The real issue is with pyinstaller and is a known issue: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2857

They kept on trying to fix it for a while but it seems like the solution is only going forth and back. Let's wait for the next release and ad-hoc fix it then if necessary.

Hi, I've been coming across this error using the pyrpl-osx executable on sourceforge. I've also tried making an executable using the instructions here, but it seems that these instructions are out of date. I had difficulty understanding how to follow the answer on Stackoverflow so if you could help with a solution that would be great. Cheers!
