python-3.xpyinstallerinvalid-argumenteoferror

I can not get pyinstaller to convert anything to .exe

I am trying to use pyinstaller to make an .exe file of any of my python files, but it always shows the same errors.

After trying with a package with imports an so on, I decided to test it with the simplest thing I can think of:

user_input = int(input())
if user_input == 1:
    print('Hello world')
else:
    print('Bye, bye')

But even with that it gives me the same Errors as every other time:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The first time I ran pyinstaller I got this error message:

I am using Pycharm as IDE, if that matters.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Solution

  • Creating a virtual environment for the folder solved it. Many thanks to Alexander !
