PyInstaller: StopIteration Error when I import geopandas

I am trying to execute PyInstaller on a my script. I installed all of the required packages and the .exe is succesfully created.

But when I execute it on another machine, I get he Following error:

Solution 1:

Did you try this answer's solution ? :

I don't use the geopandas datasets in my project/s so instead of manually including them in my .spec file I just commented out the import geopandas.datasets statement from: File "site-packages\geopandas\__init__.py", line 9, in <module>.

It kind of worked for me - I did stop having this Stop Iteration error. Instead I got another error (in my case it's a CRS Error) but this one seems to be more easily solvable.

Anyway, there are definitely compatibility issues between pyinstaller and geopandas linked to its dependencies (pyproj, fiona...) so I think if you get more errors, it's also worth checking the import of each of these modules separately.
