Answer 1

The latest version of pyinstaller does not support Python 2.7, as described under Requirements .

For Python 2.7 to work, you must install version 3.6.

Answer 2

First of all, you should upgrade your python version and here you are importing the package that is not installed so install first using pip install importlib
