does not work with PyInstaller

See original GitHub issue

I wanted to use the nicer traceback of this application for one of my projects. Unfortunately I can’t get this to run on Windows. I have to put the application into an exe and get problems with the import of rich. Once I insert this source code into my program, I cannot start it after the packing process.

from rich.traceback import install
install()

I get the following error message on the console.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "venv\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\rthooks\pyi_rth_pkgres.py", line 13, in <module>
    import pkg_resources as res
  File "c:\users\vmuser\pycharmprojects\logdings\venv\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 623, in exec_module
    exec(bytecode, module.__dict__)
  File "lib\site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 86, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources.py2_warn'
[5020] Failed to execute script pyi_rth_pkgres

Since @pyinstaller is a very big project, I wanted to ask here first how to get it running.
