Re: [PyInstaller] Pygame and PyInstaller
Thank you, it was most helpful. Unfortunately, the linked issue is closed and doesn't seem to have as much connection to the problem as I'd like (or an open issue on the PyInstaller tracker itself). I'm wondering if this will be "fixed", in any way, or if we should live with it. In my case, the reason why pkg_resources is needed is to load fonts (a .tif file if I'm not mistaken) so pygame cannot find it and PyInstaller probably doesn't. But perhaps there's a way around it, to include the .tif file somewhere else in a data file... I'll look into that. In any case, thank you for the answer, I have a better idea of what's going on.

Re: [PyInstaller] Pygame and PyInstaller
Okay, here's my temporary fix: 1. Add a default font file in your game. My choice is the 'freesansbold.ttf' as this one does seem standard and is included in Pygame (you'll find it in its source code, if nothing else, or site-packages/pygame/freesansbold.ttf). 2. Add a few line before creating the font. import sys if getattr(sys, "frozen"): # FROZEN executable font_family = "./freesansbold.ttf" # Hard-code a local path else: font_family = pygame.font.match_font(font_family) self.font_object = pygame.font.Font(font_family, font_size) So we give it the local filename if the executable is frozen. Copy the freesansbold.ttf next to the final executable and try it. It should work. Wrap the data file is you like to do so, it all should work. This is, however, a temporary fix, it would be great to have pkg_resources working, but one step at a time.

[PyInstaller] Pygame and PyInstaller
Hello, I'm a new user of PyInstaller and appreciate its simplicity. I have, however, noticed a problem when using pygame. pygame is an interesting Python library to create games. It handles basic operations (like a simple 2D window, sound output, keyboard processing and so on). When trying to make an executable out of a game using pygame, everything seems to work... but things break when pygame attempts to load its fonts. Here's the end of the traceback I receive on calling pygame.font.Font (this is in the executable, not the original Python script): File "site-packages\pygame\pkgdata.py", line 50, in getResource File "site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 1134, in resource_exists File "site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 1404, in has_resource File "site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 1464, in _has NotImplementedError: Can't perform this operation for unregistered loader type (I am running the pyinstaller script in a virtualenv, which might also play a role.) 4The problem doesn't seem to come from pygame directly.
