I'm trying to build an executable from a module of mine with pyinstaller but every attempt to do this ended with: 

File "C:\Python 3.6.5\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks\hook-clr.py", line 37, in <module>
raise Exception(pyruntime + ' not found')

Exception: Python.Runtime not found

After some research I found that this is due to pandas module. Infact every time I insert pandas import into module I get this error, without it pyinstaller does the job. I read that the cause may be that PyInstaller is grabbing pandas python code, but not grabbing the lib. So I tried to add 

def get_pandas_path():
    import pandas
    pandas_path = pandas.__path__[0]
    return pandas_path


dict_tree = Tree(get_pandas_path(), prefix='pandas', excludes=["*.pyc"])
a.datas += dict_tree
a.binaries = filter(lambda x: 'pandas' not in x[0], a.binaries)

to spec file and launch 

pyinstaller --onefile my_project.spec

as suggested in [this thread] (ImportError with Pyinstaller and Pandas) anyway I get the same error.

As requested, I'm adding the entire Traceback:

    can we see the full traceback error and the version of python you're using? Commented Oct 5, 2018 at 12:39
  • yes, for sure, I'll update OP right now Commented Oct 5, 2018 at 13:15

For me, this issue went away when I installed pythonnet: pip install pythonnet

It looks like you need to open the hook-clr.py and add the path to your Python.Runtime.dll to data=[]: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1801

if is_win:
    pyruntime = 'Python.Runtime'
    library = ctypes.util.find_library(pyruntime)
    datas = ['path\\to\\Python.Runtime.dll']

    if library:
        datas = [(library, '')]
    else:
        # find Python.Runtime.dll in pip-installed pythonnet package
        for sitepack in getsitepackages():
            library = join(sitepack, pyruntime + '.dll')
            if exists(library):
                datas = [(library, '')]
        if not datas:
            raise Exception(pyruntime + ' not found')

Hi, unfortunately this solution doesn't work for me, modyifing hook-clr.py as suggested returns me ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2). I'll update my OP with more infos
@Ignus Ran into this as well looks like it expects an array of a single tuple with the path and '.' see here: stackoverflow.com/questions/40676027/…

Old question I know, but I could not find a solution to this online, including OP's follow up that the solution from It_is_Chis did not work fully. I found the same initial error, then after the solution from It_is_Chris, the same issue in receiving the ValueError. However, the solution is quite simple after reading the PyInstaller docs (How to use .spec files with PyInstaller):

Relevant snip from PyInstaller webpage

To give a slightly more full answer for noobs like me, navigate to your python site-packages folder then into PyInstaller and finally hooks (this can be found under interpreter paths, otherwise mine was in: C:\Users*user*\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks. Then open the hook-clr.py file.

Then all it takes is to make your addition to datas a tupple as follows:

if is_win:
    pyruntime = 'Python.Runtime'
    library = ctypes.util.find_library(pyruntime)
    datas = [('path\\to\\Python.Runtime.dll','.')]

    if library:
        datas = [(library, '')]
    else:
        # find Python.Runtime.dll in pip-installed pythonnet package
        for sitepack in getsitepackages():
            library = join(sitepack, pyruntime + '.dll')
            if exists(library):
                datas = [(library, '')]
        if not datas:
            raise Exception(pyruntime + ' not found')
