load_ssl and load__ctypes hooks for copying SSL and other DLLs don't work in a pipenv virtualenv

[vashek]

This is like issue #437, except that I'm running setup.py in a virtualenv created by pipenv.
In that case, the SSL DLLs need to be searched in sys.path, not just in sys.base_prefix/"DLLs", because sys.base_prefix is something like C:\Users\USERNAME\.virtualenvs\PROJECTNAME-HASH but there is no DLLs subdirectory there.

Workaround in setup.py:

for dll_mask in ["libcrypto-*.dll", "libssl-*.dll"]:
    for dir_name in sys.path:
        found_dlls = glob.glob(os.path.join(dir_name, dll_mask))
        if found_dlls:
            dataFiles.append(sorted(found_dlls)[-1])
            print(f"... {dataFiles[-1]} found ...")
            break
    else:
        print(f"!!! {dll_mask} not found !!!")

@manziEric Your issue is related to #216 and #586

[manziEric]

@marcelotduarte sorry if its a little bit annoying, but i have not been able to fix the problem with #216 and #586 , i'm not a very experienced python programmer. So i have not been able to solve the problem with the info in #216 and #586 .

@manziEric If my PR #608 is merged, in the next release will fix your issue (instructions to test in #586)

Yes, I still do. With Python 3.8.2 on Windows in a pipenv environment and cx-Freeze 6.2 and Pillow 7.2.0, build fails with:
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\dvorak\\.virtualenvs\\myprogname-yU7Sl9Dj\\DLLs\\libffi-7.dll'

If you have a C compiler, you can test the current version:
pip install -U git+https://github.com/marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze.git@master

[marcelotduarte]

@vashek I created a Github action to test some samples with pipenv, using the current master.
I run with success.
The tests: https://github.com/marcelotduarte/freeze-test/actions/runs/195629742/workflow
The results: https://github.com/marcelotduarte/freeze-test/runs/947542968

cx_Freeze 6.3 has just been released.
Assuming this has been resolved.
If you had issues please re-open.
