I'm trying to make an application that uses Google Drive API. I am converting my python file to an executable using PyInstaller. I ran the .exe file generated from the most basic python script and I got an error that says
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'google-api-python-client' distribution was not found and is required by the application
My code doesn't even use 'google-api-python-client', yet I installed it in my anaconda environment but I am still facing the same issue.
I am adding the code for reference:-
import pickle
import os
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
def Create_Service(client_secret_file, api_name, api_version, *scopes):
print(client_secret_file, api_name, api_version, scopes, sep='-')
CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = client_secret_file
API_SERVICE_NAME = api_name
API_VERSION = api_version
SCOPES = [scope for scope in scopes[0]]
print(SCOPES)
cred = None
pickle_file = f'token_{API_SERVICE_NAME}_{API_VERSION}.pickle'
print(pickle_file)
if os.path.exists(pickle_file):
with open(pickle_file, 'rb') as token:
cred = pickle.load(token)
if not cred or not cred.valid:
if cred and cred.expired and cred.refresh_token:
cred.refresh(Request())
else:
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, SCOPES)
cred = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
with open(pickle_file, 'wb') as token:
pickle.dump(cred, token)
try:
service = build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=cred)
print(API_SERVICE_NAME, 'service created successfully')
return service
except Exception as e:
print('Unable to connect.')
print(e)
return None
s=Create_Service('client_secret_kc.json','drive','v3',['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'])
The pyinstaller code I used to convert it into .exe is as follows
pyinstaller -c -F --add-data "client_secret_kc.json;." Google.py
NB- Google.py is the name of the python script gien above.
Thank you for helping.
