ohh,thank u. with the method you offered ，i solve it too！

[melroy89]

Interesting. Which python version are you using, if I may ask? On which os?

python3.8 pyinstaller is packaged and run in win2008 server

[melroy89]

hm.. I think pyinstaller can't handle importlib-resources package. I will try to fallback to pkg_resources, lets hope this works.. Otherwise I don't know either

[melroy89]

I tried to impl. a fallback mechanism towards pkg_resource before going to the external website resource. Hopefully this will fetch the data file locally still.

This is available in version 1.1.0.

Update via: pip install --upgrade fake-useragent

[JimCarry455]

it was working fine for me till the last update now i am getting the same error as he got it was working fine before the update i got this one https://i.imgur.com/WX5ix1a.png

i solved it by writing this i don't know what was the problem (ua = UserAgent(use_external_data=True))

Why is your Python looking in the AppData\\Local\\Temp folder? Did you correctly installed Python and pip? This seems not a normal way of using Python.

I would expect that the Python is looking at the following folder instead: C:\\Users\\Yourname\\AppData\\Local\\Packages.

---

ua = UserAgent(use_external_data=True)

Yea, that is how you skip reading the local JSON data file all together. Which is maybe not ideal. That being said, even with those errors, it automatically fallback to retrieving the external data. So for example ua.random will still output data, despite the warnings.

[JimCarry455]

Yea i have installed python and pip correctly it only does this after using pyinstaller and yea it continue after giving the error

[melroy89]

Ah you are both using pyinstaller. Hm did might me a clue. Maybe pyinstaller can't be used together with resource files, in order to retrieve this locally installed data file.

In your case Python is also looking at C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI24282\fake_useragent\data\browsers.json.. Why would Python look into the Temp folder?

I don't have a Windows machine, I have definitely also not a Win 2008 machine. I also never used pyinstaller to be honest.
