title: In PyInstaller, Why Won't NumPy.Random.Common Load as a Module?
body: <p>I'm trying to compile a .py program into a Windows .exe using PyInstaller. Whenever I try to execute the .exe, the terminal opens, then closes quickly with the error:</p>
  
  <p><code>ImportError: Unable to import required dependencies:
  numpy: No module named 'numpy.random.common'</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm not explicitly importing numpy; it's being import by pandas. </p>
  
  <p>I also get this long list of warnings about modules that couldn't be loaded in the warnings log for pyinstaller.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried adding <code>hiddenimports=['numpy.random.common']</code> in my .spec file, I've tried running `pyinstaller [file].py -F --hidden-import="numpy.random.common". I've read the other stackoverflow posts about pyinstaller and hiddenimports, yet nothing seems to fix this error. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using a virtual environment, so I'm not sure if that's playing a part.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my .spec file</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code># -*- mode: python ; coding: utf-8 -*-

  pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
               cipher=block_cipher)
  exe = EXE(pyz,
            a.scripts,
            a.binaries,
            a.zipfiles,
            a.datas,
            [],

            bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
            strip=False,
            upx=True,
            upx_exclude=[],

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My warning file causes the post to be too long, however numpy.random.common isn't actually listed as a missing module. Neither is numpy.random.</p>
  
  <p>I'm expecting this to just run properly without any issues.</p>
