问题描述

运行python2.6.6上使用pyinstaller打包的应用程序报下面的错误

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 11, in <module>
  File "c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 389, in load_module

pyi_rth_pkgres returned -1

解决办法

使用 pip list 查看已经安装的包，发现是setuptools包的版本太高，环境里的setuptools版本是20.x.x。

果断卸载并安装低版本的setuptools(19.2)，如下：

pip uninstall setuptools
pip install setuptools==19.2

重新打包python脚本再运行，问题解决。
