Pyinstaller generating empty dist folder - python

I'm relatively new to python and I'm trying to create an EXE of a Python Application.
I saw that there is a lot of similar question here on Stack Overflow, but none has significative answers, so I decided to bring this again.
Here is the verbose of the Pyinstaller:

It generates both build and dist folders, but the dist folder where the .exe what supposed to be is empty.


Thanks, #John T
I downgraded to 3.7.6 and now Pyinstaller is building the .exe as expected, a few errors show up when I run the .exe, but it's working!
Thanks again.

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:

This fixed the issue:

Does it have to do with admin rights? Do I have to run command prompt as an admin in order to use pyinstaller? Or do I have to be logged-in as the admin?

Please use google before posting a question on stackoverflow, this is the original question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60320831/12533273
You may have two versions of python3 installed and that's cousing a problem, try uninstalling all versions of python and then reinstalling them.

.\pyinstaller --onefile -w 'filename.py'
or
pyinstaller --onefile -w 'filename.py'
use the above two commands in the powershell while you went to the page of conversion should be made.

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

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.
