I've created an executable with Pyinstaller. Running the executable from cmd, it crashes when it starts creating the relplot. For creating the exe, I used this command:pyinstaller test.py --onefile. Here is test.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import seaborn as sns
print('###################relplot##########################')
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
g = sns.relplot(data=tips, x="total_bill", y="tip", hue="day")
g.fig.savefig('.\\test.png')
print('success')

Pyinstaller warning file when the .exe is built.
Pyinstaller debug messages at runtime with --debug=imports See at the bottom where it crashes.
I have tried updating the environment and the libraries, writing crazy .spec file found here and there. nothing seems to work. I am aware of this post. But The solution doesn't work, the question has not gotten much attention and it is incomplete and I cannot leave comments for it and to me it seems to be slightly different than my issue.
Update: The exe file runs with no problem in the Anaconda Prompt, but it crashes in the cmd. I tried the solution offered here and it did not work.

After much testing I realized this only happens when I use conda environment for creating my executables. I simply created a venv rather than a conda environment and everything went well. I suggest to stay away from the conda environment if possible when you want to distribute your Python app using pyinstaller.
