+* Note that some bundler tools that try to find all modules used by a
+ project, like PyInstaller, will miss ``_cffi_backend`` in the
+ out-of-line mode because your program contains no explicit ``import
+ cffi`` or ``import _cffi_backend``. You need to add
+ ``_cffi_backend`` explicitly (as a "hidden import" in PyInstaller,
+ but it can also be done more generally by adding the line ``import
+ _cffi_backend`` in your main program).
+
Note that CFFI actually contains two different ``FFI`` classes. The
page `Using the ffi/lib objects`_ describes the common functionality.
It is what you get in the ``from package._foo import ffi`` lines above.
