Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/brentvollebregt/auto-py-to-exe/issues/207

I'm using Python 3.9.5. I wrote a script that will display a notification after starting the .exe, but when I tried to start it, it gives me this error:

  File "svatky.py", line 14, in <module>
    toast.show_toast("Dnes má svátek", dnes, duration=5)
  File "win10toast\__init__.py", line 127, in show_toast
  File "win10toast\__init__.py", line 93, in _show_toast
  File "pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 1130, in resource_filename
  File "pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 342, in get_provider
  File "pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 886, in require
  File "pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 772, in resolve
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'win10toast' distribution was not found and is required by the application

It worked as a script in terminal. Do you know where it issues could be?

Looks like win10toast is something you should add as a hidden import

This does not look like an issue with auto-py-to-exe but the library you are using.

Searching for pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'win10toast' distribution was not found and is required by the application in Google came up with this: jithurjacob/Windows-10-Toast-Notifications#25 - I recommend you take a look at the issue.

@brentvollebregt you may want to consider adding support for some of PyInstaller's new options. This issue should in theory be fixed by adding --copy-metadata=win10toast to the command.

@Legorooj thanks heaps for the tip. I can't see --collect-metadata as a valid argument, maybe you meant --copy-metadata or one of the other --collect-X args?

@brentvollebregt my bad, I did mean --copy-metadata haha. I keep calling it the wrong thing because all the others are named differently. Edited my previous comment.
