Dear team,

we would need the "pyinstaller" on AIX. We compiled it our self, but got errors when trying pyinstaller on a script.

Error says, that 'python3-importlib-metadata' would need the python standard lib in >= 3.10.

Any idea, or do you plan to port pyinstaller to AIX?

Many thanks in advance for your support.

kind regards

Hi 

What's the version of python  you used?
And which version of pyinstaller you are building. 
Share the build steps also which you used for compiling.  

Thanks
Ranjit

Hello Ranjit,

thanks for getting into it.

We are using the toolbox version of Python-3.9 and compile the latest pyinstaller.

Please see attached text file for the whole process.

After pyinstaller is successfully compiled we tested to use it on a test script:

Hi Joerg

So as I understand , importlib-metadata related issue is fixed. 

I am able to build/install this packages and hitting the same error which you reported, so  it requires debugging .
We will update this discussion once we figure out the issue.

Hello Ranjit,

thanks for getting into it.

We are using the toolbox version of Python-3.9 and compile the latest pyinstaller.

Please see attached text file for the whole process.

After pyinstaller is successfully compiled we tested to use it on a test script:

Hi 

What's the version of python  you used?
And which version of pyinstaller you are building. 
Share the build steps also which you used for compiling.  

Thanks

Dear team,

we would need the "pyinstaller" on AIX. We compiled it our self, but got errors when trying pyinstaller on a script.

Error says, that 'python3-importlib-metadata' would need the python standard lib in >= 3.10.

Any idea, or do you plan to port pyinstaller to AIX?

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Hello Ranjit,

any news in here? Did you find a solution?

Hi Joerg

So as I understand , importlib-metadata related issue is fixed. 

I am able to build/install this packages and hitting the same error which you reported, so  it requires debugging .
We will update this discussion once we figure out the issue.

We will update this discussion once we find RC.   But no time line can be provided as of now, unless it's high priority .

Hi 

What's the version of python  you used?
And which version of pyinstaller you are building. 
Share the build steps also which you used for compiling.  

Thanks

Dear team,

we would need the "pyinstaller" on AIX. We compiled it our self, but got errors when trying pyinstaller on a script.

Error says, that 'python3-importlib-metadata' would need the python standard lib in >= 3.10.

Any idea, or do you plan to port pyinstaller to AIX?

Many thanks in advance for your support.

kind regards

Thanks

Hi, Joerg Kauke

This requires debugging so I have added into the backlog.  
We will update this discussion once we find RC.   But no time line can be provided as of now, unless it's high priority . 

Thanks

Ranjit

Hello Ranjit,

any news in here? Did you find a solution?

Kind regards

Hi Joerg

So as I understand , importlib-metadata related issue is fixed. 

I am able to build/install this packages and hitting the same error which you reported, so  it requires debugging .
We will update this discussion once we figure out the issue.

Hello Ranjit,

thanks for getting into it.

We are using the toolbox version of Python-3.9 and compile the latest pyinstaller.
