EDIT

I'm trying to import algosec.models in a file inside the algobot package.

I've tried to add --hidden-import algosec, I've also tried to add the path before importing, using sys.path.append(./../algosec) this is the error message I get when I try to run the program:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'algosec'

the folder structure is:

• algobot
  • algobot
  • algosec
  • algobot-packer
  • pyucwa

I'm using pyinstaller version 4.2 I didn't make any change in the code since the last time my executable file ran perfectly fine, but now I'm getting this error every time. the thing is - the folder 'algosec' is a subdirectory in my project, and it is noted in the pipfile and again, I didn't make any change in a while, and tested it recently (last tested in July 8th)), therefore I believe that it's a dependency issue but not sure which or how to solve.

I've tried some multiple changes that somehow worked on one run but when i tried to make these changes again it failed on other builds..
