无法使用pip安装pyinstaller

Question

I am using Python 3.6.0

python --version
Python 3.6.0

I am trying to install pyinstaller using pip to a custom folder

pip install pyinstaller --target=/prj/qc-tools/lib/pyinstaller
Collecting pyinstaller
Collecting setuptools (from pyinstaller)
  Using cached setuptools-36.3.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: setuptools, pyinstaller
Successfully installed pyinstaller-3.2.1 setuptools-36.3.0

The folder doesn't have a pyinstaller.py in it.

ls
easy_install.py  pkg_resources  __pycache__  PyInstaller  PyInstaller-3.2.1.dist-info  setuptools  setuptools-36.3.0.dist-info

The documentation on pyinstaller.org does not say anything more. What do I do?

Answer 1

pip is for python2 and pip3 is for python3. You should install pip3 and try the command pip3 install pyinstaller --target=/prj/qc-tools/lib/pyinstaller

Answer 2

I ended up NOT using pip install. I downloaded the tarball from pypi, just extracted contents, and I am able to use pyinstaller.py directly to convert my scripts into executables.
