Unable to install and or use auto-py-to-exe

Question

I try to install Auto-Py-to-exe but they have a lot of error appear during the installation but at the end it sais successfully installed, see picture below. I have windows 10pro, PyCharm community 2020.3.3, and i use python 3.9.1 for almost all my projects. I have uninstall auto-Py-to-exe, piwin, PYpiwin32, pywin32, PyInstaller. Close all the system and reboot, re-install all these module, but nothing seem to work. It the same error when i use Python 3.6 or 3.7. the same error arrived in PyCharm terminal and in the promt(cmd) window terminal.

C:\Windows\system32>auto-py-to-exe
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have made the update of PIP, EEL, PYInstaller( the upper version they want to install is 3.2.1, the other fail), gevent and greenlet but i receive always the same error message.

I don't know what to do. I have check here for answer or direction to resolve my problem but i find nothing for now.

the error message in PYCharm, it the same in window terminal

It appears, while looking at the traceback, that the error is in the source code, and not your own execution. Looking through the auto-py-to-exe GitHub repository files, it seems that the package just uses pyinstaller to convert the python script(s) to executable files. In this case, I would recommend just using pyinstaller itself.

To convetr the .py file to a single file, run:

pyinstaller my_script.py --onefile --windowed

The .exe file will appear in a folder dist/ (created during the build). The build/ folder along with other files created during the process can be deleted.
