Extending Vikash Kumar's answer, build the application by adding the --hidden-import argument to the command.

Answer 3

this is because he did not copy a dependency.I solved it like this.

• pyinstaller my_program.py

this creates a my_program.spec. it is a base configuration file.

open it with any text editor. search for

hiddenimports=[]

edit to.

hiddenimports=["pkg_resources.py2_warn"]

now let's call pyinstaller passing our configured file instead of our program

• pyinstaller my_program.spec

Answer 4

pyinstaller --hidden-import=pkg_resources.py2_warn --onefile example.py

you can use this really it works no need to install or uninstall anything just use this it will create one file only , below code will not create the black window also if you are creating a Tkinter application mainly

 pyinstaller --hidden-import=pkg_resources.py2_warn --onefile --noconsole example.py

Answer 5

Adding the line:

import pkg_resources.py2_warn

to my code helped.
