python - convertng py to exe using pyinstaller with googleapiclient

Question

Hi I have a problem with converting my python file to exe. I have a error:

  File "s.py", line 6, in <module><br>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'<br>
[17760] Failed to execute script s

Line 6 is:
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

When i install googleapiclient in the desame folder where the python file is i get this thing:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer 1

I have also encountered this error before. To fix this you need to go to build your exe, then go to site-packages folder inside lib folder, so for me its:

C:Users - Your User - AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython39Libsite-packages

There you need to locate your module - googleapiclient - (it should be a folder) and copy it to your dist folder where the exe is stored.
