Re: [Py2exe-users] Error in packaging (windows exe) Python script

[Toni B. <hih...@go...>]

Hi,

it seems like synapse client wants to read relevant data from a json 
file which isn't available when bundled into an exe file.

In my eyes it would be inefficient to add some tweaks in py2exe, packing 
the relevant files and forwarding the necessary reads to this file when 
importing. Instead I would try contacting the developers of synapse 
client or file an issue ticket to them so they can try to get this 
working properly.

You can of course try to package the relevant file, which seems to be in 
some path like synapseclient\synapsepythonclient, into the executable on 
your own and see if it works like a charm, but I doubt it.

I myself don't have any experience with this library, so you should try 
to get it working on your own or contact the developers as stated above.

Hope you get behind the magic of this :).

Best Regards.

Toni
