SyntaxError with pyinstaller and apscheduler

[sprototles]

Hi
attaching issue from apscheduler here too, since there might be a bug in pyinstaller and not in apscheduler:
https://github.com/agronholm/apscheduler/issues/530

TLDR:
exe file gives an error, apscheduler devs thinks its because of pyinstaller

can you help me solve this issue ?

The initial syntax error was caused by something in your environment - asyncio should not have been in site-packages, as apscheduler dev pointed out. (My guess would be you had asyncio package installed, which is unnecessary since python 3.4 and might be actually incompatible with latest python versions, hence the syntax error).

The run-time pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound error is caused by missing metadata, which must be collected manually, for example by adding --copy-metadata tzlocal to your PyInstaller command. In order to get your test program running, I had to use --copy-metadata pytz --copy-metadata six --copy-metadata setuptools --copy-metadata tzlocal.

This is required by both apscheduler 3.7.0 as well as 3.6.3, so I wonder how our hook was tested against 3.6.3. Either way, it looks like we'll need to update it.

But in the meantime, you can collect that metadata manually, as shown above.

Cross-referencing agronholm/apscheduler#530 for the sake of completeness, as it seems that the reference was lost in the transfer of issue from main to this repository.
