That's a classic issue. pyinstaller does static analysis of the program, 
which modules must be included. If the code computes a module 
dynamically, it can not always succeed. The solution is to tell 
pyinstaller to add this module. In previous versions, you could add 
these by "pyinstaller --hidden-import=requests.packages.chardet" or 
similar. If this doesn't work, you need to edit the spec file. See here:
