When I go to build my python program with PyInstaller to turn it into a windows exe, It throws an error: Unable to find "C:\Users\3jbc2\nltk_data" when adding binary and data files I have tried everything. Any ideas?

I ran into the same issue this morning. This resolved the issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57128735/using-pyinstaller-with-nltk-results-in-error-cant-find-nltk-data

Also, part of my issue ended up being that I was using Python 3.8 which isn't supported by PyInstaller yet. Running pyInstaller with Python 3.7 in PipEnv resolved that issue as well. Now working just fine!

Or, you could try and build a setup.py using setuptools and a bash script instead of an exe. Which results in virtually the same output, or so I think.
