I'm using auto-py-to-exe to turn python files into executables, and it requires PyInstaller. PyInstaller doesn't work though.

I also had this error (on windows) with setuptools 28.8.0, then tried 38.7.0, still had it. After a full upgrade, now with setuptools 40.6.2 I do not get this error.

This special extern.six.moves hook seems to need a newish version to function.

I can confirm that the suggestion from @mccullerlp works for me on OSX Mojave. Possibly a duplicate of #3507

I also had this error (on windows) with setuptools 28.8.0, then tried 38.7.0, still had it. After a full upgrade, now with setuptools 40.6.2 I do not get this error.

This special extern.six.moves hook seems to need a newish version to function.

I have tried on Windows py36, it works, thank you! Attach command:
pip install -U --pre setuptools
