Py2exe - module does not find
Question: I'm trying to make an exe file from my (2) py files. In one file is bs4
imported - `import bs4` When I try to execute this script:

    
    
    setup(
        console = ['gui.py'],
        options = {
            'py2exe': {
                'packages': ["bs4"]
            }
        }
    )
    

the console returns:

    
    
        C:\Users\uživatel\PycharmProjects\mail_checker>setup.py py2exe
    running py2exe
    *** searching for required modules ***
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "C:\Users\u×ivatel\PycharmProjects\mail_checker\setup.py", line 12, in <m
    odule>
        'packages': ["bs4"]
      File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\core.py", line 151, in setup
        dist.run_commands()
      File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 953, in run_commands
        self.run_command(cmd)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 972, in run_command
        cmd_obj.run()
      File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\build_exe.py", line 243, in run
        self._run()
      File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\build_exe.py", line 296, in _run
        self.find_needed_modules(mf, required_files, required_modules)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\build_exe.py", line 1306, in find_n
    eeded_modules
        mf.import_hook(f)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf.py", line 719, in import_hook
        return Base.import_hook(self,name,caller,fromlist,level)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf.py", line 136, in import_hook
        q, tail = self.find_head_package(parent, name)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf.py", line 204, in find_head_pack
    age
        raise ImportError, "No module named " + qname
    ImportError: No module named bs4
    

So I suppose that I haven't setup.py written correct. Could you give me an
advice? Thanks


Answer: **SOLUTION:**

The problem was probably that I have installed bs4 (and xlsxwriter) by
easy_install which creates *.egg files in `site-packages` folder. Py2exe
couldn't find bs4 in `site-packages` for some reason. So I tried to open
BeautifulSoup egg file and copy bs4 folder into `site-packages` folder, I did
the same with xlsxwriter.

_It helped. Program works properly._
