Py2app: A main script could not be located in the Resources folder

I am building a GUI tkinter python3 application and attempting to compile it with py2app. For some reason when I try to launch the .app bundle in the dist folder it gives me this error:
A main script could not be located in the Resources folder
I was wondering why it is doing this, as it is rather frustrating, and I can not find anything about it anywhere. I copied my .py file into the resources folder (Networking.py). Previous to this error I also found an error in the Info.plist. In the key where it states the runtime executable, I found it was trying to get python2.7, which I have updated and am no longer using. I changed it to my current version, which the path for looks like this:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/Python
It may be worth noting that it had a strange path previously, which did not look like a proper path to me. It was #executable_path/../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/PythonI removed this completely... Was this wrong? I have no idea about anything about XML, which is what it seemed to be...
Also when compiling this happened:
error: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/Ember/dist/Networking.app/Contents/MacOS/Networking'
Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!
EDIT
I actually figured out: a bit of a stupid mistake, but since I'm using python 3.x I have to type in python3 before doing it.

In your "setup.py" file that you used to create the application, did you remember to list all the modules used in your code. For example, if you used the OS and Glob modules, then you would add this to your setup.py next to "OPTIONS":
OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True, 'includes':['glob', 'os']}
Basically, anything that you import into your module, you should include in the setup.py. Let me know if that works.

I actually figured out: a bit of a stupid mistake, but since I'm using python 3.x I have to type in python3 before doing it.

I had the same problem.
python setup.py py2app
I tried
python3 setup.py py2app
and it worked just fine. Hope this helps.

Python 3.3.5 time module missing

When I try to import time I get : No module named time
I have tried other time modules(datetime and timeit) and they work fine. I decided to check my installation and I can't find time.py anywhere. I checked the Lib, Scripts, libs and include folders, but can't find it anywhere.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this? Maybe download the .py and put it in Lib myself?
I am using Python 3.3.5 with PyCharm IDE. Only extra scripts I've installed is EasyInstall and PRAW.

The import does work. When PyCharm said No module named time, I assumed I would get a compiler error and started trying to fix it.
However when I eventually just ran the code it worked fine. I expect PyCharm doesn't detect the time module as it's a dll and not a py as noted by Martijn in the comments. This is on PyCharm Community Edition 4.0.4.

I tried playing with virtualenv and a host of other things, but I eventually went to Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Console -> Python Console, and in the "starting script" box, I added two lines:
sys.builtin_module_names.append('sys')
sys.builtin_module_names.append('time')
This got rid of errors I had with both sys and time. Once I did that, I even get autocomplete for both of those modules... weird.

Why doesn't import work for me? - Python

Whenever I try to import a file into python, it comes up with this error(or similar):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python33/My Files/username save.py", line 1, in <module>
import keyring.py
ImportError: No module named 'keyring'
I am trying to create a password storing program, and I was looking up for good ways to keep passwords secure, and someone said use import keyring, so I did, except, it never works. I must be doing something wrong, but whenever I look anything up for python, it never works out for me. It's almost as if loads have things have been changed over the years.
and idea's?

The keyring module is not part of the Python standard library. You need to install it first. Installation instructions are included.
Once installed, use import keyring, not import keyring.py; the latter means import the py module from the keyring package. Python imports should use just the name of the module, so not the filename with extension. Python can import code from more than just .py python files.

I was getting the same error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keyring'". And after installing this module pip install keyring, the same error occured with another module name. Then I came to the conclusion that it is the fact that the VSCode is not able to connect to my venv, even after setting the Python Itereptor. Press CTRL + SHIFT + P, and then type Python: Select Interceptor, and select your venv, if you want to set this.
To fix the issue, I had to force the VSCode to use the .venv I created, and luckily there is a dropdown to do that, on the top right corner as in the preceeding image. Click ont the Python version, and then you will be able to select your virtual environment.
Now it will take the modules from your virtual environment.

Python Throws ImportError: No module named..." Error

I'm trying to install the Chilkat library for Python in order to use its encryption functionality, but being new to Python in every possible way, I'm getting stuck entirely too early. I've installed the library as instructed by the docs and verified that the files are in the "right place" (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/) on my Ubuntu 12.04 server.
I've also downloaded the test script. When I try to run it, however:
ImportError: No module named chilkat
I know this is stupid basic, but here I am. In the docs they do mention a possible issue with sys.prefix. That (presumably default, since I've never touched it) value on my machine is /usr. I moved everything there, but still get the same error.
Help? Where is the most "pythonic" place to put these files and how can I get Python to recognize them universally?
Thanks.

For anyone searching, I just ended up adding site-packages to my sys.path by adding a .pth file to dist-packages which was already in my path.
echo "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages" > /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/site-packages.pth

Trouble importing Python modules on Ninja IDE

I have been trying to import modules into Ninja IDE for python. These are modules that I have working on the terminal (numpy, scipy, scitools, matplotlib, and mpl_toolkits), but will not run correctly in Ninja.
First I was only getting the message No module named ____. I checked sys.path and found that the path was within the application
/Applications/Ninja IDE.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7 was a typical path. I tried changing the path,but it doesn't seem to do anything to sys.path even after restarting the ide.
But I wanted the path to refer to where the modules are stored (which is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages). I was able to get numpy and scipy to work as well as parts of mpl_toolkits by adding the contents of my path to the folders that sys.path gave. However, I still can't get fully functioning modules within the ninja ide interpreter. I'll give some examples below of what happens when I import certain modules.
import matplotlib.pyplot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Applications/Ninja IDE.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 106, in <module>
ImportError: No module named sysconfig
import mpl_toolkits
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Applications/Ninja IDE.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
File "/Applications/Ninja IDE.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/axes3d.py", line 14, in <module>
File "/Applications/Ninja IDE.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 106, in <module>
ImportError: No module named sysconfig
Thanks for the help. I apologize, I am very new to programming, but I did put in about a day and a half of research before posting here.

That's strange as the sysconfig module is a part of Python 2.7 standard library.
Are you sure that Ninja is using the right Python version? Try running:
import sys
print sys.version_info
from Ninja, to see which Python version it is actually using.

I know this question is a few months old, but I wanted to post my solution in case others find it useful. I had a very similar problem, and had a lot of trouble finding a quick workable solution anywhere.
My somewhat roundabout solution was to simply create a virtualenv folder with the version of numpy I wanted, and then pointed the "virtualenv" property for NinjaIDE project to that folder. I restarted NinjaIDE and boom, instantly worked.
To set the virtualenv property for your project via the GUI, go to the Project menu:
Project > Open Project Properties > Project Execution,
and you should see a variable called "Virtualenv Folder". Point that to the folder for your virtualenv, and it should work. (May need to restart NinjaIDE.) This worked for me, NinjaIDE version 2.2 under Ubuntu 12.04.
One quick note: I actually didn't use virtualenv exactly -- I had to use a "conda env," since I am using the Anaconda distribution, and apparently it is not well-tested with virtualenv yet. (I actually got a warning when I went to easy_install virtualenv. Hadn't seen that before.)
Either way, this stackoverflow question has some nice pointers to virtualenv tutorials: Comprehensive beginner's virtualenv tutorial?
Good luck!

I was having a similar problem trying to import a module from /home/paul/lib/python using the console of the Ninja-IDE. I found out that /home/paul/lib/python didn't appear in syspath when checking in the console of the Ninja-IDE. But it did in the terminal!
By starting the Ninja-IDE from the terminal, /home/paul/lib/python was in syspath when checking in the console of the Ninja-IDE. I was now able to import the module I needed.
I hope this might be of some help. If not to ebris1 than maybe to others.
