[Python] Not able to use Smartsheet python api when packaging project using Nuitka

I wrote a python project that automates tasks and makes use of the smartsheet api but when I package this project into an executable with nuitka I get the error:

ImportError! Could not load api or model class Search
Error: 'str' object has no attribute 'search_sheet'


this is the piece of code that throws this error

from smartsheet import smartsheet

...

smart = smartsheet.Smartsheet("api key",proxies=proxies) # Create a Smartsheet client
response = smart.errors_as_exceptions(True) # Call the list_sheets() function and store the response object
NonFoundSerialNumbers=""
try:
SerialNumbers=SerialNumbers.split(" ")
for search in SerialNumbers:
response=smart.Search.search_sheet(sheetID,search)
if len(response.results)==0:
NonFoundSerialNumbers=NonFoundSerialNumbers+"\n"+search
etc ...



This error makes me believe that the smartsheet client is not being created due to an import error of some sort when packaging the project. This is my yaml file for reference:

# nuitka.yaml

# Main configuration for the Nuitka build
- module-name: Helper
nuitka:
# Project Information

standalone: true
onefile: true

# Entry point for the application
entry_point: "Helper.py"

And this is the command I'm running

nuitka --standalone --onefile --enable-plugin=tk-inter --follow-imports --user-package-configuration-file=Helper.yaml Helper.py


Note: Everything works perfectly when running the project from my editor
