Bundle PIL submodules in PyInstaller build - #500
Merged
Conversation
mytk loads PIL.ImageDraw and PIL.ImageTk via importlib.import_module(), which PyInstaller's static analyzer can't follow. Without --collect-submodules PIL the bundled app prompts the user to install the missing module on first launch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds
--collect-submodules PILto the PyInstaller invocation so the bundled app findsPIL.ImageDrawandPIL.ImageTk. Without this,mytkloads them dynamically viaimportlib.import_module()and the frozen app prompts the user to "install the missing module 'ImageDraw'" on first launch.Verified locally: rebuilt
Raytracing.app, launched cleanly with no missing-module prompt.Test plan
v1.4.2→ confirm released bundles launch without the ImageDraw prompt on macOS/Windows/Linux.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
