I'm getting a ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes when executing a command pyinstaller main.py in a cmd both with and without administrator privileges.

ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes
I tried deleting NULL characters from my code using Notepad++ and I tried reinstalling pyinstaller, yet the problem still persists.
I figured it out. It seems that pyinstaller isn't compatible with the latest version of Python 3 (as of 24.05.2020). I uninstalled Python 3.8.3 and I installed Python 3.7.7, installed all of the libraries I was using in main.py and it worked! Such a simple solution.

I am having a problem with pyinstaller with python 3.10.5 on Ubuntu 18.04. I built Python 3.10.5 from source.
When I run pyinstaller with 3.10 I get the error below. When I run with 3.6 I get:
08:32:09 44362 INFO: Python library not in binary dependencies. Doing additional searching...
08:32:09 44394 INFO: Using Python library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
Looking on my machine there is no libpython3.10m.so, so I wonder if this is the problem? (There is a libpython3.10.a)
Would having a libpython3.10m.so fix the problem?
Where do I get one from or how do I build one?
pyinstaller/python 3.10 errors:

Why does it not allow me to make it an executable? I'm using Pyinstaller and I ran pyinstaller --onefile -w main.py.. I tried doing other methods, but none of them worked.
Hopefully somebody can help. :)
Thanks,

If you are on a Linux machine, try to use the command:
sudo pyinstaller --onefile -w main.py
and if you are on a Windows machine, try to open the cmd using administrator privilege. Just write cmd in the search bar, right-click on the result and chose
open as administrator
Trying to figure out why Pyinstaller does not make the .EXE in the \Dist folder.
What i'm running is pyinstaller --onefile FileName.py
But after this it fails:

Script is working as intended when run through Python
The idea is to make the .py an .exe so i can run it on a computer that does not have Python.
I Found the answer.
By using pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip
it uninstalled the version 3.5 and installed the 4.0 dev version.
Used pyinstaller xxxx.py and voilà
Thank you for everyone's participation
I am trying to convert a python script to an exe file. I have added the python script to a folder together with pyinstaller, and I use the right PATH in CMD:

I know there are some similar questions here, but I have not found a solution yet.
I found the solution. I had to first install Python from their own website instead of the Windows store. Then I had to add it to a PATH. After this it still did not work because I used Python 3.8.0, so I had to install pyinstaller development version.
I have been having some difficulties compiling my Python program using Pyinstaller. My program has multiple modules and about 2000 lines of code. It uses TaurusScada as a sort of wrapper for PYQT, Numpy, and a few other modules. The platform is Python 2.7 and Ubuntu 15.04. I'm also using Pyinstaller 3.1. I was successful in compiling a small "Hello World" type application so I know it works. I am not married to Pyinstaller as I have tried cx_Freeze as well without success. Rather than leaving my entire code on here I'll start by leaving the traceback and error in hopes that someone can shed some light on this:

Any help is much appreciated.
i had a similar error today. You are missing the gdk-pixbuf library:
so just run:
sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
and pyinstaller should go smoothly
