Dask + pyinstaller fails

I am trying to use dask dataframes into a packaged executable using pyinstaller.

I have just

import dask

in my executable and I package it with

pyinstaller scripts.py

When I run it I get that /some/path/dask.yaml is not found.

Does somebody know if there are hidden imports that I should add or how else to solve this issue?

If dask is installed in <python_path>\Lib\site-packages\theano, you need to create a hook-dask.py file with this content:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import get_package_paths
datas = [(get_package_paths('dask')[1],"dask"),]

and copy this file into your PyInstaller folder:

Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks

When you run pyinstaller, you need to add the path of site-packages with the -p option:

pyinstaller myApp.py -p <python_path>\Lib\site-packages

It will copy the entire dask folder into your dist output folder.

For using dask with PyInstaller you need to add dask.yaml and distributed.yaml to your output executable with add-data flag:

pyinstaller -F --add-data "<python_path>/Lib/site-packages/dask/dask.yaml;./dask" --add-data "<python_path>/Lib/site-packages/distributed/distributed.yaml;./distributed" script.py
