I have also install pythonnet but it is still not working neither can I find the dll

This is not a direct answer to your question, but I have had a lot of issues with pyinstaller myself in the past year. At this point I have the process perfected that I almost never have issues anymore. The key for me has been:
Do not use virtual environments (venv). I use a separate older computer specifically for pyinstaller. The computer only has basic python, pycharm and the libraries I need for my build installed to site packages. I install everything globally. I remove libraries I do not need.
If a library causes problems like you describe, try installing an older versio of said library.
To follow up:
Using pycharm does not work or pycharm in general does not work?
What I would recommend you do is what I do on a fresh computer:
Make sure you know which libraries your project requires. You could generate a requirements file: Automatically create requirements.txt
Uninstall python / anaconda from your computer completely incl all libs.
Reinstall python (not anaconda as it has way to many libraries) and click yes if installer asks you to add to path. Install pycharm community edition if you do not have it.
Install pyinstaller and other libs you need, but install them globally! I recommend using pycharm. Settings>yourproject>python interpreter>little plus icon>libraries you need. IMPORTANT: CHOOSE TO INSTALL TO SITE PACKAGE DIRECTORY:
Go to terminal in pycharm and type: pyinstaller --onefile my_python_file.py
You should now get an .exe file. in a dist folder in the directory of your file.
NOTE: the above should not be necessary and pyinstaller can work with virtual environments, but I have found it to be the most reliable way to use pyinstaller.

Try installing py2exe. This program also bundles python programs into .exe files, and I have used it for one of my games. To install this program, simply type into the command line:
python -m pip install py2exe
For more resources on py2exe, check out these links:
http://www.py2exe.org/
https://github.com/py2exe/py2exe

You should reinstall python and add it to your path, that might help you. There are lot of videos online you can refer to.

PYINSTALLER FAILED TO EXECUTE SCRIPT (used pynput)

Recently, I have installed pyinstaller 4.2.
This is the error I get after running the script from cmd:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The command I used to convert to .exe is "pyinstaller --onefile Keylogger.exe"
I am a beginner coder so I don't understand what the error actually is. Can anyone pls help me? Thank you.

Try running the below command.
pyinstaller --onefile Keylogger.py
Your python file ends with .py extension.

I want to convert Python to exe that imported tensorflow

There was a problem with exe conversion using the pyinstaller.

this error.. i can find problem
why can not import pywrap_tensorflow? and what is pywrap_tensorflow?

Pywrap tensorflow is a wrapper for TensorFlow SWIG-generated bindings.
How to use pyinstaller:
First, install the pyinstaller using command prompt by executing
pip install pyinstaller:
Run this line in cmd:
pip install auto-py-to-exe
To open the application run this line in cmd:
auto-py-to-exe
There are few main options you need to choose:
Pick your .py file
Pick "One Directory" or "One File" option
Pick additional files
Then, open the application run this line in cmd, enter the command
pyinstaller filename.py replace the filename with your python code file.

First; create a virtual environment. To do this, you should run this on cmd:
pip install virtualenv
And then, run this:
python -m venv VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT'S_NAME
VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT'S_NAME/Scripts/activate
pip install pyinstaller
And then, download all the libraries that you use. For example:
pip install requests
pip install datetime
Move your code file to:
VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT'S_NAME/Scripts
Now, you can convert it using:
pyinstaller --onefile PYTHON_FILE'S_NAME

Can't transform a python program into exe

I want to transform a simple .py code into .exe using PyInstaller, the program works fine with python, but when I transform it into .exe using PyInstaller, it returns the error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named numpy.core._dtype.ctypes
I tried installing the ctypes module, but the same error happenened.
How can I fix this error?
.py code:
import numpy
input("Worked")
cmd output:

after I added to the beginning of the code:
import numpy.core._dtype_ctypes
my code works
spied on KmolYuan

As an alternative solution, you can downgrade your numpy package via
python -m pip install numpy==1.15.0
as there seems to be a problem for pyinstaller using the current numpy release (1.16.0).

PyInstaller Hidden Imports

I have a fully working Python program that uses the following imports:
import json
import requests
from natsort import natsorted
However, when I try to compile it to an executable using PyInstaller, I get the following errors:
Note: May not be perfect, as it was captured by my reaction times and a screenshot:
File "site-packages\requests\packages\urllib3\packages\six.py", line 82, in _import_module
ImportError: No module named 'queue'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ImportError: No module named 'urllib3'
Failed to execute script huepy3
I read the error, and tried to import urllib3 in my code as well. That returned the same errors as well. I'm thinking it's down to the location of urllib3 in relation to requests, but how can I solve this? I read online about FileDialog, and again it returned the same error.
Any pointers on this would be much appreciated.
Edit: It's not just the queue import problem, it's more of how to change the paths the library requests is trying to import from and how pyinstaller is going to get those paths in the first instance.
Edit 2: Ok, maybe I should ask how PyInstaller compiles the dependencies it finds and where it stores them? I could then give it a shot myself.
Edit 3: Through hours of crawling the web I believe I might be after hidden imports. How do those works for getting urllib3 in?

You can either:
update the spec file manually to include urllib3
or
run pyinstaller with the argument --hidden-import=urllib3
