Hi, I have a very simple program, that is

import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
engine.say("HI sir, I am alright")
engine.runAndWait()

Now after converting this to exe, I noticed that the program was not running. On running the same exe file through command prompt, in order to get the reason why the program was not able to run, I got the following error message:

C:\Users\Hp\output>fun\fun.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pyttsx3\__init__.py", line 20, in init
  File "weakref.py", line 134, in __getitem__
KeyError: None

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fun.py", line 2, in <module>
  File "pyttsx3\__init__.py", line 22, in init
  File "pyttsx3\engine.py", line 30, in __init__
  File "pyttsx3\driver.py", line 50, in __init__
  File "importlib\__init__.py", line 127, in import_module

  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 984, in _find_and_load_unlocked
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyttsx3.drivers'
[9520] Failed to execute script fun

I even typed pyttsx3 in the hidden import section, but the same error appeared.

I have pyttsx3 installed on my laptop, and the program was running well on vscode, but the following error occurred after converting it to an exe file. I am confused about what to do now, kindly help me to overcome this problem.

I needed to write pyttsx3.drivers in hidden imports which I did not write. The problem has now been solved, hence closing this issue. (Please refer to last lines of this solution)
