Runtimeerror: unable to open shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat

Question

1.00/5 (2 votes)

I'm encountering an issue while trying to execute a packaged Python application (using PyInstaller) that relies on the shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat file for face recognition.

What I have tried:

Despite manually including the file in the bundled package, I'm still receiving a "missing file" exception when running the executable. I've verified the file paths and permissions, but the problem persists.

Could anyone offer insights or suggestions on what might be causing this issue? Has anyone encountered similar challenges when packaging Python applications, and if so, how did you resolve them?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

You need to provide more details, including the code that fails, the actual error message(s), and the evidence that the "missing" file, is not missing.
