Pyinstaller: AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'

Question

I need to compile python code to exe. I've found some guide how to do it, where I was asked to install PyInstaller for that:

pip install --upgrade pyinstaller

But I get the next error:

C:\Users\alonat>pip install pyinstaller
Collecting pyinstaller

Please uninstall enum34 module if have installed and try again.

pip uninstall enum34

this will solve the error, if you need enum34 downgrade it to enum34==1.1.8
