Problem Running Xgboost in Executable File

Question

I am using a saved Xgboost model in a executable file created with PyInstaller. I setup a virtual env and downloaded Xgboost and ensured it ran but after I create the exe and run the exe I get an error about xgboost.core:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module nemed 'xgboost.core'

Answer 1

Actually I can't see any import problem with xgboost, first, make sure that you are using the latest version inside your env with pip install -U xgboost next try to add xgboost.core as a hidden-import and add xgboost's DLLs as data-files.

Suppose that your virtualenv is named env, use below command to generate your executable:

├───myscript.py
├───env

Code:

import traceback
try:
    from xgboost import core
    input("xgboost.core imported successfully!")
except Exception:
    traceback.print_exc()
    input("Import Error!")

Command:

(env) > pyinstaller myscript.py -F --hidden-import=xgboost.core --add-data "./env/xgboost/*;xgboost/" 
--add-data "./env/Lib/site-packages/xgboost/VERSION;xgboost/"
