How to solve ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openpyxl.cell._writer'?

I am trying to build an exe file for the GUI that I created using python POyqt5. After completing the process, I try to launch the UI and I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main_3.py", line 14, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openpyxl.cell._writer'
[13336] Failed to execute script 'main_3' due to unhandled exception!
I have openpyxl installed and I have also got it imported in my python script. Still, this error remains. Any leads on solving this will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Assuming you are creating the .exe with pyinstaller, try:
pyinstaller YOUR_FILE.py --hidden-import openpyxl.cell._writer
It lets pyinstaller know that openpyxl.cell._writer must be imported. It seems like this module import is done in a "hidden" way in your Python script. Therefore, it is not visible for pyinstaller and must be mentioned explicitly.

downgrade openpyxl to version 3.0.9 will also help. it works for me.
pip unistall openpyxl
pip install openpyxl=3.0.9

converted py to exe using pyinstaller but when run it getting openpyxl module missing?

I did pyinstaller --onefile main.py in command prompt
This made the exe in a folder called dist where my project is which I then ran in command prompt and got the error below:

[2500] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!
I'm using python version 3.10 - i coded this program in a virtual environment where i have all the modules. When i run pip list it shows I do have openpyxl 3.0.10.
I saw a suggestion to try update the auto generated spec file and use hidden_imports variable for the modules that are missing - so I followed a video online which advised to update lines so had below added/amended:
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
hidden_imports = collect_submodules('openpyxl')
hiddenimports=hidden_imports,
I got the exact same error after trying this.
The program runs fine when in PyCharm but not when run this exe I've created. I also made sure to try run using the terminal in PyCharm too. Any ideas why I'm still getting this error?

When you open the dist folder, do you see the openpyxl module? If not, try to do it via the add-data or hidden-import. Or even easier, just copy paste it manually and see if that works. Like pyinstaller file.py --hidden-import=openpyxl
You could either try updating your pyhooks-contrib as it could have been fixed

ImportError: No module named decorator after making executable with pyinstaller

I am trying to make an executebale out of a .py script I have, in a virtual environment with pyinstaller. however after making my executeable with pyinstaller --onefile myprogram.py when running the resulting myprogram.exe from command prompt, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

decorator is installed in the env I'm working in so that is not the problem (python 2.7.17, pyinstaller 3.5, windows 10, anaconda)
thanks in advance!

Pip is broken and I don't have admin permission

I have poured about 6 hours into this issue now and I'm getting farther and farther. Here's what happened.
I am using a shared Linux machine that has both Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 and I don't have admin privileges. I was using Python 3.5 and I wanted to use the package seaborn and I found out the specific labeling feature I wanted was only available in a newer version. So no problem "pip3 install seaborn --upgrade".
Everything was happening so fast but something went wrong and by the suggestion of the internet, I ended up upgrading a few other packages like matplotlib, setuptools, and eventually pip itself.
Here's where it really went wrong. Pip just broke. This happens when I run pip3 --version:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored
__import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The first line in the call stack is "from pip import main" so I tried running pip --version instead of pip3 and now I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name main
This error is all over the internet as a bug in pip itself but all every solution involves something that I don't have permission to do. I tried to uninstall and reinstall an older version of pip using "python -m pip ..." but this did not help with the pip3 error, which prompted the same error a few lines later. And I can't use this shortcut with pip3 (python3 -m pip...) because this error occurs anyway.
Worst part is that my original program is now completely dead. I can't even import seaborn at all without crashing.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/u/hailey/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 861, in __setitem__
cval = self.validate[key](val)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

KeyError: 'axes.color_cycle is not a valid rc parameter. See rcParams.keys() for a list of valid parameters.'
At this point, I decided everything would be easier if I just downloaded my own clean version of Python in a local directory where I have privileges. So I downloaded and set up a new version of Python 3.6 in a local directory. Then I ran my original program with this and I was told I had no module named 'numpy'. Reasonable. Let's try to install numpy.
Obtaining file:///u/hailey/python36/Python-3.6.0
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named machinery
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /u/hailey/python36/Python-3.6.0/
Now I'm led to a page that recommends running "setup.py install", which sounds simple enough. But nope.
bash: /u/hailey/python36/Python-3.6.0/setup.py: Permission denied
Now I'm giving up because evidently I know nothing about Python. I would really appreciate some help with this. At this point, even just recovering the state I had yesterday would be fine as I can live without the extra label on my seaborn graph. Thanks everyone!

Tensorflow-gpu with pyinstaller

Trying to distribute a program that relies on tensorflow...
Using tensorflow it works nicely both as script and with pyinstaller.
Using tensorflow-gpu it works as script but not with pyinstaller.
The cuda and cudnn dlls have been copied into the bundle folder by pyinstaller.
I use python 3.6.5 and tensorflow 1.7.0. (Can change version if it helps...)

[10816] Failed to execute script interface

Make sure you are also packaging MSVCP140.DLL, as missing this from the %PATH% can throw this error.
I tend to use cx_Freeze instead of pyinstaller when distributing tensorflow applications. Once you overcome the error cx_Freeze has with scipy, it's simpler overall.

Maybe this can help. I manually rename the file _pywrap_tensorflow_internal.pyd to tensorflow.python._pywrap_tensorflow_internal.pyd in the dist folder. Everything works.

I fixed this problem by making dirs as ".../dist/[MmyPyName]/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.pyd"
tensorflow-gpu = 1.10.0
python = 3.6.2
cuda = 9.0
cudnn = 7.3.0

When installing it with pyinstaller, make sure that in the .spec file include this as hidden import:
hiddenimports=['tensorflow.python._pywrap_tensorflow_internal',],
This will include the missing module in the correct path.
