PyInstaller failing to build exe — cannot find pyproj.libs

I’ve tried adding ‘pyproj.libs’ to hiddenimports but that didn’t change anything. Not sure what to do…

Add the pyproj lib directory to your data files.

For example, in your spec file:

a = Analysis(
    ['myscript.py'],
    pathex=[],
    binaries=...,
    datas=[('...\Lib\site-packages\pyproj.libs','pyproj.libs')],
    hiddenimports=['pyproj', ...],
    hookspath=[],
    hooksconfig={},
    runtime_hooks=[],
    excludes=['...'],
    win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
    win_private_assemblies=False,
    cipher=block_cipher,
    noarchive=False,
)

The reason this happens is the bundling tools (pyinstaller, cxfreeze, py2exe) aren’t aware of pyproj.libs, because they only contain dynamic libraries (e.g. .dll files):

    Directory: C:UsersuserAppDataLocalpypoetryCachevirtualenvstest-gdal-onnx-Opor2TD1-py3.10l 
    ibsite-packagespyproj.libs

PeaceLeka’s answer is good for PyInstaller. For cxfreeze, use:

site_packages = "C:/Users/sleet/AppData/Local/pypoetry/Cache/virtualenvs/test-gdal-onnx-Opor2TD1-py3.10/lib/site-packages"
pyproj_path = f"{site_packages}/pyproj.libs"

build_options = {
    "include_files": [(pyproj_path, "lib/pyproj.libs")]
}

executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable(script = "main.py", base = "Win32GUI")]
cx_Freeze.setup(
    name= "Test pyproj",
    options = dict(build_exe=build_options),
    version = "0.1",
    description = "Test pyproj",
    executables = executables,
    # include_msvcr = True
)
