PyInstaller doesn't import Queue

Question

I'm trying to compile some script with twisted and Queue.

pyinstaller sample.py --onefile

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-#
from twisted import *
import queue as Queue
a = Queue.Queue()

Unfortunately, produced file fails with ImportError: No module named queue.

Answer 1

I don't think this is a PyInstaller or Twisted related issue at all. The Queue module is part of the standard library, and the issue is how you're naming it. In Python 2, it's Queue with a capital letter, but in Python 3, it's renamed queue to follow the more standard naming convention where modules have lowercase names.

Your script seems like it's a port of Python 2 code to Python 3 (thus the as Queue part of the import), but you're running it with Python 2 still. That may fail in other more subtle ways than just the Queue import being wrong (e.g. its Unicode handling may be all wrong).
