[BUG] `[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.pyarmor/pack/PYZ-00.pyz_extracted/pyarmor_runtime_005695/__init__.pyc'`

[printpal-io]

I am trying to pack my script and protect the runtime memory as specified here: https://pyarmor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/protection.html#

I am using the following command:

pyarmor -d gen --mix-str --assert-call --assert-import --private --pack dist/main/main main.py

In my directory that has the original structure (before calling pyinstaller main.py):

/src
  main.py
  pw/
    script1.py 
    ...
    scriptN.py

I get the following error:

This bug will be fixed in next version.

Please use pyarmor gen --pack onedir ... directly, I have update this section https://pyarmor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/protection.html

Using this new documentation and the packing works, but when trying to run the packed executable I get the following error:

File "PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module
  File "pyarmor_runtime_005695/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
RuntimeError: this license key is not for this machine (1:10332)

My license shows as valid (pro version).

Do not obfuscate pyarmor_runtime_005695/__init__.py

And Pyarmor license is only used for pyarmor gen, not for running obfuscated scripts.

I suggest reading the topic understanding obfuscated scripts
