Hi.

I have a problem when I launch the app.

 File "D:\Program Files\Python\Lib\site-packages\auto_py_to_exe\utils.py", line 10, in <module>
    import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

You wrote :

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named x / ImportError: No module named x
This means a particular module ('x' in this case) was not added to the package. I have seen this occur with packages in the pandas library and win32api; as long as you can identify the package (e.g. 'x'), then it is very easy to fix.

To fix this in the UI, open the advanced tab and find the --hidden-import input. Simply paste the module name into this input and then repackage. If the original error is still appearing, you have done this incorrectly.


For example, if you are missing pandas._libs.tslib, add 'pandas._libs.tslib' into the input by --hidden-import. Additionally, you can add more than one module, for example, pandas._libs.tslib, win32api. (See the question mark by the input for more information)."

I'm noob, and don't you know what to do with your help !

Thanks for reply and thanks for support.

Thanks for raising this, looks like we missed requests in setup.py from #469 - will put out a new release now

This should be fixed in auto-py-to-exe 2.43.1 - you can use python -m pip install auto-py-to-exe --upgrade to upgrade auto-py-to-exe.

Again, thank you very much for raising this!
