sleekxmpp.plugins.base.PluginNotFound: feature_starttls when packaging with pyinstaller

[0xjmux]

Hello,
I'm trying to package several libraries into an executable using pyinstaller, but for some reason it's not working. The errors I'm getting are:

  File "xmppTest.py", line 23, in <module>
  File "xmppTest.py", line 16, in __init__
  File "sleekxmpp/clientxmpp.py", line 118, in __init__
  File "sleekxmpp/basexmpp.py", line 264, in register_plugin
  File "sleekxmpp/plugins/base.py", line 162, in enable
sleekxmpp.plugins.base.PluginNotFound: feature_starttls

Line 23 contains code for authentication with an xmpp server, specifically XClient = EchoBot(' ',' ') (obviously with username and password). Line 16 is pulled straight from an example, and is ClientXMPP.__init__(self, jid, password).

The program works fine on my machine, and is able to send messages to an xmpp address, but as soon as I try to package it up I run into problems. If you need any other information, let me know.

Also, I couldn't find a lot of information about ssl with your library on the website. You say it's deprecated, but is it still supported nonetheless? Is there a different method of encryption you recommend?
Thanks.

I tried all manner of --hidden-import flags to pyinstaller but did not manager to get it to package the feature_starttls. I'm a bit of a python n00b so this is a bit beyond me how to get the import working :-(

Have you solved this issue? Stucked with same thing with pyinstaller, py2exe doesn't work too)

@PwnKitteh @jmaasing @FiksUpped: Have you tested with "master"?

It works?

If not, have you a patch?
Can you create a PR?

Hello, I am now also facing this issue with the Slixmpp. has anyone found a solution?

Hello I have found a quick fix.
note I am using Slixmpp, but I have the same issue.
To resolve the feature_starttls plugin error simply add to your file:

(Replace slixmpp with Sleekxmpp)
from slixmpp.plugins.base import register_plugin
from slixmpp.features.feature_starttls.starttls import FeatureSTARTTLS
from slixmpp.features.feature_starttls.stanza import *

Unfortunalty then you will get errors for all the rest of the plugins and the features. You have to import them one by one.
