* Package name : python-pyinstaller-hooks-contrib Version : 2024.9 Upstream Contact: PyInstaller Development Team * URL : https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller-hooks-contrib/ * License : GPL-2+, Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : Community hooks for PyInstaller What happens when a package doesn't work with PyInstaller? Does it have have data files that are needed at runtime which PyInstaller doesn't bundle. Does it require other packages which PyInstaller can't see? This can be fixed with hooks. . A "hook" file extends PyInstaller to adapt it to the special needs and methods used by a Python package. The word "hook" is used for two kinds of files. A runtime hook helps the bootloader to launch an app, setting up the environment. A package hook (there are several types of those) tells PyInstaller what to include in the final app - such as data files and (hidden) imports. . This package is a collection of hooks contributed by the community for many common packages. This package extends pyinstaller, and will be recommended by it. It is also required to run the full suite of PyInstaller tests. It will be maintained under the Debian Python Team umbrella.
