Support for PyInstaller

[Georglider]

I have encountered with ImportError while I was converting my python program to windows executable file:

import 'typing' # <pyimod03_importers.FrozenImporter object at 0x000001B8CE46BD90>
# winrt._winrt not found in PYZ
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name '_winrt' from 'winrt' (unknown location)
[28012] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!

I have tried including winrt._winrt as hiddenimports param, but it didn't change anything. Is there anything that I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

Can you please provide all of the step required to reproduce the issue?

Here's the code for reproduction. It turns on your mobile hotspot and prints whether it was successful or not

import asyncio
import winrt.windows.networking.networkoperators as no
import winrt.windows.networking.connectivity as co

async def enable():
  try:
    info = co.NetworkInformation.get_internet_connection_profile()
    manager = no.NetworkOperatorTetheringManager.create_from_connection_profile(info)
    state = manager.tethering_operational_state
    if state == no.TetheringOperationalState.ON:
      return "WAS ALREADY ENABLED"
    elif state == no.TetheringOperationalState.OFF:
      ioAsync = await manager.start_tethering_async()
      if ioAsync.status == 0:
        return "SUCCESSFULLY ENABLED"
      return "COULDN'T ENABLE:( " + ioAsync.additional_error_message
    elif state == no.TetheringOperationalState.IN_TRANSITION:
      return "PROCESS..."
    else:
      return "SOMETHING WENT WRONG..."
  except:
    return "SOMETHING WENT WRONG... (EXCEPTION)"

async def main():
  info = await enable()
  print(info)

asyncio.run(main())

To make it an exe file I use: pyinstaller reproduction.py --onefile --paths \.venv\Lib\site-packages or pyinstaller reproduction.py --onefile --paths \.venv\Lib\site-packages --hidden-import winrt._winrt --debug=imports for debug logging And libraries list for winrt:

• winrt-runtime==2.0.0b2
• winrt-Windows.Foundation==2.0.0b2
• winrt-Windows.Networking.Connectivity==2.0.0b2
• winrt-Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators==2.0.0b2

I tried this today and was not able to reproduce the problem. The .exe created successfully.

pyinstaller --version
6.5.0
