Surely there are some more lines of error message after that?

Either way though, it looks like the error is coming from a mere import pkg_resources so is most likely between you and setuptools rather than anything to do with PyInstaller.

hello, and thanks, actually missing:
AttributeError: module 'pkgutil' has no attribute 'ImpImporter'. Did you mean: 'zipimporter'?

Same error if I type , from within virtual environment

pyinstaller --h

Sounds like your setuptools is too old to support Python 3.12. Have you tried just upgrading it?

[paolo zordan]

thanks, I solved it by installing:

pip install --upgrade setuptools
