tkcalendar is not packable in any Python to executable system.

[apocalypse2012]

@VShkaberda The issue is not directly related to tkcalendar, it comes from the fact that Pyinstaller does not detect second level imports. There is a solution to fix it by giving explicit import instructions to Pyinstaller. Since not everybody using tkcalendar uses Pyinstaller I won't add unnecessary imports into tkcalendar's code.

I am having this same problem and the posted fix is not working.

pyinstaller --hidden-import babel.numbers main.py

This does not fix the problem. I don't know what has changed, but it is no-longer possible to workaround this.

Python 3.8.5 pip 21.2.4 from p:\documents\depot\autosuspendprocess\venv\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.8) tkcalendar 1.6.1 pyinstaller 4.5.1

Error message: (venv) P:\Documents\Depot\autosuspendprocess>dist\main\main Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 1, in import View File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 546, in exec_module File "View.py", line 3, in from tkcalendar import DateEntry ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkcalendar' [11492] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!

I am still trying to work through this. I am working in Pycharm building in a python virtual environment. I have read all the documentation. I am following all the guidance. Individually and collectively.

Here is my commandline: pyinstaller --clean --onefile --windowed --hidden-import babel.numbers main.spec

Relevant Inline logs: 8398 INFO: Analyzing main.py 8773 INFO: Processing pre-safe import module hook urllib3.packages.six.moves from 'y:\users\rstewart\appdata\local\programs\python\python3 8-32\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks\pre_safe_import_module\hook-urllib3.packages.six.moves.py'. 10509 INFO: Analyzing hidden import 'babel.numbers' 10510 ERROR: Hidden import 'babel.numbers' not found

I have both babel.numbers and tkcalendar in the hidden imports of the spec file. I am explicitly importing both in my main.py script. I don't know what else to do except try a different executable packaging solution. That's too bad, because I was hopeful about pyinstaller.

Oh... I didn't look at the last update on this project. Apparently this has not been maintained in two years. Another dead project.

It looks like Py2Exe, nuitka, none of them with package this monster. What did you do to make this impossible to include?

pyinstaller.exe --hidden-import babel.numbers --windowed VideoAudioCaptureFrontend_V4.py not working, could you please help us to resolve the issue

Traceback (most recent call last): File "VideoAudioCaptureFrontend_V4.py", line 16, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkcalendar'

in source fileia hve added hiddenimports=["tkinter.ttk", "tkinter.font", "babel.numbers" , "tkcalendar"] as well still i am getting same issue as mentioned above

[VantaTree]

I was able to get tkcalendar into an exe with pyinstaller by adding data: --add-data "<path to python>/Lib/site-packages/tkcalendar;tkcalendar" --add-data "<path to python>/Lib/site-packages/babel;babel"

This included babel/numbers.py which seemed to solve the problem, or you can manually copy-paste it from site-packages (no need to add data babel).
