Converting py to exe takes a lot of time - issue with loading module hook 'hook-tensorflow.py'

[mkachlicka]

Hey,

How long (more or less) does it take for the app to convert a single py file? It's been almost an hour since it started, and there is no progress - it seems to be stuck on this message:
232562 INFO: Loading module hook 'hook-tensorflow.py' from '/Users/mkachlicka/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/_pyinstaller_hooks_contrib/hooks/stdhooks'...

The full output in the app is as follows:

Do you know if this is normal? It's hard to tell if anything went wrong here since I don't see any error messages or warnings along the way.

Update: I left it running for several hours now, but nothing changed, which is a pretty strong cue for me that something is definitely wrong. Would anyone be able to help with finding the source of the problem here? I'd very much appreciate that.

👋 Hi, just a reminder that if you haven't read the help post yet, give it a read to see if your issue is covered in it and make sure to follow the debugging section.

Also please note, as stated in the README, if your issue is only associated with your application and not auto-py-to-exe itself, please do not create an issue in this repository - instead, comment on the help post, video or create a new discussion.

If you run this outside Anaconda, do you still get the same result?

Oh wow, why it didn't occur to me earlier? Thank you so much for the suggestion! Running it outside Anaconda solved the issue, and the script was compiled successfully!
