I've begun using Pyinstaller over Py2Exe. However I've rather quickly run into a problem. How do I exclude modules that I don't want, and how do I view the ones that are getting included into the single executable file?

I can remove some pyd and dll files from the DLL folder in my Python installation so Pyinstaller doesn't find and therefore doesn't include them. I don't really want to be doing that with all the modules as it will get quite arduous.

I did try edit the spec file that Pyinstaller makes.

a.binaries - [('ssl','pydoc',)],

But the size of the file remained the same so I conclude that didn't work.

So how can I see what modules Pyinstaller are including and how do I exclude those that I do not want?

python pyinstaller
