PortScannerError 'nmap program not found in path' (but it is in path)

Question

I am getting an error that nmap is not found in my PATH (using python-nmap). However, it is in my PATH.

Nmap works when I execute my script in Python, but when I use pyinstaller to freeze the code to a .exe file, I get this error when I try to run my code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "utils\map_network.py", line 7, in scan_network
  File "site-packages\nmap\nmap.py", line 131, in __init__
PortScannerError: 'nmap program was not found in path. PATH is :

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Nmap;

As you can see, I have Nmap in my PATH. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I managed to get around this error by upgrading to Python 3.5. Was using Python 2.7.
