This is somewhat of a similar question that I've previously had.
Trying to figure out a way to publish an executable without the client needing nltk_data libraries.
Current directory tree looks like this:
.
+-- Include
+-- Lib
+-- Scripts
+-- Src
| +-- mainservice.py << flask service
| +-- mainprogram.py << nltk_data logic
The issue is that I can't seem to add nltk_data as a hidden import. The executable builds fine but when the client runs my executable it states that it needs nltk_data to run.
My current pyinstaller command is:
'pyinstaller --hidden-import=flask --onefile -d -y ' + pwd + '/src/semantic_service.py'
I've tried several variations to try to include nltk_data as a hidden import and nltk and haven't had much luck either.
So far I've referred to this link https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1099 to try to find resolves with not much luck.
Is it possible to create nltk_data as a hidden import, or would the client just always need a copy of this library? If there is a hook solution, could someone help point me to try right direction?
