Hello everybody,

I am really embarrassed. I have pyinstaller installed and I use .spec files to generate multiples executables. 
I made a typo mistake by typing a '$' at the end of the spec file: pyinstaller myfile.spec$ instead of pyinstaller myfile.spec. 
At the first run, I got a message :  myfile.spec$ not found.

But after running the correct command, I still have the same message. SO I cannot generate my executables at all. 
There may be a parameter or a file that stores this wrong information, but I cannot find where. 

Could anybody help me ? It is quite urgent. 

Thank you very much for your help. 

Best regards,
Jean-Luc.

Hello everyboldy,

After inspection of my folder containing my spec files and the spec file itself, I noticed that it was modified. 
I took my backup from my git repository and it works fine now.

Have a good day.
Best regards,
Jean-Luc.

Did the original wrong command overwrite 'myfile.spec', and leave a '$' in there?  Check in myfile.spec first, I don't know of any other file written by pyinstaller (other than the obvious stuff in build/ and dist/).
