PyInstaller file fails to execute script - DistributionNotFound

Question

I\'m trying to convert my python file to an executable using PyInstaller. The program uses the Google Cloud Translate API to translate given text between languages. When run

Answer 1

It is basically package building name issue. Pyinstaller tries to import

google.cloud

where Google cloud package is now called

gcloud

. So you need to create a hook file for that names

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks\hook-gcloud.py

File contents:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata

datas = copy_metadata('gcloud')
