Hi,

I am new to programming in Python. I am learning programming to automate 
various tasks at my job - I work as portfolio manager in the finance 
industry. I recently created a script that pulls in a csv into pandas, 
manipulates it, spits out cleaned data for human review, and moves a few 
files around to archive previously run batches. We have two employees that 
do not have any Python version installed on their machines, so I wanted to 
use Pyinstaller to create and .exe for them to use. When I run Pyinstaller 
on my script (no options) the below Traceback shows up. I've Googled as 
much as I can to try and fix it, but to no avail. With my competence level, 
most of the traceback makes little sense, so I figured I should reach out 
directly to Pyinstaller. Please let me know if I need to do something 
different in asking for help. I want to learn. Thank you!
