I get this error when I build the program with pyinstaller -F main.py The program works perfectly fine when I run the code in Visual Studio Code.

I tried installing tinycss2 with pip install But it was already installed.

My project imports are:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5 import *
from PyQt5.QtPrintSupport import QPrintDialog, QPrinter
from PyQt5 import uic, QtCore, QtWidgets, QtPrintSupport, QtGui
from functools import partial
from dxf2svg.pycore import save_svg_from_dxf, extract_all
from svglib.svglib import svg2rlg
from reportlab.graphics import renderPM
from shutil import copyfile
import sys, os, json, cv2, time, threading,ezdxf, imutils
import numpy as np

You need to write hooks for tinycss2 and cssselect2 because PyInstaller isn't bundling them properly.

So first, create a directory called hooks in the same directory as your script:

- myfile.py
- hooks
  - hook-cssselect2.py
  - hook-tinycss2.py

Then, inside both of the hook files - they need to be identical - copy the following text:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files


def hook(hook_api):
    hook_api.add_datas(collect_data_files(hook_api.__name__))

Then, when building, add the option --additional-hooks-dir=hooks.

Where exactly do I find these `hook-tinycss2.py` and `hook-cssselect2.py` files, or even `tinycss2.py` and `cssselect2.py`? I can't seem to find them anywhere in my python `lib/sitepackages` directory or my virtual enviroment. – JareBear Apr 30 '20 at 15:50
@JareBear you have to make them... Maybe you didn't understand. I've edited with more info – Legorooj Apr 30 '20 at 23:58

Oh thats what you mean! Sorry my bad, I had thought you meant to add the code to my main script, and not inside the 2 new ones that need to be made! I will try that, and get back to you. Thank you so much – JareBear May 01 '20 at 01:46
