If anyone found the same problem. In tkcalendar 1.5.0 there is problem with import in calendar.py.

Locate the tkcalendar folder (probably /.../python/Lib/site-packages/tkcalendar) and under calendar.py add an additional import for the missing module:

import calendar

$ pyinstaller --hidden-import babel.numbers myscript.py

or by editing the .spec file:

hiddenimports=["babel.numbers"]
