Pyinstaller issue

[poshl9k]

Describe the bug

After packaging app including VMware module, app cant start properly. Manual importing of that modules changed nothing I think issue is somewhere in hidden imports probably "settings" module importing dynamically somewhere in code

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 6, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vmware.vapi.settings'

Reproduction steps

1.Pack file including vmware-api with "pyinstaller --onefile *filename*" 
2.run *filename*.exe from "./dist" folder

Expected behavior

No import errors, like it was on debugging stage

Additional context

Maybe there are some hooks for pyinstaller? As there are lots of them for other packages.

update: After importing all modules it worked, but its so strange and ugly: maybe there's a way of automation that routine.
