I have multiple python projects and when I compile one of them the using Python to Exe, I end up compiling all the libraries that I have downloaded. I also noticed that in my project, even though I have specified an import, I still have access ,via import, to the other libraries that I do not need for the project.

So this is how I tried to solve my issues

I decided to remap my python projects folder to the hard drive root. But when I went to install the library I wanted I got a bunch of errors directing me to the original library install location

I figure that because the libraries folder is installed further down the folder hierarchy just simply installing the libraries I want wouldn’t work. As such I did test this and I got a bunch of errors looking for the folder where Python is actually installed.

In theory, if I install Python into a new folder in the root file of my hard drive, I could create an environment just for programing, separate from the rest of my files. In turn I could isolate downloaded packages into various projects and compile them without unnecessary libraries in my final exe application.
so instead of having one global library for all my projects, I could have multiple of the same library for my various projects.

I do agree that this solution is inefficient but I could not come up with anything else

Note that my OS is Windows 10.
