Hi!
I can't build the following code:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.val = val

def main():
    f = Foo("success")
    print f.val

if __name__=="__main__":
    main()

NameError: global name 'Foo' is not defined

Have I missed something or do I have to put Foo in Foo.py and import
it?

It works for me... is your a PyInstaller-only problem or a Python
problem? Can you provide the full traceback?

It's a PyInstaller problem only. I have no problem running the code.
I have only tested on windows so far.

I found the error now ;-)
I should RTFM when I'm not tired.

Thanx for your time.

I need your help. how did you solve this problem?

The error was that I ran Build.py on my python source code file and
not on the generated specfile.

Maybe a specfile check in Build.py would be a nice feature.
