Community maintained hooks for PyInstaller

pyinstaller-hooks-contrib: The PyInstaller community hooks repository

What happens when (your?) package doesn't work with PyInstaller? Say you have data files that you need at runtime? PyInstaller doesn't bundle those. Your package requires others which PyInstaller can't see? How do you fix that?

In summary, a "hook" file extends PyInstaller to adapt it to the special needs and methods used by a Python package. The word "hook" is used for two kinds of files. A runtime hook helps the bootloader to launch an app, setting up the environment. A package hook (there are several types of those) tells PyInstaller what to include in the final app - such as the data files and (hidden) imports mentioned above.

This repository is a collection of hooks for many packages, and allows PyInstaller to work with these packages seamlessly.

Installation

pyinstaller-hooks-contrib is automatically installed when you install PyInstaller, or can be installed with pip:

pip install -U pyinstaller-hooks-contrib

I can't see a hook for a-package

Either a-package works fine without a hook, or no-one has contributed hooks. If you'd like to add a hook, or view information about hooks, please see the wiki.
