Pyinstaller error (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hunspell.platform')

[balika03]

Hi

My windows is: Windows 10 Pro (1909)
Python version is: 3.9.2

I installed the cyhunspell (pip install cyhunspell), after that i created a simple test.py script file with this contain (which is in the example):

from hunspell import Hunspell

h = Hunspell()
print(h.spell('correct')) # True
print(h.spell('incorect')) # False

It is worked:

E:\Novel\py\t>python test.py
True
False

But after that when i tried to create a standalone app with the pyinstaller (E:\Novel\py\t>pyinstaller test.py) and run the exe file from the dist folder (E:\Novel\py\t\dist\test>test.exe) i got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\\VBoxSvr\DEV\Novel\py\t\test.py", line 1, in <module>
    from hunspell import Hunspell
  File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 531, in exec_module
  File "hunspell\__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
  File "hunspell/hunspell.pyx", line 3, in init hunspell.hunspell
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hunspell.platform'
[2992] Failed to execute script test

What did i do wrong? I tested the pyinstaller with the PyQt or other modules they are work well, just this module (cyhunspell) give me error.

The details when i use the pyinstaller these:

Hi,
I copied this files and folders (which are below) into the dist folder:

cacheman (from the c:\users[YOUR_USER_NAME]\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\ site-packages)
future (from the c:\users[YOUR_USER_NAME]\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\ site-packages)
past (from the c:\users[YOUR_USER_NAME]\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\ site-packages)
psutil (from the c:\users[YOUR_USER_NAME]\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\ site-packages)
imp.py (from the c:\users[YOUR_USER_NAME]\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\ lib)
six.py (from the c:\users[YOUR_USER_NAME]\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\ site-packages)
hunspell\platform.py (from https://github.com/MSeal/cython_hunspell/tree/master/hunspell)
hunspell\dictionaries (from https://github.com/MSeal/cython_hunspell/tree/master/hunspell)

It is all 8-9 mb and it works, i tested on the other windows 10 (on other different pc) where the python never was installed and it works well.

I attached the zip files which includes those files which need.
need.zip

And it works on ubuntu 20.04 as well just the "putils" need to replace and overwrite from the "/usr/local/lib/python3.8" folder into the dist. I dont know why but maybe cause the os type is different (and i use 3.9 py on windows and on ubuntu run 3.8).
Otherwise I get this error:

root@balazs-VirtualBox:/mnt/dev/Novel/py/t/dist/test# ./test

ImportError: cannot import name '_psutil_linux' from partially initialized module 'psutil' (most likely due to a circular import) (/mnt/dev/Novel/py/t/dist/test/psutil/__init__.py)
[5371] Failed to execute script test

But if u copy from the usr folder the psutil it works on ubuntu as well.

I know it is not the best solution, but i dont know how i would be able to sort this... best way..

Following what was done here (https://github.com/mobiusklein/cython_pyinstaller_example), I was able to add a file called 'hook-hunspell.py' to my project, which contained the following:
hiddenimports = [
"hunspell.platform",
"cacheman.cachewrap",
"cacheman.cacher",
"cacheman.autosync"
]
I then added the directory where 'hook-hunspell.py' was located to the 'hookspath' property in the .spec file. As the above example mentions, you can also use the command line switch --aditional-hooks-dir. This packaged up hunspell very nicely.
