Description

I'm coding an app with the package and when I want to start the script as an executable file (I use pyinstaller), I get this error:
*Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 1, in <module> File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 495, in exec_module File "customtkinter\__init__.py", line 20, in <module> # import widgets File "customtkinter\theme_manager.py", line 25, in load_theme cls.theme["text"] = cls.theme["text"]["Windows"] KeyError: 'text'

I don't understand why I got this because, in my other projects wich use this module too, I didn't get this error

I saw that another person got this too, but I already have the latest version of the module, and the error doesn't appear when I start the script in my IDE but only with an exe file

Research direction

Start with customtkinter/theme_manager.py at load_theme, then compare how the theme data is loaded when the application runs normally versus when it is packaged with PyInstaller. Reproduce the executable launch and verify that the packaged application starts without the KeyError for the missing text entry.
