Incompatibility between kivy garden matplotlib and pyinstaller

[Patricklevyy]

Hello, is there any incompatibility between a kivy garden matplotlib and pyinstaller? I have a kivy application that uses the module kivy.garden.matplotlib.backend_kivyagg. When I test my program it works fine but once converted into an executable (.exe) I get this error below. I'm using a virtual environment and I've checked that the module is correctly installed. I also run the pyinstaller command in the same viral environment.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 6, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kivy.garden.matplotlib.backend_kivyagg'

I use:

Kivy==2.2.1
Kivy-Garden==0.1.5
kivy-garden.graph==0.4.0
kivy-matplotlib-widget==0.6.1
kivymd==1.1.1
matplotlib==3.7.2
pyinstaller==5.6.2

Thank you for your help.

What does line 5 in myapp\curve_drawing.py look like?

I did it

Can you also do a clean build without --debug=all and without -w, and upload build and dist for that?

Aha, so your use of --debug=all (which implies --debug noarchive) is actually masking another issue:

>main
[5936] Module object for pyimod02_importers is NULL!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 22, in <module>
  File "pathlib.py", line 14, in <module>
  File "urllib\parse.py", line 40, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyimod02_importers'
[5936] Failed to execute script 'pyiboot01_bootstrap' due to unhandled exception!

which is caused by you using an old version of PyInstaller (5.6.2) with python >= 3.11.4 (#7692). Can you try updating PyInstaller to at least 5.12 or modifying your local copy of 5.6.2 to add 'ipaddress' to PY3_BASE_MODULES list in PyInstaller.compat (here).

Then rebuild, again without --debug=all (which you should never use, really), and for now without -w as well. Then run the executable from the cmd. If it still doesn't work, upload the build and dist directories again.
