pyinstaller No module named pyinstaller

Question

I have 2 python versions installed under my mac osx sierra: python 3.5 python 2.7

I installed pyinstaller under python3.5 with this command:

python3         


        

Answer 1

PyInstaller having issues with pip 19.0 (https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4003)

Downgrade pip to 18.1 version works fine.

Answer 2

Right now the only way I found to make it works is to: navigate to:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin

run pyinstaller mypython35script.py

cheers d.

ps I still don't know why is not working in the way I described in my first post.

Answer 3

Rename your pyinstaller to pyinstaller35 and also rename your pyinstaller-script.py to pyinstaller35-script.py inside the scripts directory which is inside the python3.5 installation directory. Now add the scripts directory to the system path. Now you can run it as pyinstaller35 yourfile.py -F

Answer 4

I had same issue here, and i tried everything, but finally i found the solution :

I had to downgrade pip from version 19 to 18.1 :

pip install pip==18.1

Then install PyInstaller :

pip install pyinstaller

.

As you see i managed to install it : .

After that you can upgrade your pip again :

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Answer 5

From Anaconda prompt the following works for me. Run the following command after navigating to the location of the module

pyinstaller --onefile mypython35script.py

Answer 6

This works in my case with pip version 19.0.1

cmd => rightclick => with admin rights

Enter in cmd: "pip install pyinstaller"
