pycparser.ply.yacc.YaccError: Unable to build parser

How to fix it?
The error draws me crazy because pycparser is installed as PyMySQL dependency (or maybe as cffi 1.11.5) dependency) and it blocks me to create new version of my app...

It's a known issue. Pycparser doesn't work with optimized (-O) Python builds that strip out docstrings.

zdenop · 2018-11-17T08:44:39Z

Thanks for quick reply. Can I fix it somehow locally?

eliben · 2019-08-26T22:13:38Z

No, sorry. The user of pycparser (the library importing it, in this case) should fix this by not permitting -O mode builds

kk-hiraskar · 2019-09-24T16:10:39Z

Downgrade pycparser to 2.14, this should solve the issue.

pip uninstall pycparser
pip install pycparser==2.14

eliben/pycparser#291

* Use `set -ex` in tools/travis-before-install.sh. * Install build dependencies in tools/travis-before-install.sh. * Update a comment about an additional option in CFLAGS when USE_DEBUG=1. * Clear PYTHONOPTIMIZE when running `pip install -r test_requirements.txt` because version 2.19 of pycparser (a dependency of one of the packages in test_requirements.txt) does not provide a wheel, and the source tar file does not install correctly when Python's optimization level is set to strip docstrings (see eliben/pycparser#291). * Remove unnecessary calls of `pip install` in tools/travis-test.sh. Closes numpygh-15108.

Use older pycparser 2.14 to avoid the error: ERROR: start symbol translation_unit_or_empty undefined pycparser, a Windows only indirect dependency of PyInstaller, is incompatible with Python's "discard docstrings" (-OO) flag mode. For more information see: pyinstaller/pyinstaller#6345 Reference: "ERROR: start symbol translation_unit_or_empty undefined" eliben/pycparser#291

Is there a way, how to instruct pyinstaller to not use some package (cffi) during freezing? pyinstaller/pyinstaller#4435
