Missing plugin with imread in SKIMAGE about pyinstaller-hooks-contrib HOT 9 CLOSED

You can create a hook file hook-skimage.io.py with the following content:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files, collect_submodules

datas = collect_data_files("skimage.io._plugins")`
hiddenimports = collect_submodules('skimage.io._plugins')

From: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35043355

Method 1: (global)

You have to do this method only one time. Your PyInstaller will use the file every time you have a project with skimage.io.
Copy the file in the hooks-folder of your PyInstaller directory (for me it is in ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PyInstaller on Ubuntu, C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller on Windows).
Now PyInstaller includes the _plugin-folder of your skimage.io package into the generated directory/file and all I/O-operations with skimage will work correctly.

Method 2: (only for current project)

This method is NOT global. Your PyInstaller need to get this file every time you have a project with skimage.io.
Copy the file in a folder near to your project files e.g. hooks.
Then you start PyInstaller use the --additional-hooks-dirattribute like this:

pyinstaller --additional-hooks-dir=./hooks script.py

./hooks must the path to the folder there your hook-skimage.io.py is placed. script.py is your script with the application you want to pack with PyInstaller. You have to call this attribute every time you want to pack this script.

Both methods work for one-file and one-directory mode.
I recommend to use method 1.

I uploaded the file here:

I solve this by using the solution from pyinstaller/pyinstaller#583

first put these at the top of the spec file:

_from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib
from os import path
skimage_plugins = Tree(
path.join(get_python_lib(), "skimage","io","_plugins"),
prefix=path.join("skimage","io","plugins"),
)

then i added 'skimage_plugins' the so it looks like below:

coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
skimage_plugins,
strip=False,
upx=True,
name='whatevername')

although i am facing other issues at the moment, but at least i got away with the error.

don't follow the stackoverflow solution. it was incorrect. not sure why it was given a tick.

hi, have you solved it?

from pyinstaller-hooks-contrib.

You need to add the required plugins using --hidden-import.

The stackoverflow solution is wrong since you want to add python modules (I assume) and no data-files.

We would appreciate if you'd submit a hook for this. See https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.org/en/latest/hooks.html for more information about how to implement hooks.

Somebody to create a real hook for this?

You just need to use collect_data or collect_submodules (please check the other hooks for which one and test) to collect the plugins.

Should this issue be closed now that pyinstaller/pyinstaller#3934 is merged?
