[PyInstaller] running pyinstaller from python

[Coyot Linden (Glenn Glazer)]

So, we build our products from automated build scripts that are run within the TeamCity framework.  I am trying to get this to work for the first time with pyinstaller and I'm a bit mystified by the (lack of) output. The relevant part of the build output looks like this (the number at the beginning of each line is a timestamp, print output is in bold): 1.93 build-cmd.py(129):                 print "pyinstaller exists: %s" % os.path.exists(pyinstaller_exe[0]) pyinstaller exists: True 1.93 build-cmd.py(130):                 print "target exists: %s" % os.path.exists(target[0]) target exists: True 1.93 build-cmd.py(131):                 print "about to call %s " % (pyinstaller_exe + args + target) about to call ['C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\pyinstaller.exe', '-y', '-w', '--clean', '--onefile', '--log-level ', 'DEBUG', '-p ', 'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP', '--distpath ', 'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP', 'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP\\apply_update.py'] 1.93 build-cmd.py(132):                 subprocess.check_call(pyinstaller_exe + args + target) 2.33 build-cmd.py(133):             except Exception as e: 2.33 build-cmd.py(134):                 print "Pyinstaller failed" Pyinstaller failed 2.33 build-cmd.py(135):                 print repr(e) CalledProcessError() 2.33 build-cmd.py(136):                 try: 2.33 build-cmd.py(137):                     print "returncode: %s" % e.returncode returncode: 2 2.33 build-cmd.py(138):                     print "command: %s" % e.cmd command: ['C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\pyinstaller.exe', '-y', '-w', '--clean', '--onefile', '--log-level ', 'DEBUG', '-p ', 'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP', '--distpath ', 'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP', 'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP\\apply_update.py'] 2.33 build-cmd.py(139):                     print "output: %s" % e.output output: None 2.33 build-cmd.py(142):                 sys.exit(1) Which as you can see has no output.  Running the equivalent command by hand works just fine: C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\pyinstaller.exe -y -w --clean --onefile --log-level DEBUG -p C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP --distpath C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP\\apply_update.py which has lots of nice output ending with: 9115 INFO: Appending archive to EXE C:\\cygwin64\\home\\coyot\\hg\\viewer\\vmp-standalone\\stage\\VMP\apply_update.exe and indeed the file exists: 01/31/2017  11:59 AM         6,785,597 apply_update.exe So my questions two are: 1) Any idea on how to coax more information into CalledProcessError to see what is going on? 2) More directly, what is failing here?
