FileNotFoundError grapheme_break_property.json when built as executable with PyInstaller

Hello, I am shipping executables with PyInstaller. Even though I’ve enabled hidden import for alive-progress/alive_progress, The executable throws the following error during runtime.

CLI Just add grapheme data like pyinstaller -F "Hello World.py" --collect-all grapheme

[controlado]

U have to run this pyi-makespec --onefile start.py in terminal with ur main.py file. After that, put that line in the spec file after a block code:

a.datas += Tree("<python_path>/Lib/site-packages/grapheme/", prefix= "grapheme") a.datas += Tree("<python_path>/lib/site-packages/about-time/", prefix= "about-time")

Like that:

a = Analysis(['script.py'],
             pathex=[],
             binaries=[],
             datas=[],
             hiddenimports=[],
             hookspath=[],
             runtime_hooks=[],
             excludes=[],
             win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
             win_private_assemblies=False,
             cipher=block_cipher,
             noarchive=False)
a.datas += Tree("<python_path>/Lib/site-packages/grapheme/", prefix= "grapheme")
a.datas += Tree("<python_path>/lib/site-packages/about-time/", prefix= "about-time")

Then, run pyinstaller spec file and that’s it!
