Issues With Pyinstaller And Reportlab

Alright so I have a python project that I want to compile, so I decided to use pyinstaller (first time compiling python). Now it compiled fine but when I run the exe it returns -1.

Solution 1:

Well I got it working,

Decided to go look at where exactly the AttributeError was being thrown from so I inspected the reportlab/rl_config.py and reportlab/lib/utils.py files and found that it was checking objects recursively looking for directories (as insinuated by rl_isdir). Some how the FrozenImporter got stuck being checked with a list of other objects

so I replaced the line:

returnlen(list(filter(lambda x,pn=pn: x.startswith(pn),list(__loader__._files.keys()))))>0

with:

try:
    returnlen(list(filter(lambda x,pn=pn: x.startswith(pn),list(__loader__._files.keys()))))>0except AttributeError:
    returnFalse

This may not have been the cleanest most efficient way to resolve the issue but it only touches one line of the original code so I found this to be the most straight forward solution.
