I am compiling my current program using pyinstaller and it seems to not be able to handle all required files in plotly. It runs fine on its own, and without plotly it can compile and run as well.
It seems be to failing to find a file "default-schema.json" that I cannot even locate anywhere on my drive.

I came across the same problem, and worked my way through the pyinstaller documentation to find out what to do:
pyinstaller creates a .spec file with the same name as your .py file. under a = Analysis, you will find datas = []
a = Analysis(['graphic_interface.py'],
pathex=[xxx],
binaries=[],
datas=[],
hiddenimports=[],
hookspath=[],
runtime_hooks=[],
excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=block_cipher,
noarchive=False)
there you add the path for plotly. a relative path didn't work for me, so I set an absolute path
datas=[('C:\\Users\\Me\\PycharmProjects\\Project\\venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\plotly\\', 'plotly')],
now you have to use the spec file when running pyinstaller
pyinstaller myproject.spec myproject.py
you dont need to worry about other commands like oneFile etc, because they are already saved in the .spec file
