MDAnalysis uncompatibility?

[dmarti1995]

I'm trying to use pyinstaller -F mycode.py and it has problems with this import from MDAnalysis import Universe. I tested all the imports one by one in a dummy hello.py and the only executable that can't run is the one importing MDAnalysis. Here I let the test hello.py written here.

from MDAnalysis import Universe

print('Hello world')

I use pyinstaller like pyinstaller -F hello.py and when I execute the program in the dist directory like:

cd dist
./hello

It returns me:

MDAnalysis/lib/transformations.py:1810: UserWarning: failed to import module _transformations

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MDAnalysis.lib.formats.cython_util'

I have tried to update MDAnalysis. I've tried to install it in all possible different ways from them Installation Guide. My version of pyinstaller is 4.10

Does anyone know how to solve this? It would be very helpful.

Thank you.

--hiddenimport MDAnalysis.lib.formats.cython_util. Or --collect-submodules MDAnalysis.lib.formats (or perhaps even --collect-submodules MDAnalysis if there are many indirect/lazy imports present, or if there are many compiled modules in the package).
