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

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):

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.

kivyagg is for kivy-garden matplotlib library and it's not install in your environnement. kivy-matplotlib-widget is an other library and you don't need to import kivy.garden.matplotlib.backend_kivyagg with this library.

There are 2 kivy matplotlib garden flowers: There is the legacy: https://github.com/kivy-garden/garden.matplotlib and the new: https://github.com/kivy-garden/matplotlib which is still being migrated to the new installation methods, which is supposed to be very easy. I have only been using the legacy, which requires the garden command. One thing to note when you get this all working, neither garden flower will work with matplotlib 3.8.0, and you would need to install a lower version like matplotlib 3.7.2. For me to install to using the legacy flower: chmod +x $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/garden garden install matplotlib --app which required me to make sure the garden command was executable. The "--app" option is necessary to do a proper install in your source directory. Regards, Juan

Thanks, I found the solution, I was using an old version of pyinstaller and also a bad command line to do it.
