Hi all, I have a fairly simple script that uses anyascii (https://pypi.org/project/anyascii/) and works fine when run in a development environment.
However, when built into an executable with PyInstaller, I start seeing problems. First, an exception was thrown saying the module 'anyascii._data' couldn't be found. Looking in the installation, there is a subfolder of this name which appears to hold the datafiles used to do the Unicode to ascii transliteration. Adding from anyascii import _data to my script got rid of the exception, but anyascii still doesn't work -- it replaces the Unicode characters with nothing instead of the desired substitutions, that is, it still can't seem to find its datafiles! So I have tried to add lots of variations of the following to my command line: --add-data "[path to Python installation]\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\anyascii\_data\*;anyascii._data" ...but still no luck! Any advice about how to incorporate these datafiles so anyascii can find them? Googling, of course, has yielded nothing. :( I'm also building with --debug=imports, but the output hasn't yielded anything helpful either. Any advice about how to correctly incorporate these datafiles into my executable? Thanks! Julie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
