Could you raise this one as an issue on PyInstaller’s github. Include the above traceback and your version of importlib_resources.

I hit this obstacle today and seeing no other in-the-last-week-and-a-half report about it I filed it as issue 5059 but I'd describe its status as "fixpending" or "fixed-but-not-yet-released": I was not able to reproduce the issue with PyInstaller 4.0.dev0. Any idea when a new PyInstaller version containing the fix will be released on PyPI?

Thanks much,

Ahh, didn't realise it was already done. It's really hard to tell when 4.0 will happen. We keep hitting new issues we need to fix first. I'd say a couple of weeks but we said that 3 months ago. Just install from Github if you can.
