The 'google-api-python-client' distribution was not found and is required by the application with pyinstaller

Question

I am currently trying to build an app with pyinstaller. I have gotten the error The \'google-api-python-client\' distribution was not found and is required by the appl

Answer 1

I was able to find the solution here Link

Update your version of google-api-python-client to the version specified in the link (worked for me)

Also made a little .bat file:

pyinstaller --hidden-import="pkg_resources.py2_warn" --hidden-import="googleapiclient" --hidden-import="apiclient"  main.py --onefile

Also of note: I ran the bat file in a virtual environment.
