Building eel script exe with pyinstaller gets closing python console in few seconds

Question

I am trying to create an executable (exe) file using PyInstaller library for my code that uses eel.

EDIT: I fix that issue by reinstalling pyinstaller

I did not receive any errors while building the exe file using the command "python -m eel main.py web", only warnings. But when I try to start the exe file, it starts slow in the console and then opens the web page in Chrome. While console behind is open, the python functions works in web page, but the console closes after a few seconds later and all python connection is break. The console log from page returns "WebSocket is already in CLOSING or CLOSED state"

Ps. All code works perfectly in Pycharm

Python:

import eel
import sys
import platform

eel.init('web', allowed_extensions=['.js', '.html'])  # Give folder containing web files


@eel.expose  # Expose this function to Javascript
def py_test():
    eel.createAlert("test")
    print('test')
    return

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if sys.platform in ['win32', 'win64'] and int(platform.release()) >= 10:
        eel.start('main.html', mode='chrome', size=(1500, 1000))
    else:
        raise EnvironmentError('Error: System is not Windows 10 or above')

    });

Any tips to resolve this?

@СергейКох I don't believe that the code from either script is necessary, as the code works in the IDE. This issue pertains to using the PyInstaller method on Eel scripts. — golfinLP, Feb 08 '23 at 21:25
how do you expect anyone to be able to help debug the issue if you don't provide your code or a [mre] that produces the same issue? — Alexander, Feb 09 '23 at 03:53
