setuptools 45.0.0 may cause PyInstaller 3.3 packaged executable fail to launch

see: setuptools 45.0.0 may cause PyInstaller 3.3 packaged executable fail to launch · Issue #1963 · pypa/setuptools

Fixed by adding a hidden import:

a = Analysis(...,
            hiddenimports=['pkg_resources.py2_warn'],
            ...)

INTERNAL ERROR: cannot create temporary directory!

maybe the problem of pyinstaller under wine...

PyInstaller 3.6 breaks WINE compatibility when using onefile · Issue #4628 · pyinstaller/pyinstaller

Just downgrade to pyinstaller 3.5 anything works fine, no matter on Wine or on Windows.

How do you resolve 'hidden imports not found!' warnings in pyinstaller for scipy?

python - How do you resolve 'hidden imports not found!' warnings in pyinstaller for scipy? - Stack Overflow

You need to go into the hook-scipy.py (or create one) and have it look like this:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files
hiddenimports = collect_submodules('scipy')

datas = collect_data_files('scipy')

then go into the hook-sklearn.metrics.cluster.py file and modify it to look like this:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files

hiddenimports = ['sklearn.utils.sparsetools._graph_validation',
                 'sklearn.utils.sparsetools._graph_tools',
                 'sklearn.utils.lgamma',
                 'sklearn.utils.weight_vector']

datas = collect_data_files('sklearn')

you can specify hooks file dir used in --additional-hooks-dir in the spec file's hookspath -- allenyllee

Gooey

Required arguments shown as optional

Required arguments shown as optional · Issue #447 · chriskiehl/Gooey

Here is code to reproduce:

from gooey import Gooey, GooeyParser
@Gooey
def main():
    p=GooeyParser()
    p.add_argument('-s',required=True, widget='FileChooser')
    p.add_argument('-l',widget='DirChooser')
    p.parse_args()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

It still exists on 1.0.3-release as well.

However, note that the arguments are not treated as optional; it's only the title "optional argument" which bothers you.

As a workaround, you can create a single argument_group (optionally name it.)

like this:

from gooey import Gooey, GooeyParser
@Gooey
def main():
    p=GooeyParser()
    g=p.add_argument_group()
    g.add_argument('-s',required=True, widget='FileChooser')
    g.add_argument('-l',widget='DirChooser')
    p.parse_args()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Docker setup

How to activate a Conda environment in your Dockerfile

see: Activating a Conda environment in your Dockerfile

The solution I use is to add

# Make RUN commands use the new environment:
SHELL ["conda", "run", "-n", "myenv", "/bin/bash", "-c"]

after conda create and before any conda install

and at the end of dockerfile, add

# Initialize conda in bash config fiiles:
RUN conda init bash
RUN echo "conda activate DataTag_helper" >> ~/.bashrc

this will setup automatic conda activate myenv every time when you have login shell.
