【尝试过程】

1、卸载pyinstaller，并重新安装pyinstaller 5.13.2，无效；

2、尝试将之前备份过的pyinstaller包覆盖替换，无效；

3、尝试降级pyinstaller至最近的三个版本，pip install pyinstaller==5.10，无效；

4、尝试更新打包涉及到的相关包，无效；

【解决方法】

尝试继续降级pyinstaller的版本，成功解决问题：

pip install pyinstaller==4.5

【怀疑】

可能是安装的python版本是3.7版本，太旧了，只能使用比较老版本的pyinstaller，新版本会出现不兼容的情况，后续大家遇到类似的问题，可以参考一下。
