Expected behavior

prettytable should be integrated correctly.

reference

There is a discussion regarding this issue in pyinstaller repository.

Adding a specific import hook for pyinstaller should fix this:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_all

datas, binaries, hiddenimports = collect_all('prettytable')

Adding a specific folder that will contain those hooks to address further similar issues will be a good idea.
