python - Imported module not found in PyInstaller

Question

I'm working in Windows, using PyInstaller to package a python file. But some error is occuring:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
  File "D:Useful Appspyinstaller-2.0PyInstallerloaderiu.py", line 386, in importHook
    mod = _self_doimport(nm, ctx, fqname)
  File "D:Useful Appspyinstaller-2.0PyInstallerloaderiu.py", line 480, in doimport
    exec co in mod.__dict__
  File "D:Useful Appspyinstaller-2.0serveruildpyi.win32serverout00-PYZ.pyzSocketServer", line 132, in <module>
  File "D:Useful Appspyinstaller-2.0PyInstallerloaderiu.py", line 386, in importHook
    mod = _self_doimport(nm, ctx, fqname)
  File "D:Useful Appspyinstaller-2.0PyInstallerloaderiu.py", line 480, in doimport
    exec co in mod.__dict__
  File "D:Useful Appspyinstaller-2.0serveruildpyi.win32serverout00-PYZ.pyzsocket", line 47, in <module>
  File "D:Useful Appspyinstaller-2.0PyInstallerloaderiu.py", line 409, in importHook
    raise ImportError("No module named %s" % fqname)
ImportError: No module named _socket

I know that _socket is in path C:Python27libs\_socket.lib, but how can let the generated EXE find that file?

If you are using virtualenv you should use the "-p" or "--path='D:...'" option. Like this:

pyinstaller.exe --onefile --paths=D:envLibsite-packages  .foo.py

What this does is generates foo.spec file with this pathex path
