I'm using miniforge conda package manager to build my environment . within it i have the following componetns:
Python 3.10.14
PyInstaller 6.8.0

When i freeze my app and then run it i get the following error :

[3594] Module object for pyimod02_importers is NULL!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "PyInstaller/loader/pyimod02_importers.py", line 22, in <module>

here is the log from pyinstaller:

Any idea what could cause this ?

I tried to use the python and then run "import pathlib" and it did work . Its part of python's standard library.

Hmm, we aren't importing pathlib on line 22 in pymod02_importers in v6.8.0, and we haven't been doing that since 9bc447f, which was released with v6.0.0.

So my first guess would be that your current build is reusing cached files from earlier builds made with v5.x. Can you try performing a clean build, i.e., add --clean to your PyInstaller command?
