Answer 1

I experienced the same issue using py2exe in place of pyinstaller. After doing some research on my code and some googling I ended up in this thread and found out that the problem is similar and so is the solution. If this can be of any help for others, in order to generate executables with py2exe with the use of pyexcel libraries I added 'pyexcel_xls.xls' and 'pyexcel_xlsx.xlsx' in the includes section in the py2exe setup options. So:

setup(
    name='Hello'
    version='0.1'
    description='Hello program'
    author='Me'
    options={
            'compressed': 1
            'optimized': 1
            'includes': ['pyexcel_xls.xls', 'pyexcel_xlsx.xlsx' ...]
        }
    console=['hello.py']
)
