Issues with pyinstaller

[thomasrunge]

Schwifty doesn't work nicely with pyinstaller by default when using the "--onefile"-option. Here is a solution that works for me, just in case someone is interested.

In your pyinstaller-spec file add this:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata, collect_data_files

and use

datas = copy_metadata("schwifty") + collect_data_files("schwifty")

This copies the generated json files ("bank_registry" and "iban_registry") to your executable. As this adds a subdirectory with the name of the package ("schwifty") and our own directories below that, we need to adjust registry.py: change line 53
from

directory = package_path / f"{name}_registry"

to

directory = package_path / "schwifty" / f"{name}_registry"

This fixes runs with pyinstaller-made exe files, but disturbs non-pyinstaller-runs. The better (correct?) solution now works fine for me in every scenario:

In schwifty\registry.py line 48:

package_path = Path(getattr(sys, "_MEIPASS"))

change to:

package_path = Path(getattr(sys, "_MEIPASS")) / __package__

The issue should be fixed in schwifty release 2024.05.2 where #92 has been reverted as suggested by the pyinstaller maintainer here #196 (comment)
