Pyinstaller not working for package (pyreadstat)

I always have used pyinstaller to create executables files but now when on working on a older project I am facing some issues.
I have figured out that the main problem is while importing pyreadstat package. (pyreadstat is a python package to read spss files.)
import pyreadstat
Post running pyinstaller it first gives error for Module not found pandas. To resolve this I added --hidden-import pandas then it gave another error about Module not found pyreadstat._readstat_writer.
Once I added that as hidden import I got Module not found worker.
I am now not sure why pyinstaller is behaving in this way. Earlier it used to work correctly.
Can someone provider their input here. Below is the cmd log for reference.

Pyinstaller issue in packaging exe program on win10

Currently i meet issue while packaging exe through pyinstaller .
I create a virtual environmental under pycharm , and my programe is very simple
a = input("please input a :")
b = input("please input b: ")
c = print(a+b)
the code stored in test.py . and then I type pyinstaller -F test.py on pycharm consle , it shows as below . as you seen , many libs not found , and packaing failed .

but the test.exe flashed and closed after I click , I using screen recording tool capture the flash error
, it shows Error loading Python DLL 'c:\cheng\Project\STC_Tool\venv\dist\test'
the python installed on win10 is python3.7 , and I am using win10 64 bit operating system.
could you please give me some suggestiones .

after unistall pyinstaller and then reinstall pyinstaller again , issue solved.
please considered to update system variable as well.

Possible python3.8 build problem on Centos 7

I have built python3.8 on a virgin installation of Centos 7.7 via:
CXX="/usr/bin/g++"
export CXX
./configure LDFLAGS="-static -static-libgcc" CPPFLAGS="-static" \
--enable-optimizations \
--prefix=/opt/python38 \
--enable-shared \
--enable-static \
--with-system-expat \
--with-system-ffi \
--with-ensurepip=yes
snaptime=`date +%Y%m%d.%H%M`
/usr/bin/make -j `nproc` 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee log.${snaptime}
echo "remember to 'make altinstall' to avoid overwriting your system python"
Next, I attempt to build a standalone executable via "pyinstaller hello.py"
I receive the following output/errors:

This would mean your Python installation doesn't come with proper library files.
This usually happens by missing development package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.
* On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages
* apt-get install python3-dev
* apt-get install python-dev
* If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with `--enable-shared` (or, `--enable-framework` on Darwin)
When I check my build directory, sure enough, the specified files (libpython3.8.so.1.0, libpython3.8m.so.1.0, libpython3.8m.so, libpython3.8mu.so.1.0) do not exist in my build directory, nor in my /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 directories.
Also, from the root directory, I have run "cd '/' && find . | grep -i libpython3.8" and received one line of output ->
/home/usr/python3.8/Python-3.8.0/libpython3.8.a
Because I have both --enable-shared and --enable-static on the ./configure command-line, I expect both .a and .so files to be generated with the build and altinstall, but that is obviously not happening.
I am also aware that the problem may be from 'pyinstaller' - perhaps it is not yet working with versions of python greater than 3.5?
Comments? Suggestions? Questions?

How to use pyinstaller with pipenv / pyenv

I am trying to ship an executable from my python script which lives inside a virtual environment using pipenv which again relies on pyenv for python versioning. For that, I want to us pyinstaller.
What I did:
pipenv install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile my_script.py

This would mean your Python installation doesn't come with proper library files.
This usually happens by missing development package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.
* On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages
* apt-get install python3-dev
* apt-get install python-dev
* If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with `--enable-shared` (or, `--enable-framework` on Darwin)
I tried the recommended python3-dev and python-dev installations without luck.
Now, I hope someone can enlighten me what is going on here!
Cheers,
Matt

You need to build with CPython shared-library enabled.
env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.6.9
eval "$(pyenv init -)"

PyInstaller - TypeError: iteration over non-sequence

I got this problem, I searched a lot, but can not find any solutions.
I want to build an executable with pyinstaller. I never had problems with this.
Now i got this traceback:

I'm coding on Ubuntu - only building the executable in a virtual Win 7!

This is a specific version bug, i fixed it from a develop brunch:
git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller.git
cd pyinstaller/
sudo python setup.py install
