How Can I Fix "The 'google-api-python-client' distribution was not found and is required by the application"

[ghost]

I get an error while trying to package an app using tensorflow: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'google-api-python-client' distribution was not found and is required by the application

I ran pyinstaller {filename}.py which had import tensorflow

Looks like google-api-python-client is being pulled in because it's imported in some part of tensorflow (which you may or may not be actually using).

If you're not using google-api-python-client, try removing it from your environment (or build your program using a clean virtual environment with only required packages installed). Or try downgrading it to 1.8.0, as per googleapis/google-api-python-client#876.

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: name in PyInstaller translates to you need to use datas=copy_metadata("name"). See this nabble thread which does exactly the same thing for pycountry.

it works, but now i get Traceback (most recent call last): File "resonance.py", line 6, in <module> from magenta.models.performance_rnn import performance_sequence_generator File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "magenta/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "magenta/pipelines/drum_pipelines.py", line 19, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "note_seq/__init__.py", line 20, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "note_seq/audio_io.py", line 21, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "librosa/__init__.py", line 14, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "librosa/decompose.py", line 19, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "sklearn/decomposition/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "sklearn/decomposition/dict_learning.py", line 5, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "sklearn/decomposition/_dict_learning.py", line 21, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "sklearn/linear_model/__init__.py", line 11, in <module> File "/home/gitpod/.pyenv/versions/3.8.6/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 493, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.__dict__) File "sklearn/linear_model/_least_angle.py", line 23, in <module> File "sklearn/utils/arrayfuncs.pyx", line 1, in init sklearn.utils.arrayfuncs ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils._cython_blas' [16010] Failed to execute script resonance

Add sklearn.utils._cython_blas to hiddenimports in your spec file. (Or use --hidden-import sklearn.utils._cython_blas if you're directly building from .py file).

It took some time to do that but finally it works! Thank you both!
