and hook file

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules, collect_data_files, get_package_paths
import os

pkg_base, pkg_dir = get_package_paths('gi.overrides')
blockdev_path = os.path.join(pkg_dir, 'BlockDev.py')

if not os.path.exists(blockdev_path):
    print(f"Warning: BlockDev module file not found at {blockdev_path}")

hiddenimports = collect_submodules('gi.overrides.BlockDev')

datas = collect_data_files('gi.overrides.BlockDev')

def pre_safe_import_module(api):
    api.add_runtime_package('gi.overrides')

I tried to use the locally installed library, and there seemed to be problems using hooks and the default method.

What should I do?

I am sorry, but I probably can't help you with this, I am not familiar with PyInstaller at all. I did a quick search I would probably start from the PyInstaller GLib hook.
