Pyinstaller TypeError

Question

I've tried using Pyinstaller and no matter what code I try, it gives me "TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes)" even on the simplest hello world code. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Might I suggest you download pycharm, which is a program that will enable you to code and run python on your computer.
Unfortunately, I have no previous experience with pyinstaller and the process you are describing.

Answer 2

Please attach a sample of your code, its easier to help if we can see the problem. 👍

Answer 3

I'm doing it from the command line. Is that how I run pyinstaller? I open cmd on my computer and type "pyinstaller myfile.py"

It runs through a lot of steps and then gives that error. It doesn't matter what the file contains. Even if the only code is "print("Hello World").
