Compiling exe with PyInstaller results in missing parts #1385
Description
Environment
- Python 3.12.2
- zeroconf.__version__ '0.132.2'
- Windows 11
Description
Launching an exe created by PyInstaller results in:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zeroconf._utils.ipaddress'
[11808] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!
- The exact same error happens if using import zeroconf.
- For some reason, the only file in the zeroconf/_utils folder is time.cp312-win_amd64.pyd (notice there is no ipaddress module there)

Ok, it turns out PyInstaller didn't find parts of it. Workaround:
a = Analysis( ... hiddenimports=[ 'zeroconf._utils.ipaddress', # and potentially others in .venv\Lib\site-packages\zeroconf\_utils, but that seems to pull in every pyd file 'zeroconf._handlers.answers', # and potentially others in .venv\Lib\site-packages\zeroconf\_handlers, but that seems to pull in every pyd file # and potentially others in _protocol or _services in .venv\Lib\site-packages\zeroconf\, but the above imports seem to pull in every pyd file from these ], ...A full solution would be to add PyInstaller hooks to zeroconf (I may try to learn how...) if that is able to deal with the issue.
