I'm working on a fork which (hopefully) does a better job of supporting non-python files in __file__. With this system, the hooks become fairly simple; here's an example for the sphinx package: # hook-sphinx.py from hookutils import get_mods, get_data_files package_name = 'sphinx' hiddenimports = get_mods(package_name) datas = get_data_files(package_name)
The fork is at https://github.com/bjones1/pyinstaller.
