For some reason pyinstaller insists on picking poetry's vendorized version of jsonschema even though I'm removing poetry's entire _vendor directory out of the search path.
I've added the following snippet at the top of my .spec file to remove references to poetry's vendorized versions of some libraries: search_path = [] for path in sys.path: path = str(pathlib.Path(path).resolve()) if 'poetry\\core\\_vendor' not in path: search_path.append(path) sys.path = search_path os.environ["PYTHONPATH"] = os.pathsep.join(sys.path) Later on I print out the path values as well as the directories of the environments and as you can see there's no reference to poetry\core\_vendor: sys.path= ['C:\\Users\\heuri\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\Scripts\\pyinstaller.exe', 'C:\\Users\\heuri\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\python38.zip', 'C:\\Users\\heuri\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\DLLs', 'C:\\Users\\heuri\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\Lib', 'C:\\Users\\heuri\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38', 'C:\\Users\\heuri\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\Lib\\site-packages'] PYTHONPATH= C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\pyinstaller.exe;C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python38.zip;C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\DLLs;C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib;C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38;C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages launcher's site-packages= C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\REDACTED-launcher-MKijLxw9-py3.8\Lib\site-packages dashboard's site-packages= C:\Users\heuri\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\REDACTED-Mh8E0adn-py3.8\Lib\site-packages Yet pyinstaller keeps picking _vendor\jsonschema at COLLECT and fails: Security-Alert: try to store file outside of dist-directory. Aborting. 'c:\\users\\heuri\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python38\\lib\\site-packages\\poetry\\core\\_vendor\\jsonschema\\benchmarks\\__pycache__\\json_schema_test_suite.cpython-38.pyc' I've added regular and pre_find_module_path (to filter out poetry paths) hooks for jsonschema but they didn't change a thing.
