[FIXED] How to convert python file to exe? The 'pathlib' package is an obsolete backport of a standard library package and is incompatible with PyInstaller

Issue

I am receiving following error while converting python file to .exe I have tried to uninstall and intsall pyinstaller but it didnt helped out. i upgraded conda but still facing same error. Please support to resolve this issue

Command

(base) G:>pyinstaller --onefile grp.py

Error

The 'pathlib' package is an obsolete backport of a standard library package and is incompatible with PyInstaller. Please remove this package (located in C:\Users\alpha\anaconda3\lib\site-packages) using conda remove then try again.

Python Version

(base) G:>python --version Python 3.9.16

Solution

I face with the same problem, and I input the 'conda remove pathlib', it didn't work. The result is Not found the packages, so I found the lir 'lib', there was a folder named 'path-list-....', finally I delete it, and it began working!
