AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS'

Question

Installed Django 1.10.4 and started a project by name test_py. After that created an app by name test_app1.

After creating the app planned to create a installer to run this as a standard-alone app.

Trying to make windows installer using Django 1.10.4 and pyinstaller 3.2 On executing the below command stuck with error, followed by the console output.

$pyinstaller --name=test_py ../test_py/manage.py

The TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting was deprecated in Django 1.8 and removed in Django 1.10.

It looks as if pyinstaller does not support Django 1.10 (see this issue). Until it is fixed, you could use Django 1.8, which is an LTS (long term support) release.

Open the file django_import_finder.py file, located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\utils\hooks\subproc

Find the variable named as "hiddenimports"

hiddenimports = list("settings.INSTALLED_APPS") + \
                 list("settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS") + \
                 list("settings.TEMPLATE_LOADERS") + \
                 ["settings.ROOT_URLCONF"]

Replace the above mentioned variable data with following lines

hiddenimports = list(getattr(settings, "INSTALLED_APPS", [])) + \
                 list(getattr(settings, "TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS", [])) + \
                 list(getattr(settings, "TEMPLATE_LOADERS", [])) + \
                 [getattr(settings, "ROOT_URLCONF", "")]
