Streamlit distribution not found in pyinstaller executable program

I made a streamlit application to act as a front end for a forecasting program and then I created a pyinstaller executable file to run the application. The problem rises when I run the executable file, I get the following error: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'streamlit' distribution was not found and is required by the application with this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 8, in <module>
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 968, in _find_and_load

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'streamlit' distribution was not found and is required by the application
[48095] Failed to execute script main

The file was created with the following command: pyinstaller --onefile -w main.py

This was setup on macOS Catalina with python 3.5.6 within a Conda environment

If there are any details that I may have missed that would help with this, please let me know.

Looks like you need to add a hook file called hook-streamlit.py with the following contents

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata

datas = copy_metadata('streamlit')

You also need to pass the --additional-hooks-dir flag to your pyinstaller command.

If you've placed the hook file in the same directory as your python script you can specify it like so

pyinstaller --onefile --additional-hooks-dir=. -w main.py
