Pyinstaller is showing 'Failed to execute script 'app' due to unhandled exception: expected...' [duplicate]

I am trying to build an .exe file from .py file using pysinstaller and Python 3.7.2.
It worked with Python 3.6; then I re-installed the last version of Python (3.7.2) and tried to generate an exe file, but pyinstaller barfs.
Below is the error report I get.

What could be the problem?

I found the following solution: replace bindepend.py from <myProject_path>\venv\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\depend with the file provided by Loran425 on github here

As I have read from many forums here and here and discussions regarding this issue caused by Pyinstaller.
If you are using Pycharm or any virtual environment. Unfortunatelly Pycharm creates its local vertual environment in venvpath once you indicate the interpreter. So, you should set the external tool (pyinstaller) to the real path of your python 3.7 .exe as the picture shows here.
For Linux users, follow my other answer here.

In my case the problem occurs when I'm using the standard library's venv, but not when I'm using virtualenv. (However I had to use virtualenv==16.1.0 because of another bug.)

The bug was resolved in version 3.6 of PyInstaller. Just update and will work fine.

It may be from an ill-formed spec file, something as simple (yet difficult to find) as a commented or missing argument.
When I comment out name in exe,
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
[],
# name='my_app',
debug=False,
bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
upx_exclude=[],
runtime_tmpdir=None,
console=True,
icon='resources/icons/icon.ico',
version='resources/version/version.py')
I get the following traceback:

What I've also done and retried to package, all of which led to the outcome above (except the UPX)
Reinstalled
Restarted (also updated Windows)
Trying the conversion in virtual environment
Fixed the UPX (186 INFO: UPX is available.) by downloading and placing upx.exe in the *.py folder
Disabled (off) both (python & python3) App Installer in App execution aliases
What I find strange
Python version shown in cmd is still 3.9.5; also 3.9.5 in IDLE which changed to 3.9.6 after rebooting my PC
Other Python users can convert without issue
WindowsApps folder access returned none (e.g. return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.1520.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\runpy.py",)
When manually accessing the WindowApps folder, the notification "You don't currently have permission to access this folder." is shown. If that is the root cause, anyway to allow Python to access it?
Here's the link to the python file and what was converted: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L8vVEc4z6LYxgN6XHWwJlujVsicMgfMy/view
I have also tried the below code as a *.py file:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('test.db')
print "Opened database successfully";
The below was the outcome:

They (both pyinstaller and SQL) seem to be connected to one root cause.

This fixed the issue:
python3 -m pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip

I have downloaded pyinstaller, but when I try to convert the python files, it says [Errno 13] Permission denied

I installed pyinstaller through python -m pip install command. For a reason, pip is not in my path so that's how I did it. Then, it downloads pyinstaller and it gives me a warning that it's not in the path.
I ignore it and proceed to transform the directory where my project is. I wait a few moments and then if shows me this error message:

I have a folder containing all my python files, it's not only one python file.
I used git on the main file of my project. Could it affect its accesibility? I also tried just to copy paste the entire project to some other places and the same permission error appears in cmd (even when in admin mode).

Can you do it again in a CMD opened as administrator?
Can you find c:\users\dhiaa\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\lib\modulegraph\modulegraph.py on disk?

pyinstaller script not found

Now what will be the solution.

Script not found when using pyinstaller

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:

This is what it shows.
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.
