So I recently embedded youtube_dl into my python 3 project which all works very nicely.
The problem occurs when I compile that into an exe file using:
c:/python332/scripts/pyinstaller myprogram.py
It compiles fine, but upon running the exe I get an error similar to this:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\python332\python.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
This specific error occurs if I go to the directory on command line, enter py -3 then try to import youtube_dl.
Interestingly, if I go to a different directory and then run py -3 and import youtube_dl it works perfectly fine (if the load time is a whee bit slow).
As extra information, for some reason pyinstaller is including both python27.dll and python37.dll, when I would have thought it would only want python37.dll?
Looking in the dist folder of the program I can see that a msvcr90.dll is present.
I am wondering is this some sort of compilation clash where pyinstaller is mixing python 2 and python 3 together?
Is there a known fix for this?
thanks.

I am encoutering import errors, but only when running my python scripts from cmd or windows task scheduler (effectively the same issue I assume). I have researched answers already and attempted various solutions (detailed below), but nothing has worked yet. I need to understand the problem in any case so that I can manage anything like it in the future.
Here is the issue:
Windows 10. Anaconda Python 3.9.7. Virtual enviromnent.
I have a script that works fine if I open an anaconda prompt, activate the virtual environment and run it.
However, this is where the fun starts. If I try to run the script from the non-anaconda cmd prompt deploying the commands: "C:\Users\user\anaconda3\envs\venv\python.exe" "C:\Users\user\scripts\script.py" if get the following error:
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing etree: The specified module could not be found.
Traceback includes:
"C:\Users\user\anaconda3\envs\venv\lib\site-packages\lxml\html\__init__.py", line 53, in <module>
from ..import etree
This is not as simple as one specific module not being installed, because of course running the script from within the anaconda prompt and the virtual environment works. Similar also happens when I run other scripts. Other errors I have seen include, for example:
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _imaging: The specified module could not be found.
Traceback includes:
"C:\Users\user\anaconda3\envs\venv\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 114, in <module>
from . import _imaging as core
Also, I think this may be somehow related. Importing numpy (1.22.3) from within the python interpreter in the virtual environment works fine, but when I try to run a test script that imports numpy it fails both from anaconda and the cmd with the following error:
ImportError: cannot import name SystemRandom
The oveall issue was noted originally when trying to run various scripts from Windows Task Scheduler with the path to python "C:\Users\user\anaconda3\envs\venv\python.exe" entered as the Program/script and the script "script.py" entered as an argument. The above errors were produced, then reproduced by running the scripts from a non-anaconda cmd.
I am looking to understand what is happening here and for a solution that can get the scripts running from the virtual enviroment from Windows Task Scheduler effectively.
Update:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled numpy (and pandas) using conda. This has left the venv with numpy==1.20.3 (and pandas=1.4.2). On attempting to re-run one of the scripts, it runs fine from within the venv in anaconda, but produces the following error when attempting to run from cmd or from within Windows Task Scheduler as above:
ImportError: Unable to import required dependencies:
numpy:
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!
Importing the numpy C-extensions faled. This error can happen for many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was installed.
We have complied some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:
https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html
Please note and check the following:
* The Python version is: Python3.9 from "C:\Users\user\anaconda3\envs\venv\python.exe"
* The NumPy version is "1.20.3"
and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefull study the documentation linked above for further help.
Original error was: DLL load failed while importing _multiarray_umath: The specified module could not be found.
I have looked into the solutions suggested, but am still completely at a loss, especially as to why the script runs from the venv in one place, but NOT the other.
I know that questions have already been raised on this topic, but I believe that all decisions were strictly individual. The essence of the problem:
There is a calculator.py script and a kalkulator.py These files are in the same directory, the calculator file is executable, this is the file that I convert into an EXE using PyInstaller. Inside the file, I import several PyQt5 libraries, and the second file is Python: from kalkulator import *
The second file kalkulator.py contains the GUI of the program created with QtDesigner
When i run the command pyinstaller --onefile --debug calculator.py everything goes fine.
But when I run the EXE program file in debug mode, I see the following error:
The photo shows that the following error occurs.
"DLL Load Failed: The specified procedure could not be found."
I can assume that the problem is that when assembling, PyInstaller does not see the file kalkulator.py it contains a graphical interface.
What can you say about this problem, how do you think you can solve it?
I use:
Python 3.5
PyQt5
PyInstaller 3.3.1
I managed to solve my problem! I changed the version of Python 3.5.0 to 3.6.0, and also reinstalled PyQt5.
I am trying to compile a python 3.5 program, which uses tkinter as a GUI. To do that I am using pyinstall, but I run into a problem during compliation process I get warning messages" tkinter not found" and the program does not work afterwards (as a dist version). It seems pyinstaller is looking for tkinter.py but from what I undersant python 3.x uses __init__py. How should I proceed compiling this program? I have ran through the documentation on pyinstaller page, but it wasn't helpful, or I missed something...
enter image description here
You probably need the hidden import feature when compiling. Add the following as an option when compiling your script:
--hidden-import tkinter
Hi I am pretty new to cx_Freeze, so when I try to freeze a Python file (it's just a basic hello world program) cx_Freeze creates an exe along with a bunch of other things. When I run the exe it gives me a "cannot find module _frozen_importlib_external" error. I am using Python 3.5 and running Windows 10. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I had the same problem.
The issue here is that cx_freeze can't see the import and will not embed the package _frozen_importlib_external.
Change the file cx_Freeze/finder.py with the diff given at https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/pull-requests/83/python-35-compatibility-for-cx_freeze-4x/diff and then build and install cx_Freeze again.
i am trying to create an executable from my python script. My script runs fine, but after freezing it, starting the .exe gives me the following error:
http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=4663406scipyerror.png
I am using Python 3.2.3, Scipy 0.12.0b1, Numpy 1.7.0 and Matplotlib 1.2.0 (all 32bit).
Any ideas/hints on how to solve this? My guess is i have to include something manually in my freezing script, but i am running out of guesses :-(
I got it finally to work, but I am very unsatisfied with my solution:
1) copy _odepack.pyd and odepack.py from the SciPy package to my program folder
2) in odepack.py change from . import _odepack to import _odepack (otherwise ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package is raised)
3) in my main change from scipy.integrate import odeint to from odepack import odeint
Now it is working as expected and after using cx_freeze it is still working.
Still got no idea why it would not work before :-(
Thanks ThomasK for pushing me in the right direction though :-)
I finally got around this vode-problem by specifying "scipy.integrate.vode" as an include in the cx setup-file. This resulted in a file "scipy.integrate.vode.pyd" to end up in the build folder. I am using SciPy 0.11, Python 3.2.3 and the latest cx on Windows.
But adding such a "scipy.integrate.vode" file manually to the build folder would not fix the problem for me either, even though such manual-include-fixes were needed for many other .pyd files cx could not find either (and whereby the above setup.py include-solution would not work instead)...
Thanks for sharing your distress and wisdom, would not have managed to freeze my program otherwize...
