Oh nice, one less unmaintained dependency, and that import time reduction! 🎉 I hope the pipenv locking wasn't too painful :)
Thank you for the PR!
By the way, if time allows it would be great if you could add any comments on your contributing experience here: #2238. I understand that you're probably busy though. P.S. thanks for maintaining virtualenv 😃
Add new platformdirs dependencies as hidden imports when creating PyInstaller-based binaries. platformdirs imports the module for each platform dynamically, which PyInstaller is unable to correctly detect for packing. By adding the modules as hidden imports, we are telling PyInstaller to include the modules in the packaged binary. This issue seems to have been introduce when switching to platformdirs in #2375. fixes #2464 Commit history before merge: * Add hidden import to PyInstaller build Add new platformdirs dependency as a hidden import when creating PyInstaller based binaries. * Only include the platformdirs for the relevant os
As the appdirs repositories, maintainership has dried up (ActiveState/appdirs#79) we've forked the repository under platformdirs (https://github.com/platformdirs/platformdirs) name.
We've merged some existing open PRs and adding Android support (tox-dev/platformdirs#15) is currently in the works. We encourage black to switch to it.
