I am trying to ship an executable from my python script which lives inside a virtual environment using pipenv which again relies on pyenv for python versioning. For that, I want to us pyinstaller.
What I did:
pipenv install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile my_script.py
Output:

This would mean your Python installation doesn't come with proper library files.
This usually happens by missing development package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.* On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages* apt-get install python3-dev* apt-get install python-dev
* If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with `--enable-shared` (or, `--enable-framework` on Darwin)
I tried the recommended python3-dev and python-dev installations without luck. Now, I hope someone can enlighten me what is going on here!
Cheers, Matt
