cannot run pyinstaller executable of a flask server. ValueError: Can't find a dictionary for language 'ru'

I'm trying to put a simple flask server into executable by using pyinstaller -F server.py command
When running the exe file, I obtain the following error:

tranform_text() function uses pymorphy to change sentences from 1st person form ("I play") to 3rd person form("He/She plays")
So, is there any way to make the executable work?

This is the problem of the package ;pymorphy2_dicts_ru;. Files from the data directory are not copied to the bundle.
To solve the problem, you need to perform two steps:
Add the data directory to the pyinstaller spec file:
...
# pymorph data
import pymorphy2_dicts_ru
pymorph_data = pymorphy2_dicts_ru.get_path()
a = Analysis(['main.py'],
pathex=['.'],
binaries=[],
datas=[(pymorph_data, 'pymorphy2_dicts_ru/data')],
hiddenimports=[],
hookspath=[],
...
Set the path to the data directory in the code before import the pymorphy2 module (to main.py for example):
...
if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False) and hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'):
os.environ["PYMORPHY2_DICT_PATH"] = str(pathlib.Path(sys._MEIPASS).joinpath('pymorphy2_dicts_ru/data'))
...

PyInstaller is not creating an .exe file

I'm trying to create an executable file using PyInstaller with my script. For reference, I am using Windows 10 with Python 3.8.0 and PyInstaller version 3.5.
My script is called hello_world.py and it is saved in it's own folder.
print("Hello World!")
In command prompt, I navigate to the folder that hello_world.py is in and run:
pyinstaller hello_world.py
And this is the output:

This creates folders called 'dist' and 'build' and a file called 'hello_world.spec' but the 'dist' folder is empty. What is going wrong?

I search for
TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes)
Did you read this?

I had this issue in the past, can you please perform the follwing:
open Anaconda prompt or any other IDE per example spyder or Atom terminal, command line as admin and Navigate to the folder where the .py located and run the command as bellow:
In my example the file I want to compile it is getwindowsversion.py
this is will create just standalone .exe can be used,
pyinstaller --onefile getwindowsversion.py
if you want to create regular build,
pyinstaller getwindowsversion.py

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 -)"

In my system i used to downgrade the django version from 2.2 to 1.8 in pyinstaller 3.4 version(pyinstaller 3.5 leads to kind of numpy error). Afterwards this error was resolved.

PyInstaller stops working when I import something from PySide

When I build a simple hello world application with PyInstaller, it works as expected. But as soon as I import something from PySide it stops working. Here is the main.py:
from PySide.QtGui import QApplication
print "Hello World"
The build process goes smoothly, but the resulting binary doesn't work:
(pyside) C:\Test\pyinstaller>main\dist\main\main.exe

Notice that this happens even though I'm just importing a PySide module, not actually using it. What should I do?
I am using PyInstaller 2.0 to package an app with PySide 1.2 on 64-bit windows 7. My Python installation is 32-bit:
Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:43:36) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
>pip freeze
pyside==1.2.0
pywin32==218
And here is the build message:
