I have one file with my own utils I use in many projects. In order not to copy it to every single project and manually pip install everything needed, I decided to make module out of it.
However, when I use PyInstaller to create .exe file from project and try to run it, I get error:

I'm not even sure what to do now. I see that some paths refer to Temp folder, don't know, however, if this is how it should be.
