Error with script saved as single file by Pyinstaller

I saved python script in single executable file with Pyinstaller, but when I tried to run it in console ./dist/myscript/myscript it raise AttributeError error with log below.

As you see I'm using facebook's Prophet library to forecast time series data and all done in docker the container.

Pyinstaller missing SqlAlchemy dlls

I am using Pyinstaller to compile Python to a standalone executable. The sourcecode includes modules PySide and SqlAlchemy. The dist .exe that PyInstaller creates runs OK, but when I run commands that access the database I get this error code in the command prompt:

ImportError: Could not resolve module sqlalchemy.sql.default_comparator
While compiling, the command prompt output a few warnings about not being able to find "hidden DLLs" relating to sql alchemy. It said it was removing sqlalchemy/test files in response. Any help here would be deeply appreciated.

i had a same issue earlier.. resolves this problem by importing sqlalchemy.sql.default_comparator on my main program..

As #fredpi says you can add the module to the hiddenimports parameter of the Analysis initializer in the .spec file of the python file your trying to compile. Like so: hiddenimports=['sqlalchemy.sql.default_comparator']
Make sure you pass the .spec file when you run pyinstaller, or it will overwrite the .spec file and your changes will be lost. For example: pyinstaller --onefile myscript.spec

AssertionError when using py2exe

I am fairly new to Python and I need some help with an error message I am receiving. I am trying to make an exe file from a tkinter script with the help of py2exe, but I keep getting an AssertionError whenever I try to run the setup.py script. I have already created an exe file on my computer only a couple of days ago out of the same script without using tkinter. Creating this exe file was no problem. I am wondering if the error message occurs due to the fact that I have already created an exe file recently.
My setup.py script looks normal:
`# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=['MyScript.py'])`
Whenever I run it, I get this error:
AssertionError: distutils has already been patched by <class 'py2exe.patch_distutils.patch_distutils.<locals>.Distribution'>
The entire traceback looks like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anyone know a workaround to this problem? I am working in Python3.4.1.
Thank you so much for helping!

Try importing setuptools before you import py2exe.
It worked for me.

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable using cx_freeze

I've frozen my app with cx_Freeze and when running the .exe I get this error (only error):
C:\Python34\build\exe.win32-3.4>run.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console.py", line 27

File "run.py", line 18, in <module>
File "C:\Python34\Socket.py", line 5, in openSocket
s = socket.socket()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
If I run my app in Python then it works perfectly fine.I have done import socket in both the main python file (run.py) and the one mentioned in the error above (Socket.py)
How do I fix this?

Try renaming your "Socket.py" file to something else ("socket_maker.py"). Then delete all *.pyc files from the current directory (especially anything called socket.pyc).
I'm thinking that the module name you are trying to import is conflicting with the object and function names.

AWS-CLI throwing unexpected Python based 'Session' error

I have been using AWS CLI on Ubuntu for a month. But today AWS CLI is throwing a python error, I haven't seen before:

I have tried purging AWS CLI and removing all package files and re-installing, but error persists. Plz help!! Thanks.

Probably you have upgraded your virtualenv/setuptools and now your utility is screwed up. It happened to me with a wrongly set Chef that upgraded those two packages and, after that, the utility stopped working.
