pyOpenGL exe made with PyInstaller gives attributeerror

Question

I'm trying to make lesson18.py from the pyOpenGL examples into an exe but when compiled it gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Press any key to continue . . .

This happens with all programs(including my own) that use pyOpenGL, the error is the same.

Are there any additional tricks(imports, etc.) to make a working executable with pyInstaller(I know there are with py2exe, but I prefer pyInstaller)?

My python version is 2.7 pyOpenGL ver.: 3.0.2a5 pyinstaller ver.: 1.5.1

I still have the very same problem prevailing @ python 2.7 (stock Mac OS), PyOpenGL: 3.0.2b2, pyinstaller 2.0 — kosta5, Sep 28 '12 at 07:03

I found out a solution to this particular issue!

It is about the PyOpenGL version. Pyinstaller works fine with PyOpenGL version 3.0.1b1

You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyopengl/files/PyOpenGL/ and compile it yourself. Dont forget to remove your old PyOpenGL version from site-packages folder! You can check for active version of PyOpenGL on your system executing following:

>>>import pkg_resources
>>>pkg_resources.get_distribution("PyOpenGL").version
>>>'3.0.1b1'
