pyinstaller cannot import aiohttp

[karamjaber]

Long story short

I wrote some big software in Python and now i want to build a one executable file that will run it all.
To build this executable i used pyinstaller .
It worked fine until i used aiohttp module, for some reason it doesn't recognize it

Expected behaviour

To build the aiohttp as part of the executable

Actual behaviour

After creating the executable and trying to run it i get the message
"ImportError: No module named 'aiohttp'"

Steps to reproduce

A file that contains

import aiohttp
print("hello word")

Then try to make an executable file from this python file

Your environment

Python 3
Any windows

Sorry, but executable building is out of aiohttp scope.
The project has nothing special from this perspective.
IIRC you need enumerate missed top level packages in your setup.py. cf_Freeze supports build_exe_options for example.

@karamjaber you could also add aiohttp to hiddenimports in your spec file. ie

hiddenimports=['aiohttp'],
