pyinstaller ImportError error – how to solve it?

I have installed pyinstaller in my Linux in order to create an executable to my Python script, which runs normaly with the command:

python3 exemplo.py

However when I execute bellow command:

pyinstaller --onefile example.py

I get the following error:

File "/home/pedro/.local/bin/pyinstaller", line 11, in <module>
     sys.exit(run())   File "/home/pedro/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyInstaller/__main__.py",
line 79, in run
    import PyInstaller.building.build_main   File "/home/pedro/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyInstaller/building/build_main.py",

     from ..lib.modulegraph import util, modulegraph   File "/home/pedro/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyInstaller/lib/modulegraph/util.py",

line 29, in <module>
     from dis3 import get_instructions ImportError: No module named dis3

What is wrong?

I tried to install dis3:

python3 -m pip install --user dis3

But I still get the same error.

I uninstalled it …

python -m pip uninstall pyinstaller

Installed again as recommended.

python3 -m pip install --user pyinstaller

I have set the PATH variable:

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/db/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin:/home/pedro/.local/bin

Now I get the message:

pedro@pedro-pc:~/Documents/instabot/instabot_c.py$ python -m pyinstaller --onefile example.py
/usr/bin/python: No module named pyinstaller

Indeed … it does not appear on pip list:

pedro@pedro-pc:~/Documents/instabot/instabot_c.py/__pycache__$ pip list
