BUG: Pyinstaller fails to convert code with numpy

I wrote a simple script that takes user input and creates a .txt. My first iteration only wrote to the file and did not other work on the file. I added numpy library for the genfromtxt and find features. the code runs perfectly, but when I try to convert to an .exe file it will not package. The only additions to the script is numpy, and the previous version without it packaged without issue.

I’m a pretty novice coder and this may not be a numpy issue, but this is my best reasonable guess.

Reproducing code example:

****NOT APPLICABLE: Error is in conversion from .py to .exe. The code runs fine in the editor (PyCharm).

If numpy imports properly, I don’ t think we can really help you more. We did add some things for pyinstaller in numpy, but we are going to need someone who knows pyinstaller to figure this out. You may want to ask on their issue tracker or try digging in their documentation
