Pyinstaller doesn't recognize docx2pdf library

my issue is that i've been trying to make an exe file with a .py that I created, but it doesn't work. I executed the converted .exe file from the console to see the log and I got this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "professors.py", line 10, in <module>
File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 531, in exec_module
File "docx2pdf\__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
File "importlib\metadata.py", line 551, in version
File "importlib\metadata.py", line 524, in distribution
File "importlib\metadata.py", line 187, in from_name
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: docx2pdf
[6940] Failed to execute script professors
I've been reading about the issue and it seems that pyinstaller doesn't recognize the docx2pdf import. I read in a website that I have to add it in a folder called site-packages, but it is supposed to have another folder inside called pyInstaller, which is not there. I also tried adding the folder manually but it still didn't work. I also tried with the --hidden-imports method but im not sure how to exactly use it.
I will have to apply this to other imports that I have also.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I had a identical issue. I removed lines 7-13 from the docx2pdf module:
try:
# 3.8+
from importlib.metadata import version
except ImportError:
from importlib_metadata import version
__version__ = version(__package__)
and line 119...
print(__version__)
After that, it worked. Modifying the module probably isn't the best solution, and of course I'd recommend backing up the module before modifying it, but I hope it works for you too.

Error running executable compiled with py2exe

I'm trying use py2exe to compile an eye tracking experiment written in Python 2.7 (32-bit). The experiment uses the psychopy library. I wrote the experiment using the PyCharm IDE, and the experiment runs when I run it through the PyCharm IDE, using an interpreter in a virtual environment located at C:\Users\phil\Python_2.7_32-bit.
The experiment compiles without generating any errors when I enter the following command into the command prompt: C:\Users\phil\Python_2.7_32-bit\Scripts\python.exe C:\Users\phil\PycharmProjects\iTRAC\VisSearch\setup.py py2exe.
When I run the executable generated by the above py2exe command, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "VisualSearch.py", line 3, in <module>
File "psychopy\__init__.pyc", line 39, in <module>

File "psychopy\preferences\preferences.pyc", line 146, in loadAppData
File "psychopy\preferences\configobj.pyc", line 583, in __getitem__
KeyError: 'builder'
My setup.py script is as follows:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(windows =['C:\Users\phil\PycharmProjects\iTRAC\VisSearch\VisualSearch.py'])
I've also tried using the following setup.py script with the same results:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(windows = [{'script':'C:\Users\phil\PycharmProjects\iTRAC\VisSearch\VisualSearch.py',
'options' : {'py2exe':{'includes':['psychopy'],
'compressed': True,
'bundle_files': 1,}}}])
I googled the error and came up with 0 results.
Can anybody tell me why I am running into this error?

This is probably a missing config/prefs file. PsychoPy uses the configobj library to read and validate preferences but my guess is that py2exe is only automatically packaging py/pyc files and needs to include the .spec files in the psychopy/preferences folder.

No module named weight_vector in sci with py2exe in windows

I get the following error message using Python v2.7.5 and scipy v0.12.0 with py2exe v0.6.9 on a 32 bit machine using 32 bit versions of the packages from Christoph Gohlke. If anyone can provide relevant and useful suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named weight_vector
This is my setup.py file:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
sys.path.append('../')
dcm = 'dcm.testDCM'
svm_path = 'svm.svm'
setup(windows=[{"script":"MainWindow.py"}],
options={"py2exe":{
"includes" : ["sip", dcm, svm_path,
'sklearn',
'scipy.sparse.csgraph._validation',
'sklearn.linear_model.sgd_fast.weight_vector']}})
Actually, I have solved the problem in this question scipy with py2exe problesm and solved it using the second answer in that question (the answer), adding the "scipy.sparse.csgraph._validation" in my includes options for the py2exe.
Then I want to do the similar thing for the error "No module named weight_vector", say, adding the "sklearn.linear_model.sgd_fast.weight_vector" in my includes options. However, it didn't work.
I check the directory "sklearn.linear_model.sgd_fast" only to find that the sgd_fast is a ".pyd" file rather than a .py file. Maybe this is why my methods cannot work.
I didn't get any idea about dealing with the pyd file. Have anybody met the similar problems or got any ideas? I really need your help.

Py2Exe Error: Win32com.client causes errors when trying to run created executable

My script that I'm trying to create into an executable contains the following imports:
import csv, time, BeautifulSoup, sys, mechanize, os, traceback, win32com.client as win32
My setup.py looks like this:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}},
console = [{'script': "tool.py"}],
zipfile = None,
)
The .exe of my program is created successfully, however when I try to run it I receive the following errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tool.py", line 1, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 82, in load_module
File "win32com\__init__.pyc", line 5, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 98, in load_module
ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading win32api.pyd
Surprisingly, it compiles into an .exe fine if I use bundle_files: = 3 however I need this program to be in one executable, not multiple files. I've read this from the py2exe website but I'm not sure if that's what I need to do/use. If that is the answer I'm looking for, I don't know how to use that or what to do with it. Please explain.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

This was solved by upgrading to Python 2.7. I originally had Python 2.6 installed but the update solved this issue.

py2exe + pywin32 MemoryLoadLibrary import fail when bundle_files=1

I have created a simple program which uses pywin32. I want to deploy it as an executable, so I py2exe'd it. I also didn't want a huge amount of files, so I set bundle_files to 1 (meaning bundle everything together). However, when I attempt running it, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pshelper.py", line 4, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 82, in load_module
File "win32.pyc", line 8, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 98, in load_module
ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading win32ui.pyd
In my setup script, I tried doing packages=["win32ui"] and includes=["win32ui"] as options, but that didn't help. How can I get py2exe to include win32ui.pyd?
I don't have this problem if I don't ask it to bundle the files, so I can do that, for now, but I'd like to know how to get it to work properly.

Are you sure that the problem is that win32ui.pyd is not included? The stack trace isn't exactly the same as noted in the wiki, but check this out: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndWin32ui.

The work-around that has worked best so far is to simply re-implement the pywin32 functions using ctypes. That doesn't require another .pyd or .dll file so the issue is obviated.

Do care to try out PyInstaller? I've used it both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 and it worked like magic, even when I compiled to .pyd on Windows.
I've been able to bundle all sorts of applications that I've developed with it.

I have the same problem trying to bundle psutil with py2exe. Here is what I found so far.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wx_gui.py", line 43, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 82, in load_module
File "psutil\__init__.pyc", line 85, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 82, in load_module
File "psutil\_psmswindows.pyc", line 15, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 98, in load_module
ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading _psutil_mswindows.pyd
I get this traceback when bundle_files = 3. zipfile may be specified or may be None, I still get the problem.
First, I thought this was a missing dll because of this page:
http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/ProblemsToBeFixed
I've copied all the dlls I found in Python27 into the same directory as the executable and added that directory path to os.environ['path']. That didn't worked.
Then I tried to import my package directly from site-packages.
I've replaced the whole sys.path of my compiled executable with my normal sys.path
sys.path = [r'C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib', ...]
I think the .pyd module got imported but Visual c++ threw me this really ugly error message:
Runtime Error!
Program: {path}.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I suggest you try to replace the whole sys.path to see if it is working. If it is, you could always make your single executable write the necessary module into a temp directory and add it to your path. If not, I feel like this problem is going to be hard to solve.
