Using PyInstaller (console, onefile) on a .py file that includes statsmodels

Question

When I run the .exe , it generates the following in the console output:

C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\dist>SNAPpy279.exe

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 26, in <module> File "C:\\Python27\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyInstaller\\loader\\pyi_importers.py", line 270, in load_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\build\\SNAPpy279\\out00-PYZ.pyz\\statsmodels.api", line 19, in <module> File "C:\\Python27\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyInstaller\\loader\\pyi_importers.py", line 270, in load_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\build\\SNAPpy279\\out00-PYZ.pyz\\statsmodels.__init__", line 8, in <module> ImportError: No module named tools.sm_exceptions

Any potentially easy solutions for this? Suggestions?

Answer 1

UPDATE: Ran into this once again and my fix did not work. To solve it, I changed the line
from .tools.sm_exceptions import (ConvergenceWarning, CacheWriteWarning, IterationLimitWarning, InvalidTestWarning)
In \\statsmodels\\__init__.py at line 8 to :
from statsmodels.tools.sm_exceptions import (ConvergenceWarning, CacheWriteWarning, IterationLimitWarning, InvalidTestWarning)

I think I ran in the same issue last week. In my case, I fixed it by adding
import statsmodels.api
in my main script.
The import was done within another module previously.

Hoping this helps.
