It has something to do with pip. For the meantime you can downgrade, install pyinstaller, and then re-upgrade pip.

pip install pip==18.1

@alimp5 Did you even look at the issues before posting? There is an issue pinned, and this is for some good reason. Thanks for wasting my spare time!

This is a pip issue. see #4007.
