In skimage/io/_plugins/plugin.py, skimage will try to read its plugins from files in the following manner:</p> <pre><code>pd = os.path.dirname(__file__) ini = glob(os.path.join(pd, '*.ini')) </code></pre> <p>However, <strong>file</strong> evaluates to a non-existent (and seemingly randomly named) directory. Now, skimage needs it's plugin files (.ini and .py) to be included in the bundle and then when run, needs to look for them within the bundle. I guess the first bit could be done by collecting data files but the second part?</p>
