Question

I have written a python script that uses cvlib library, when i run the code as a python scrept it works fine, however; when i converted the code into an exe file, everything seems to work fine, apart from importing cvlib library.

The error shows up like the follwoing:

Python

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'cvlib' distribution was not found and is required by the application

What I have tried:

I tried to use --hidden-import=cvlib and --additional-hooks-dir=, I also tried many other techniques to include the path but it did work

Most likely the process that created the exe did not properly include the library. Or the library must be installed in some specific location. You should check the documentation for the product you are using to create the exe file.

I figured out what the problem was, Pyinstaller is not sometimes able to include some libraries that we import in our .py file. When Pyinstaller creates the .exe file, it agnores some imports, so the solution is to copy the folder of these imports, For example, cvlib forlder and paste it in the same location as your .exe file.
