I just created a small GUI program that compiles and works fine in IPython, but when I try to export it to a .exe
using pyinstaller it gives me an import error. I'm sure it's sklearn
because when I comment out the sklearn
imports my file open fine when I build it.

You can still use pyinstaller by adding the following to your command:
--hidden-import sklearn.neighbors.typedefs
or by adding the following to your .spec
file:
hiddenimports=['cython', 'sklearn', 'sklearn.neighbors.typedefs']
its better to use spec file to import another hidden libraries maybe cause the problem. I list all Sklearn libraries and add to spec file as a hiddenimports like this:
# -*- mode: python -*-
block_cipher = None
a = Analysis(['MyPythonApplication.py'],
pathex=['..\\ApplicationFolder'],
binaries=[],
datas=[],
hiddenimports=['cython', 'sklearn', 'sklearn.ensemble', 'sklearn.neighbors.typedefs', 'sklearn.neighbors.quad_tree', 'sklearn.tree._utils'],
hookspath=[],
runtime_hooks=[],
excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=block_cipher)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts,
exclude_binaries=True,
name='ExeFileName',
debug=False,
strip=False,
upx=False,
console=False )
coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=True,
name='ApplicationName')
Solved it myself! Ended up using py2exe. Much easier to import modules even though bundling to one .exe is not yet supported on x64 systems. But worked for my purposes. Just added the following line to the "includes":
sklearn.neighbors.typedefs
Find this dir "E:\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks".
Add a file "hook-pandas.py",wrie this content to this file:
"""
Hook for pandas.
Suport for pyinstaller error : No module named ‘pandas._libs.tslibs.timedeltas
"""
hiddenimports=[
#all your previous hidden imports
'pandas', 'pandas._libs.tslibs.timedeltas',
'sklearn.neighbors.typedefs'
]
Then use this command:
pyinstaller -F myfile.py --hidden-import sklearn.neighbors.typedefs
Then it will be OK!
