pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'workalendar' distribution was not found and is required by the application

[660] Failed to execute script wctest

So it's this tiny bit here in workalendar's __init__ causing the issue. Namely that what it's trying to do doesn't work frozen.

https://github.com/peopledoc/workalendar/blob/master/workalendar/__init__.py

I can give you this temporary monkey wrench fix. Replace your import of workalendar with:

# Define a fake pkg_resources that has the structure needed so as not
# not to raise an error in workalendar's __init__
class pkg_resources(object):
    def get_distribution(package):
        return Foo
   
class Foo:
    version = None

# inject it into the module cache so that it is found rather than the original
import sys
sys.modules["pkg_resources"] = pkg_resources

from workalendar.asia import Taiwan

# Clear up the mess we've made incase we need the real pkg_resources for something else.
del sys.modules["pkg_resources"]

But it's a very hacky fix. I'd raise an issue with workalendar and ask them to change their __init__.

pkg_resourses is a horrible dependency anyway because it takes so long to load and they are using

it to do something very minor.
