ModuleNotFoundError with pyinstaller but fine in Pycharm

Question

I'm trying to convert a .py project to an .exe file using the using the Auto Py To Exe which uses the pyinstaller.

Running my code inside pycharm I get no errors. Running the .exe file i'm getting the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "objectGui.py", line 6, in <module>
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scipy'
    [19724] Failed to execute script objectGui

I've tried adding following bit of code to the conversion

--hidden-import scipy

This does not change the error I keep getting.

Any suggestions?

pip install scipy might work for you.!! Or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24808043/importerror-no-module-named-scipy might help — Kartheek, Feb 19 '20 at 15:22
I have scipy installed. The script runs just fine before I try to convert it into an .exe. Or am I missing something? — Oskar Tengberg, Feb 20 '20 at 06:41

I have found the solution in this post.

Since I worked on my project in an environment (PyCharm) I needed to type in the command in the PyCharm terminal for it to work. I also added the hidden import:

  --hidden-import scipy

to find the module and it worked!
