[PyQt] pyqtdeploy build can't find modules

[David Beck]

Hi, Phill

Thanks for getting back to me.

I did what you suggested (edited builder.py, redeployed pyqtdeploy). I fuond the freeze.py and jobs.csv in a directory /private/var/folders/xc/l59x44tx4_bbl7d78cp44fyc0000gn/T/pyqtdeploy-skzdGX/. I ran the freeze.py file manually using the command

python3.5 /private/var/folders/xc/l59x44tx4_bbl7d78cp44fyc0000gn/T/pyqtdeploy-skzdGX/freeze.py /private/var/folders/xc/l59x44tx4_bbl7d78cp44fyc0000gn/T/pyqtdeploy-skzdGX/jobs.csv

This executed successully. Running the new build of pyqtdeploy, however, gets the same “file not found” error as before. 

I notice that /var/ is a symbolic link in my file system to /private/var/, and pyqtdeploy is using the alias rather than the longer “/private/var”. Could that have something to do with it? (Manually running the command above without “private” works fine.)

David
