I Made a simple program, tried to make an executable out of it via PyInstaller. No errors whatsoever, but when running this executable it crashes on the first line - import eel, telling - there is no module called 'bottle-websocket'.

I checked pip: eel, bottle-websocket are installed. Can't figure out what's the problem. Runs perfectly as a raw python file, but when executed throws this weird error. Attachments:

main.py:

import eel
import sys

def getcurrentdir():
    a = sys.argv[0].split("\\")
    currentdir = ''
    for i in range(len(a) - 1):
        currentdir += a[i] + "\\"
    return currentdir

eel.init(getcurrentdir + "\\web")
eel.start('main.html', block=False)
while True:
   eel.sleep(10)

Error: CMD error

I found this in PyInstaller Warning file:

bottle.ext' MissingModule
imported by: eel

Hello ! Did you follow the readme to create your executable? "bottle_websocket" is a module that pyinstaller isn't smart enough to detect as a dependency. If you check how python -m eel work under the hood by looking into the __main__.py file, you will see that --hidden-module bottle_websocket is passed to pyinstaller to tell him to add it. Unless I misdiagnosed your problem you should either use the recommended python -m eel or use pyinstaller with a similar way you can see in __main__.py

Hi, I was actually following the tutorial until it threw some errors about a web folder not being empty. Now I tried with the empty web folder and it worked, thanks.

Hey guys, Sorry, I'm experiencing the same problem.

I tried to follow the readme and I'm bit unsure about step 4, where it says
"Check the contents of dist folder for extra modules that pyinstaller is incorrectly including"
How would I know which modules are extra? There is no folder or file called extra in my case, maybe there aren't any but when I run the app in dist folder built by python -m eel web.py pl works fine but as soon as I run
pyinstaller.exe --onefile --icon=d:\EEL\favicon.ico --version-file=d:\EEL\pl\version.txt web.py --hidden-import bottle_websocket
the single exe file doesn't work.

I looked into the main.py and I see hidden-import bottle_websocket but not sure how to build it. Please help, all the your support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there,
Try running the pyinstaller this way if you want it to pack eel and bottle-websocket correctly:
py {PATH TO THE EEL's main.py}_main_.py {PATH TO YOUR PY FILE}\py_file.py {PATH TO THE WEB FOLDER} --onefile

e.g. I would use on my pc:
py C:\Users\Misha\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages\eel_main_.py C:\Users\Misha\Desktop\ll\main.py C:\Users\Misha\Desktop\ll\web --onefile

Not sure what permission is required but I can confirm the folder is not in use anywhere.

Thanks Misha,
It worked on windows but when I run the same on a Mac OS X I get the below error during the packaging.

ERROR: Can not find path ./libtbb.dylib (needed by /Users/vimal/anaconda3/lib/libmkl_tbb_thread.dylib)

When I try to run the app from the dist folder, I see the below in terminal

Thank you that worked but It looks like there is a chrome dependency as I'm getting the below without Chrome install. Could you please advise how to package chrome into the app so it doesn't look for the OS to have chrome installed. Sorry I'm not familiar with this. I appreciate your help.

$ python3 web.py

Chrome/Chromium doesn't get packaged as part of the app - as it stands, this project requires the end-user to have it already available.

I love the simplicity of eel, but I can't get it running with pyupdater (after using the hidden-module flag):

pyupdater is wrapping up pyinstaller. But I'm not that experienced with Python to fully understand the changes made to the original pyupdater through Eel and so bringing the ends of Eel and pyupdater together. It would be a great benefit if self updates over pyupdater where possible. Maybe an adaption of the main.py script for pyupdater is possible?

To those who are still facing this issue.
A probably not optimal way to fix it is to import bottle?websocket in your main file.
so do something like:
import eel
import bottle_websocket

eel.init('web')
eel.start('main.html')

When building for one file in windows with pyinstaller you need to add argument '--hidden-import eel' - this solution is working for me
