Pyinstaller built application fails due to bad URLs

[wileecyte]

I have a Pyinstaller built application that uses astropy/astroquery to interact with simbad. My most recent build started to fail to launch due to
what appears to be bad URLs being used to download query_criteria_fields.json

urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error Unable to open any source! Exceptions were {'http://data.astropy.org/data/query_criteria_fields.json': <HTTPError 404: 'Not Found'>, 'http://www.astropy.org/astropy-data/data/query_criteria_fields.json': <HTTPError 404: 'Not Found'>}>
[PYI-737:ERROR] Failed to execute script 'root_app' due to unhandled exception!

We've implemented a workaround for now to pull the file from your github repository and insert it into our build.

Do you see this issue with the latest release, or also on the main branch?

Also, what are the astropy versions that you use?

[wileecyte]

We are using astropy 7.1.0 and astroquery 0.4.11.dev10199. I hadn't tried using any other versions of the library.

Hello,

Could be due to how the file is imported. Vizier does differently. Could you try if this works with pyinstaller?

from astroquery.vizier import Vizier
Vizier.valid_keywords

OrderedDict({'AGN': 'Astronomy', 'AKARI': 'Mission', 'ANS': 'Mission', 'ASCA': 'Mission', 'Abundances': 'Astronomy' [...]

This is also a json file imported in the module
