        --add-data country_locale.csv:country_locale.csv \
        --paths /Users/kaushal/.local/share/virtualenvs/streamlit-edge-tts-pciHd8Fx/lib/python3.11/site-packages \
        --collect-data streamlit \
        --collect-data edge_tts \
        --copy-metadata streamlit \
        --copy-metadata numpy \
        --copy-metadata pandas \
        --copy-metadata edge_tts \

Using the Virtualenv itself

Note this is also OS dependent Hence virtualenv from macos won't work on Windows. create the virtualenv on Windows itself using Pipfile or requirements and then follow the below steps

  1. go to the location of the virtual env - in this case it was /Users/kaushal/.local/share/virtualenvs/streamlit-edge-tts-pciHd8Fx/*
  2. Zip this folder using the comman - zip -r <name_of_project> streamlit-edge-tts-pciHd8Fx/*
  3. copy the created zip to some other folder
  4. unzip the zip
  5. copy and paste the scripts of the project in this unzipped folder where the folder bin, lib, etc, pyvene.cfg(if pipenv) exists.
  6. to run the project type the following command where bin folder exists - bin/python -m streamlit run main.py(for streamlit app)
  7. Create a .sh file for executing step 6 for linux/macos and a .bat file for windows
