I made a pygame application using PyInstaller but for some reason when I open it it raises the NotImplementedError, if found out that this error is being raised in the _has function on line 1663 of init.py in pkg-resources but i'm not sure why its being called. I tried to trace it back as far as I can and so far i cant find and connection between pkg-resources and pygame. The exe worked with the previous version, which didn't include text so i tried importing pygame._view but that didn't work. I only get this error with the executable, when running it in visual studio or the python IDE it works perfectly. Here is my game code:

I also tried pasting the pygame folder with freesansbold.ttf but that didn't work either. The error messages shows as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError: Can't perform this operation for unregistered loader type [696] Failed to execute script DVD
I will be doing as much as can to find out why this is happening, as help is appreciated. I can also put the files on GitHub if need be.
I finally figured it out, I had to save the ttf file in the same directory as the code. This works for compiling the application into a folder, but for one file you have to change the code.
def rp(relative_path):
""" Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
try:
# PyInstaller creates a temp folder and stores path in _MEIPASS
base_path = sys._MEIPASS
except Exception:
base_path = os.path.abspath(".")
return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)
upon adding this function you must call it with the name and extension of the file you wish to use, like:
rp('freesansbold.ttf')
to initialize the font just do this:
Font = p.font.Font(rp('freesansbold.ttf'), 12) #initializes font
it works to same for the images I was using too, but i had the take them out to the Sprites folder and package each picture individually with the program. Here's the spec file for Pyinstaller:
# -*- mode: python -*-
block_cipher = None
a = Analysis(['DVD.py'],
pathex=['C:\\Users\\Kaden\\Desktop\\dvd builds'],
binaries=[],
datas=[('./w.png', '.'), ('./b.png', '.'), ('./g.png', '.'), ('./o.png', '.'), ('./p.png', '.'), ('./p2.png', '.'), ('./y.png', '.'), ('./freesansbold.ttf', '.')],
hiddenimports=[],
hookspath=[],
runtime_hooks=[],
excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=block_cipher,
noarchive=False)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
[],
name='DVD',
debug=False,
bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
runtime_tmpdir=None,
console=False , icon='icon.ico')
then just call pyinstaller like you usually would:
pyinstaller DVD.spec
