Using ytmusicapi with pyinstaller

[lucaspiresfernandes]

I wanted to package my app into an executable file but ytmusicapi gives me weird errors when running the exe:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "migrator.py", line 62, in <module>
  File "ytmusicapi\ytmusic.py", line 118, in __init__
  File "gettext.py", line 516, in translation
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: 'base'
[476] Failed to execute script 'migrator' due to unhandled exception!

It is related to how ytmusicapi loads .mo files for internationalization, but I can't figure out how to fix this error. Any advices?

I am also getting this error. I'm not trying to package ytmusicapi like the original post; I'm just running it in a Python script or at the command line. I created a new Conda environment (Python 3.11.8) and used pip to install ytmusicapi. I created the oauth.json file successfully and am just trying to instantiate YTMusic.

I looked at issues #315 and #250 and I don't think those are relevant to my issue, but admit I don't understand what they're about.

Any ideas how to proceed? Should I open a new issue? Thanks!
