You are getting this error because you are using a relatively old version of setuptools that still has py27compat (and py33compat) modules, and because PyInstaller's setuptools hook explicitly excludes these two modules.

You can either:

• explicitly add those modules to hiddenimports, for example by adding the following to your PyInstaller command-line (provided you are not building from .spec): --hiddenimport setuptools.py33compat --hiddenimport setuptools.py27compat
• upgrade your setuptools, using pip install --upgrade setuptools

I think this is a bug in the hook, nevertheless. The hook should not be excluding those modules, even if they are for outdated versions of python, because as indicated from above traceback, that old version of setuptools attemtps to import them from its other modules.

Damn so it is. What on earth is that exclusion doing there...
