" it only packages the modules it thinks your program needs"
The question is - why doesn't it think any program doesn't need certain
modules?
1. There is an import statement for that module at the top of the file.
2. There is clear usage of that module in the program, as in:
result = module.function_call()
I've tried several of these
"https://www.pyinstaller.org/en/stable/when-things-go-wrong.html#helping-pyinstaller-find-modules";
fixes.
I've gotten past a few of them by doing "Add file". This is the step that
seems wrong though, since the module is imported and a function is called
in that module.
