Hi there
Up until roundabout a week or so ago - not definite time frame since
don't necessarily make use of it too often - pyinstaller worked fine
here., but, this week it suddenly started generating the error message
mentioned in the subject line the moment I try to invoke it in any way
from command line interface.
As in, I can create a virtual environment, activate it, and use pip to
install pyinstaller, but, from there on, even if just try to invoke the
command pyinstaller, it generates traceback information ending in that
statement.
Now, for background, this is all running on my windows 11 pro 64-bit
machine, with all recent updates installed - just possible this started
occurring after latest windows update, and, while was initially working
under python-3.11.8-amd64, I now tried switching over to
python-3.12.2-amd64, in case it would make a difference, but, same
behaviour.
In other words, this occurs before I even try using pyinstaller to even
create an executable, even if I just invoke the command pyinstaller
after having run the pip command to import modules.
The current output of pip freeze is the following:
altgraph==0.17.4
packaging==24.0
pefile==2023.2.7
pyinstaller==6.5.0
pyinstaller-hooks-contrib==2024.3
pywin32-ctypes==0.2.2
setuptools==69.2.0
#---end of freeze---
And, if I invoke pyinstaller, here's the complete traceback output, in
case there's something in there am missing:
Traceback (most recent call last):

In any case all the google search results have come across using the
various keywords here, don't seem to mention specific behaviour similar
to this, unless am missing something, so, thought would ask here, just
in case?
Thanks in advance
