Pyinstaller doesn't launch my .exe (no module 'pydantic.deprecated.decorator' )

Question

I compiled my code with pyinstaller to make a .exe but when I launch it, it told me the module 'pydantic.deprecated.decorator' wasn't found. that seems logic because I have nothing with that name. So I don't know what to do to solve this issue

I already tried to reinstal pydantic

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

pydantic_core._pydantic_core.PydanticCustomError: Invalid python path: No module named 'pydantic.deprecated.decorator'

Answer 1

I have faced a similar error message. What has fixed it for me was to add hidden imports.

With the following hidden imports that problem went away:

pyinstaller --hidden-import=pydantic --hidden-import=pydantic-core --hidden-import=pydantic.deprecated.decorator app.py

The langchain modules use pydantic under the hood and without the hidden imports it will not be able to find the modules. At least that is my understanding at this point.
