my multiproccesed tkinter app involves toasts. The toast work fine in idle.
however they throw an error when running from a build
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pywin32>=223' distribution was not found and is required by pypiwin32
the common solution online is to try alternatives to pypiwin32, but that doesnt seem to do me any good.
my full code is below
import win32com.client as pypiwin32
from tkinter import *
from multiprocessing import Process, Manager , freeze_support
from win10toast import ToastNotifier
if __name__ == '__main__':
freeze_support()
window=Tk()
window.title('choose a car')
window.geometry("820x550+10+20")
canvas=Canvas(window, width=360, height=300)
canvas.pack()
toaster = ToastNotifier()
toaster.show_toast("bout to start ", "start msg" , threaded=True)
print("done :) ")
the full error is below.

done :)

also here is my cx_freeze script i used to make the build
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(
name = "big ui system" ,
version = "0.1" ,
description = "a ui to tie together some web scrappers " ,
executables = [Executable("toast test.py")]
)
how can i get these toasts to show on the build of this programme?
