Question: I have been trying out an open-sourced personal AI assistant script. The script works fine but I want to create an executable so that I can gift the executable to one of my friends. However, when I try to create the executable using the auto-py-to-exe, it states the below error: Running auto-py-to-exe v2.10.1 Building directory: C:\Users\Tarun\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpjaw1ky1x Provided command: pyinstaller --noconfirm --onedir --console --no-embed-manifest "C:/Users/Tarun/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/AI_Ass.py" Recursion Limit is set to 5000 Executing: pyinstaller --noconfirm --onedir --console --no-embed-manifest C:/Users/Tarun/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/AI_Ass.py --distpath C:\Users\Tarun\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpjaw1ky1x\application --workpath C:\Users\Tarun\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpjaw1ky1x\build --specpath C:\Users\Tarun\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpjaw1ky1x 42681 INFO: PyInstaller: 4.6 42690 INFO: Python: 3.10.0 42732 INFO: Platform: Windows-10-10.0.19042-SP0 42744 INFO: wrote C:\Users\Tarun\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpjaw1ky1x\AI_Ass.spec 42764 INFO: UPX is not available. 42772 INFO: Extending PYTHONPATH with paths ['C:\\Users\\Tarun\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310'] 43887 INFO: checking Analysis 43891 INFO: Building Analysis because Analysis-00.toc is non existent 43895 INFO: Initializing module dependency graph... 43915 INFO: Caching module graph hooks... 43975 INFO: Analyzing base_library.zip ... 54298 INFO: Processing pre-find module path hook distutils from 'C:\\Users\\Tarun\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\lib\\site-packages\\PyInstaller\\hooks\\pre_find_module_path\\hook-distutils.py'. 54306 INFO: distutils: retargeting to non-venv dir 'C:\\Users\\Tarun\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\lib' 57474 INFO: Caching module dependency graph... 58088 INFO: running Analysis Analysis-00.toc 58132 INFO: Adding Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls to dependent assemblies of final executable required by C:\Users\Tarun\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe 58365 INFO: Analyzing C:\Users\Tarun\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\AI_Ass.py 59641 INFO: Processing pre-safe import module hook urllib3.packages.six.moves from 'C:\\Users\\Tarun\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\lib\\site-packages\\PyInstaller\\hooks\\pre_safe_import_module\\hook-urllib3.packages.six.moves.py'.

I understand that there is a thread already about similar issue but it still doesn't solve the issue. Hence seeking out help I really have no idea why is the error occurring and how to resolve it. I am pasting the script below for your reference. Can some one please help?

Answer: This is a Python 3.10 issue. To fix it: You have to go to the folder "Python310\Lib" and edit the file 'dis.py'. In the 'dis.py' file you have to find this "def _unpack_opargs" and inside the else statement write a new line with this: "extended_arg = 0", then save the file. I did something like that: else: arg = None extended_arg = 0 yield (i, op, arg)  and everything is working fine now. I found the solution here: https://bugs.python.org/issue45757 https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6301
