Textwrap3 import issue with pyinstaller

[hassankhalid55]

Hi,

I am getting the following import error while trying to create a standalone executable of my project using pyinstaller. I have already tried specifying the textwrap3 (dependency used by console menu) as a hidden import in a hook file for console menu, but it is not working.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 4, in <module> File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "consolemenu\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "consolemenu\items\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "consolemenu\console_menu.py", line 9, in <module> File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "consolemenu\menu_formatter.py", line 3, in <module> File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "consolemenu\menu_component.py", line 1, in <module> File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "ansiwrap\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "ansiwrap\core.py", line 11, in <module> File "imp.py", line 296, in find_module ImportError: No module named 'textwrap3' [34192] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!

Using this command to create a standalone exe, pyinstaller -n TextFileConversionUtility main.py --onefile --additional-hooks-dir=./hooks

This issue is actually caused by the ansiwrap package (issue #6). However, console-menu v0.7.1 provides a workaround, to fall back to textwrap if the ansiwrap import fails. The unfortunate downside to this is that ansi colors will no longer wrap properly when using PyInstaller. (Non PyInstaller environments will continue working properly.) When/if ansiwrap provides a proper fix, this workaround can be removed.
