trying to single exe package app that uses google api client

[Rob Crouch]

I have a python program which I've successfully packaged up as a single exe using pyinstaller in the past. Recently I added new features which make use of the google api python client ( https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/ ). I've attempted to make a new single exe package of the new version and it fails to run.

I enable debugging and the console and initially the issue was that it hadn't picked up the oauth lib. I fixed that by adding the following to my spec file:

hiddenimports=['googleapiclient', 'apiclient']

When I build I can see this:

53092 INFO: Hidden import 'googleapiclient' has been found otherwise

53093 INFO: Hidden import 'apiclient' has been found otherwise

However, now when I run the rebuilt exe I get the following error before it exits:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: google-api-python-client

I can't see any reference to that and I'm not sure how to force it to be packaged up with the exe.

I figure I can't be the only person to have ever wanted to package up a python program that makes use of the google api, but I failed to find any help during a lot of time with my friend google...

Any tips?
