Including google bigquery python lib in pyinstaller

I have a python script that starts as follows:

from google.cloud import bigquery

This package is installed with:

pip install google-cloud-bigquery --upgrade

Im under the impression that pyinstaller should find all of the required packages and install them but when I run the created .exe on windows or executable on mac, I get the error message:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'google-cloud-core' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Here is my .spec file, please tell me where I can put google-cloud-core so that the correct packages are installed.

# -*- mode: python -*-

block_cipher = None


a = Analysis(['tests.py'],
         pathex=['/Users/daniellee/Development/alice-connectors/aconn'],
         binaries=[],
         datas=[],
         hiddenimports=[],
         hookspath=[],
         runtime_hooks=[],
         excludes=[],
         win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
         win_private_assemblies=False,
         cipher=block_cipher)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
         cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
      a.scripts,
      a.binaries,
      a.zipfiles,
      a.datas,
      name='tests',
      debug=False,
      strip=False,
      upx=True,
      console=True )

Thanks in advance.

So this is how I got it to work.

Use a hook file, named hook-google.cloud.bigquery that contains:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata

datas = copy_metadata('google-cloud-bigquery')
datas += copy_metadata('google-cloud-core')

Then add the path to this hook file to your .spec file.

 ...
 hookspath=['/Users/joesoap/Development/project/hooks']
 ...

Hope this helps someone.
