# ModuleNotFoundError: No Module name 'pkg_resources.extern'

[exe22]

Describe the bug

I'm using ofscraper_windows_3.11.4.exe

The script crashes during start-up with the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "PyInstaller\hooks\rthooks\pyi_rth_pkgres.py", line 158, in File "PyInstaller\hooks\rthooks\pyi_rth_pkgres.py", line 36, in pyi_rthook File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module File "pkg_resources_init.py", line 90, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources.extern' [40196] Failed to execute script 'pyi_rth_pkgres' due to unhandled exception!

Troubleshooting

I tried to install setuptools via pip install setuptools but it didn't help.

This error doesn't occur with v3.11

System Info

• OS: Windows 11
• Version: 3.11.4
• python
• python version 3.12.4

in windows, since "setuptools" was updated they no longer open the exes

use the pip version:

pip install ofscraper

[Puk0]

pip install ofscraper --upgrade or pip uninstall ofscraper and then pip install ofscraper

I'll make an announcement on discord once these are working again, and in here

I tried the pip version but it reset my config file. Did the format change? I was using 3.11.1 before. It's removing the cdm options (I use my own keys).

in some versions it changes; just put "manual" and the paths of your two files, and ffmpeg

But manual isn't to download specific posts (with URL)? Or do you mean in the config file?

This was broken on Linux when I tested as well I'm not sure when, I don't use the execs

I recommend just using pipx if you really want multiple version of the script I'll spend time looking into this more in the future
