Oh interesting, it looks like pyinstaller isn't copying the files specified in the package_data field in setup.py.

This might be related. Maybe try some variant of adding trimesh/resources to MANIFEST.in?

[mikedh]

Added to requested enhancements list, closing for now.

Looks like adding include_package_data=True to setup.py could help with this (see answer here)?

[ericeasthope]

Have there been developments on this? AFAIK there isn't another clean way to use trimesh in production without support for pyinstaller. I wouldn't call support for production builds an "enhancement" ...

[mikedh]

Hey, most of the live applications using trimesh (including the ones I work on) run as backend services in docker containers. There are pre-built images based on debian:buster-slim on docker hub that are rebuilt on every release.

That being said, I would be happy to accept PR's to fix issues with pyinstaller and run it in unit tests.

Hiya, I'm trying to compile a python script with pyinstaller and although I can get test files working, the script that used trimesh ends with this error when I try to run the exe:

"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "example.py", line 12, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'trimesh'
[25704] Failed to execute script example"

Any ideas on how to fix this? Is there a command switch to use with pyinstaller to force the use of trimesh? Currently all I'm using is "pyinstaller --onefile example.py".
