Update: I tried it at home today on an older computer, to sanity check myself. I ended up getting the same error with python.dll. Then I realized it was a python 3.5 system, and that maybe that would have something to do with it. When I got back to work today, I installed python 3.9.0. Then, I used pip install pyinstaller in my windows\system32 directory rather than the python directory itself; not sure if that would make a difference. I made a test.py to print(‘hello world’) and ran pyinstaller. No errors this time, and when I went to \dist and ran the exe from command line, it printed hello world with no error! My guess is that either there is some incompatibility problem with old versions of python/windows10/updated pyinstaller, or making the installation in the different directory somehow did something. Ultimately I don’t understand the problem or solution.
I ended up running into a number of other issues, like matplotlib needing to be v3.2.2, having to delete the dist and build folders, needing to run cmd as administrator, matplotlib being unable to use .show() without a gui, numpy needing visual studio installed, and a bunch of other things. Thankfully I was able to figure them out! Thanks for the help!

I added this at the end of the python script:input("Press Enter to exit") This solved the problem of exe crashing. Try it. Good luck!

It’ll still crash but you’ll at least get an error message you can work with. (Also I’ve never yet solved an issue using the warnings file or for anything out of --log-level DEBUG.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
