ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google' on python 3.6.7

I'm making a script that receives some args and use these args to manipulate a Firebase Realtime Database.

When I run the script on cmd (I'm on a Windows 10 computer) by typing mpython myScript.py arg1 arg2 ... it works fine. But when I use cx_Freeze to build my .exe it says that there are modules missing

Missing modules:
? Cookie imported from requests.compat
? OpenSSL.SSL imported from urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl
? OpenSSL.crypto imported from urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl
? StringIO imported from requests.compat, six, urllib3.packages.six
....
? urllib3.packages.six.moves.urllib.parse imported from 
urllib3.poolmanager, urllib3.request
? urlparse imported from requests.compat
? vms_lib imported from platform
This is not necessarily a problem - the modules may not be needed on this 
platform.

And it also shows

Traceback (most recent call last):

My setup.py

import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

setup ( 
    name = "pyFirebase",
    version = "1.1",
    executables = [Executable("pyFirebase.py")]
)

My imports on pyFirebase.py (not showing the whole program because it's from my job, I can't, sorry)

import sys
import os

import datetime

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
from firebase_admin import db

from random import randint

And my way of handling with the args

if(len(sys.argv) == 5):
    var1 = args[1]

I did a test using just the args and building the .exe and it worked, so probably the issue is with the modules or with my environment.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • EDIT: try to modify your setup.py as follows:

    import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

include_files = []
packages = ['google']
build_exe_options = {'include_files': include_files,
                     'packages': packages}

setup ( 
    name = "pyFirebase",
    version = "1.1",
    options = {'build_exe': build_exe_options},
    executables = [Executable("pyFirebase.py")]
)

    google uses requests, you'll find additional information on how to use requests with cx_Freeze in Requests library: missing SSL handshake certificates file after cx_Freeze.

    You might further need to add any necessary file (license file, certificate, ...?) to the include_files list.

    As far as the Missing modules list reported by cx_Freeze is concerned, this is not necessarily a problem.
