The openai-whisper package apparently no longer excepts python 3.7(.9). The requirement is now openai-whisper>=3.8 . I tried building the venv with python 3.7.9 and got the version error for openai-whisper. The easiest solution was to download python 3.8.0 and build the venv with: py -3.8 -m venv venv . After that the pip install -r requirements.txt command worked fine. I tested building the exe file and the py file and everything worked as it should. Perhaps a good idea to upgrade the python version?
