Problem Creating One File exe with pyinstaller and pysqlcipher

I'm trying to create a one file .exe to run on any windows machine but I've hit a problem with pysqlcipher. I've gone back to some basic code that just creates a simple database with a key, on my dev machine all works fine whether I use the python file or the compiled exe. I seem to be missing a library, path or both? I've tried adding vaious items using --add-data but have spent hours and made no progress. Here is the basic bit of python:-
from pysqlcipher3 import dbapi2 as sqlite
import os
import sys
def resource_path(relative_path):
""" Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
try:
base_path = sys._MEIPASS
except Exception:
base_path = os.path.abspath(".")
return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)
conn = sqlite.connect('test.db')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("PRAGMA key='password'")
c.execute('''create table stocks (date text, trans text, symbol text, qty real, price real)''')
c.execute("""insert into stocks values ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)""")
conn.commit()
c.close()
When I run the exe on a different windows 10 PC I get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testdb.py", line 1, in
File "c:\users\xxx\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 623, in exec_module
File "site-packages\pysqlcipher3-1.0.3-py3.8-win-amd64.egg\pysqlcipher3\dbapi2.py", line 33, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysqlcipher3._sqlite3'
[9248] Failed to execute script testdb
The error references the path on my dev PC and also refers to line 33 in dbapi2.py which is:-
from pysqlcipher3._sqlite3 import *
I have tried adding various files when running pyinstaller but I am making no progress, I'm sure its nothing simple but need help please.

I encountered a similar problem a while back and one thing that worked for me is adding the sqlite3 dll in the spec file of pyinstaller. It is also possible to add it from command line. I had tried many other things before such as re-creating a conda environment and rebuilding my python package but that did not work. In your spec file where you add the pyinstaller binaries please try something like.
binaries=[('C:\\Users\\myname\\newfolder\\sqlite3.dll','.')]
You can download the DLL from https://www.sqlite.org/download.html depending on windows or linux platform . Once you add the dll and recompile it should be fine. I think this error is primarily happening as dbapi2 requests the sqlite3 dll which in my case atlease was missing from the DLL folder. I just downloaded and added it in my spec file, but you can also try to add it to the hookspath or ENV folder.

pyodbc is present in showing "No module name pyodbc"

I am trying to connect my python code to sql server. But there is an error which shows:
import pyodbc
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyodbc'
import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={SQL Server};"
"Server=localhost;"
"Database=SCMS2;"
"uid=sa;pwd=tazbirul94")
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM Suppliers')
for row in cursor:
print('row = %r' % (row,))
Here is the pip freeze command:
This shows my odbc is present:
Here is the error
Here is my pycharm environment path

The pycharm is using a python from a .../venv/... folder while what you type in the cmd does not. Make sure to use the same python version for both.
One way would be to go to:
File->Settings->Project->Project Interpreter and change to the python that you have installed the module for

AWS Lambda python library function error

I'm trying to connect to AWS RDS using AWS Lambda. I installed PyMySQL to the directory and built the package with the code below and the libraries
import sys
import pymysql
def lambda_handler(event, context):
string=""
try:
connection = pymysql.connect(host='',
user='',
password='',
db='',
charset='',
cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)
cur = connection.cursor(pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)
cur.execute("select * from table")
for row in cur:
print(row['col'])
string+=row['col']
except Exception as e:
print("MySQL error: %s" % (e.args[0]))
return string
print(lambda_handler("",""))
In my machine, the code above works, but in AWS, it displays
MySQL error: module 'pymysql' has no attribute 'connect'
I checked that pymysql is only available in the directory that has the code, so I don't know why I'm not able to use the connect method.
Both Python versions are the same.
EDIT:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/task/lambda.py", line 7, in lambda_handler
connection = pymysql.connect(host='',
AttributeError: module 'pymysql' has no attribute 'connect'

Try zip -r package.zip *
I suspect you are zipping only the top level of the pymysql module, not the contents of its subdirectories
The AWS documentation for uploading to lambda is pretty poor.

First create a directory in your local machine eg: "package-dir"
Now install pymlsql to your created directory path "pip install pymlsql -t path/to/package-dir"
Paste you python script to the same dirctory
Select all the items inside the directory and create a zip file. Do not zip the directory itself this is very important
Upload the zip file in lambda and it should work
Also see that the handler name is "python_script_name.lambda_handler".
Eg: if your script file name is "lambda_function.py" then your handler should be "lambda_function.lambda_handler"

Twittersearch module is not getting imported to api file

I am trying to make twitter search api everything was working fine but suddenly twittersearch() module is not getting imported. I am using python 3.4.2 with windows 8.1 64-bit. I have tried easy_install twittersearch it successfully installs packages and everything is fine but when I run this code
from TwitterSearch import *
import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(driver='{SQL Server}', server='localhost', database='capstone',trusted_connection='yes')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute("select word from dbo.search where sl in (select max(sl) from dbo.search)")
for row in cursor.fetchall():
print (row)
print("This is positive data ")
term = row[0]
try:
tso=TwitterSearchOrder()
tso.set_keywords([term])
tso.set_language('en')
When i execute this it shows errors like below
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python34\search_test.py", line 18, in <module>
tso=TwitterSearchOrder()
NameError: name 'TwitterSearchOrder' is not defined
But it is actually there I don't know why it is not recognizing the module. till 2 days back it was running successfully with IDLE but not in commandprompt and I have reinstalled the python and added all tools, now it is showing this error in both IDLE and command prompt
TIA

Make sure that TwitterSearch is in your lib\site-packages path. If it is you must've installed it right. If not, a simple python -m pip install TwitterSearch from command prompt will do.
However, there seems to be an issue(bug) with TwitterSearch wrt its functions. You might consider using an alternate API in the meantime. I would suggest using Tweepy

Python cannot load cx_Oracle on Windows 7

I installed python-2.7.amd64.msi and cx_Oracle-5.1.2-11g.win-amd64-py2.7.msi.
I've poked around a lot with PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variables but nothing has helped loading the cx_Oracle module. Currently PYTHONPATH is set to
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
My exceedingly basic program is
import sys
print sys.path
import cx_Oracle
conn_str = u'xxx/xxx#server/XXX'
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(conn_str)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute(u'select * from table')
conn.close()
The program output is:
['C:\\Users\\terry\\IdeaProjects\\PythonScripts', 'C:\\Python27\\Lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "OracleTest.py", line 4, in <module>
import cx_Oracle
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I have also added the Registry entries as detailed here
This works fine on Linux so it seems I have something wrong with the windows setup. But I've pretty much run out of ideas.

This problem turned out (I think) to be that I had not set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable in Windows. This must point to your Oracle instantclient directory e.g. ORACLE_HOME=C:\instantclient_11_2
The "I think" part of the story is that even after setting that it did not help. I uninstalled cx_Oracle and reinstalled it from scratch. This time I also used the cx_Oracle.EXE from the python web site NOT the cx_Oracle.MSI file from sourceforge. In theory they would do the same thing. But in theory it wouldn't have taken me over a day to get the environment set up.
