generate an applet using py2app with PyQt5 dependencies errors

Question

Im using PyQT5 to make an applet that I wish to wrap with py2app.

While the app is working perfectly when I run it via pycharm, unfortunatly when I try to wrap it as python it fails to run.

So I created a simple case to simulate it. Something simple with a file picket and a text input that does nothing except show errors.

Still many dependencies are missing.

checking for any import problems
Modules not found (unconditional imports):
 * _io._WindowsConsoleIO (importlib._bootstrap_external)
 * _overlapped (asyncio.windows_events)
 * com (com.sun.jna)
 * com.jna (com.sun)
 * com.sun (com.sun.jna.platform)
 * jinja2 (pkg_resources._vendor.pyparsing.diagram)
 * pyparsing (pkg_resources._vendor.pyparsing.diagram)
 * railroad (pkg_resources._vendor.pyparsing.diagram)
 * win32com (win32com)
 * win32com.shell (win32com.shell)
 * win32com.shellcon (win32com.shell)

Modules not found (conditional imports):
 * _manylinux (pkg_resources._vendor.packaging._manylinux)
 * com (pkg_resources._vendor.appdirs)
 * com.sun.jna (pkg_resources._vendor.appdirs)
 * com.sun.jna.platform (pkg_resources._vendor.appdirs)
 * pep517 (importlib.metadata)
 * win32com (pkg_resources._vendor.appdirs)
 * win32com.shell (pkg_resources._vendor.appdirs)

Done!

When I use my real code that uses pandas and stuff I get lots more missing dependencies.

I have no idea what to do... All the threads I could find are years old.

Iuse: python 3.10.13 PyQt5. 5.15.10 py2app 0.28.7

I use pyenv and I am running the flow within my virtual env. I did find that my PYTHONPATH was empty.... but setting it to point to the env was not successful.

Please help Thanks

Here is the code:
