I am working on MacOS and I am trying to use PyInstaller to circulate a script to some non tech colleagues. The script is imaginatively called script_V1.py and runs fine.
Up to now, I have had issues with PANDAS and SCIPY but they seem to be resolved with with the command
pyinstaller --onefile --hidden-import pandas._libs.tslibs.timedeltas --hidden-import scipy._lib.messagestream script_V1.py
However, I am now getting a different error (I'll post the full error below)
RuntimeError: Python is not installed as a framework. The Mac OS X
backend will not be able to function correctly if Python is not
installed as a framework. See the Python documentation for more
information on installing Python as a framework on Mac OS X. Please
either reinstall Python as a framework, or try one of the other
backends. If you are using (Ana)Conda please install python.app and
replace the use of 'python' with 'pythonw'. See 'Working with
Matplotlib on OSX' in the Matplotlib FAQ for more information.
I have tried the solution in a similar question on Stack Exchange:
But I think that is actually a different problem with import statements not working within the script itself. In my case if I run the script as a .py script it works fine. Anyway adding the suggested file did not alter the error message. Im new to this and seem to be really struggling with PyInstaller (more than with python itself) so any help much appreciated.
The full error message is (I've added line breaks for clarity)
