3 shell.
