Exception ImportError: 'No module named sys' in <bound method SingleInstance.__del__... about tendo HOT 6 CLOSED

I have not idea why import sys would ever fail, seems really weird.

Do you have any idea how to fix it? @ssbarnea

This happens with Python 2.7.11 installed from Homebrew on Mac OS as of today.

Are you able to reproduce it with the example I gave? If so, what's your environment?

from tendo.

I just did a pip install tendo and when I used pyinstaller to compile an exe of my python code ... I got this same error. Fortunately, the error also says "ignored" and my exe is still created and still appears to work correctly with the tendo logic.

For what it's worth: I add the same error and explicitly calling del instance fixed the problem.

That being said, IMHO relying on __init__ and __del__ is not the correct approach for such a task, it would be much better to work with with statements instead.

I am going to close this bug but I will reopen it if you can provide a snippet to reproduce it but not one that does run code inside the __init__.py of a module, something that may endup executed while the module is installed, which is very-very wrong.

Many things changed since original bug was raise which makes me think is safe to close.
