PyInstaller TypeError：非序列迭代

Question

I am making an exe file from a .py file on Python 2.7. I am using PyInstaller.

I worked through this guide , which was basically pip install pyinstaller and then pyinstaller.exe --onefile --windowed myfile.py

It had a few errors saying that pywintypes27.dll and other dependencies were not found, but it kept going until it stopped with a TypeError: iteration over non-sequence error. Seems pretty close to the same problem I got using py2exe:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object.`

Here is the traceback:

Why am I getting this error and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

I had problems with the QtCore4 module. Try as in this answer to install the latest version of pyinstaller (development version). With this it worked for me.
