I use Pyinstaller to freeze my script into a Unix file, and execute the Unix file. Installation of the certificate fails.

Problem Description

I want to freeze my custom mitmproxy service into a Unix file for others to use. When I typed mitm.it in the browser of an Android device to install the certificate, the following problem occurred:

--- Logging error ---

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

This is my script mitm_async.py

class MetaHttp:
    pass

def main():
    myaddon = MetaHttp()
    # prot = sys.argv[1]
    prot = '8888'
    opts = options.Options(listen_port=int(prot))
    pconf = proxy.config.ProxyConfig(opts)
    m = dump.DumpMaster(opts)
    m.server = proxy.server.ProxyServer(pconf)
    m.addons.add(myaddon)

    try:
        m.run()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        m.shutdown()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

This is my freeze command:

pyi-makespec -F --name mitm mitm_async.py

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. freeze the script
2. Execute Unix file
3. Android device connection proxy
4. Device browser input: mitm.it

System Information

Paste the output of "mitmproxy --version" here.

Mitmproxy: 6.0.2
Python: 3.8.0
OpenSSL: OpenSSL 1.1.1i 8 Dec 2020
Platform: macOS-10.15.7-x86_64-i386-64bit

It looks like I didn't pack the static files in when I freeze the program, and I executed the script without error.

We have a few special PyInstaller hooks at https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/tree/main/release/hooks. I'm happy to merge a PR where someone integrates them properly, but it's not a priority for us.

Repackaging mitmproxy is nothing we really intend to support, so I'm closing this here.
