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.
