ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyttsx3.drivers' (File Compiled with pyinstaller), but working fine as uncompiled

I compiled my program using pyinstaller, python file working fine when not compiled, but throwing the error when i compiled & tested it.

This is the full error, I think this might be because of pyinstaller

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\pyttsx3\__init__.py", line 20, in init
  File "c:\python37\lib\weakref.py", line 137, in __getitem__
    o = self.data[key]()
KeyError: 'sapi5'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Solution

  • Take a look at When things went wrong section of the docs And in particular, the Listing hidden imports

    It looks like pyinstaller is not able to "know" it need to add this particular module, so you need to specify it explicitly

    probably something like

    $ pyinstaller --hidden-import=pyttsx3.drivers song_dl.py
