PyInstaller Problem

[Jacklittle01]

I am using PyInstaller now for building, but I still have a problem! My error is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File C:/Users/Jack/Desktop/pyinstaller-pyinstaller-61571d6/PyInstaller/Build.py
from PyInstaller.loader import pyi_archive, pyi_carchive
ImportError: cannot import name pyi_archive

Please help! I am very frustrated with no way to compile my scripts!

Better you user pip installer instead off pyinstaller...
or else you can use easy_install
Hope this helps.
