How do you resolve 'hidden imports not found!' warnings in pyinstaller for scipy?

Question

I\'m working on using pyinstaller to create an .exe for a python program that uses pandas and sklearn. The pyinstaller process completes and produces the dist folder with th

You need to go into the hook-scipy.py (or create one) and have it look like this:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files
hiddenimports = collect_submodules('scipy')

datas = collect_data_files('scipy')

then go into the hook-sklearn.metrics.cluster.py file and modify it to look like this:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files

hiddenimports = ['sklearn.utils.sparsetools._graph_validation',
                 'sklearn.utils.sparsetools._graph_tools',
                 'sklearn.utils.lgamma',
                 'sklearn.utils.weight_vector']

datas = collect_data_files('sklearn')

I do not know if this part is necessary but I also created a hook-sklearn.py file that looks like this:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
hiddenimports = collect_submodules('sklearn')

In the cmd I used pyinstaller test.py -F to create one file.

Then it should work:
