While using pyinstaller to convert.py file to.exe having large dependencies (like numpy, pandas) following these steps would solve the ModuleNotFound error:

1. Install the PIP packages in the project directory

2. Change the hook file
   Navigate to \venv\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks
   If there is a hook-numpy.py file, edit the script to:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
hiddenimports = collect_submodules('numpy._libs')

3. Before converting to.exe file, make.spec file using the following command:
   

pyi-makespec — onefile program_name.py

4. Edit the.spec file (open using notepad)
   append the libraries to the hiddenimports list
   

...
hiddenimports = ['numpy']
...

5. Compile the script using the.spec file with the following command:
   

pyinstaller — onefile program_name.spec

Finally, find the.exe file in the dist folder, and run it.
