KeyError: 'PaddleOCR.tools'

Before creating the exe file the code is running perfectly well but while running the exe file I'm getting the below error:

i can share you my .spec file as well.
Windows 10
Using my custom trained paddleocr models

Any help is welcomed
Thank you

It should be caused by an error in the exe packaging process, not by replacing the model. You can first check the logic of code packaging.

i have cloned the paddleocr repo as im using its predict_det and predict_rec file for my models
and below is my pyinstaller spec file, im basically adding all the folders and file present in the root folder to the exe for execution and here one of the folder is for PaddleOCR repo as well.
