使用PyInstaller将含Tkinter与Selenium的Python代码打包为EXE时出现pre-safe-import-module hook失败错误

Looks like you're hitting a common compatibility snag between PyInstaller's hook for setuptools.extern.six.moves and newer versions of setuptools/six. Let's walk through practical fixes step by step:

1. Upgrade Core Dependencies First #

This is the most likely fix—outdated versions of PyInstaller, setuptools, or six often trigger this hook failure. Run these commands to grab the latest stable releases:

pip install --upgrade pyinstaller setuptools six

After upgrading, re-run your original PyInstaller command and check if the error clears up.

2. Exclude the Problematic Six Module Hook #

If upgrading doesn't resolve the issue, explicitly tell PyInstaller to skip processing the broken hook. Modify your pack command like this:

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onedir --console --exclude-module setuptools.extern.six.moves --icon "D:/fiver/amazone/Danleech-Simple-Amazon.ico" "D:/fiver/amazone/guit/onlyui.py"

This bypasses the problematic submodule analysis that's causing the crash.

3. Use a Clean Virtual Environment (Avoid Anaconda for Packing) #

Anaconda environments often include pre-modified packages that clash with PyInstaller. Try setting up a fresh venv to eliminate dependency conflicts:

• Create and activate the environment:

  python -m venv amazon-pack-env
  # Windows Command Prompt:
  amazon-pack-env\Scripts\activate.bat
  # Windows PowerShell:
  amazon-pack-env\Scripts\Activate.ps1
  

• Install your dependencies in this clean space:

  pip install selenium webdriver-manager numpy argparse
  

• Run your PyInstaller command from the activated environment.

4. Simplify Your Command for Debugging #

Strip down your command to the basics first to isolate the issue:

pyinstaller --console "D:/fiver/amazone/guit/onlyui.py"

If this works, gradually add back flags like --onedir, --icon, and --noconfirm one by one to pinpoint any additional conflicts.

Bonus: Handling WebDriver Manager #

Since you're using webdriver_manager, ensure PyInstaller includes all its files by adding --collect-all webdriver_manager to your command. This prevents post-pack errors where the driver can't be located.
