PyInstaller does NOT work when including Pysnmp

Question

Just trying one of the official documentation site examples:

from pysnmp.hlapi import *

errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = next(
    getCm

To make Jeremy's answer portable, you can modify your specfile like this diff:

+ import os.path
+ import pysmi
+ import pysnmp.smi.mibs

+ def module_base(module):
+   return os.path.abspath(os.path.join(module.__file__, os.pardir))

  coll = COLLECT(
      exe,
      a.binaries,
      a.zipfiles,
      a.datas,
+     Tree(module_base(pysmi), prefix='pysmi'),
+     Tree(module_base(pysnmp.smi.mibs), prefix='pysnmp/smi/mibs'),
      ...

EDIT: turn out adding these to hiddenimports solved the problem for me:

'pysnmp.smi.mibs', 'pysnmp.smi.mibs.instances', 'pysnmp.smi.exval', 'pysnmp.cache'

Answer 2

Got the same error "could not get source code". There is an issue about that created on Pyinstaller github page: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1945 Solution is to include ply to spec file as it is described in link you mentioned: Can't get pysnmp to work with pyinstaller by adding "PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules('ply')" to hiddenimports

And make sure ply version is >= 3.9!

My spec file looks pretty much same except Analysis part:

a = Analysis(['main.py'],
         binaries=None,
         datas=PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_data_files('pysnmp') + \
         hiddenimports=PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules('pysmi')+\
         PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules('ply') + \
         PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules('pyasn1') + \
         PyInstaller.utils.hooks.collect_submodules('pysnmp'),
         hookspath=None,
         runtime_hooks=None,
         excludes=None,
         win_no_prefer_redirects=None,
         win_private_assemblies=None,
         cipher=block_cipher)

Answer 3

I had the same problem and managed to get it working by including the pysmi files as a Tree just like the pysnmp mibs.

My pyinstaller spec file ended up like:

...

x = Tree(os.getcwd()+'/.pyenv/Lib/site-packages/pysnmp/smi/mibs',prefix='pysnmp/smi/mibs')
y = Tree(os.getcwd()+'/.pyenv/Lib/site-packages/pysmi',prefix='pysmi')

...

exe = EXE(pyz,
      a.scripts,
      a.binaries,
      a.zipfiles,
      a.datas,
      x,y,

...

While this worked I actually solved it in another way by using an older version of pysnmp v4.2.5 which doesn't depend on pysmi
