Based on this ticket https://github.com/pandas-profiling/pandas-profiling/issues/706 (suggesting to ask on stackoverflow), is there any way (maybe a modified spec file) to get a simple executable from pyinstaller that uses pandas profiling? For reference, my current python code to achieve this looks like this
import pandas as pd
import os
from pandas_profiling import ProfileReport
from multiprocessing import Process, freeze_support
def f():
files = {}
for filename in os.listdir(os.getcwd()):
if filename.endswith('.csv'):
with open(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), filename), 'r') as f:
file = pd.read_csv(filename, sep=';')
files[filename.replace('.csv', '')] = file
for filename, file in files.items():
profile = ProfileReport(file, title="Profiling Report {}".format(filename))
profile.to_file("{}_report.html".format(filename))
if __name__ == '__main__':
freeze_support()
Process(target=f).start()
The freeze_support was added after reading suggestions that the multiprocessing used in pandas-profiling might cause problems with pyinstaller. The error I get when running the executable is 'No such file or directory', more specifically a missing config-default.yaml file for pandas-profiling. I added pandas-profiling to the hidden imports of my spec file, which doesn't change anything.
Has anyone figured out how to do it, maybe how to modify the spec file for pyinstaller?
