mac11.01 python3.8.2（install with Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_12.3.dmg）
when i use : pyinstaller -F player.py
the error like
.....
6067 INFO: Loading module hook 'hook-sysconfig.py' from '/Users/ddllmac11/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/PyInstaller/hooks'...
Unable to find "/Library/Python/3.8/include/pyconfig.h" when adding binary and data files.This would mean your Python installation doesn't
come with proper library files. This usually happens by missing development
package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.

• On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages
  • apt-get install python3-dev
  • apt-get install python-dev
• If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with
  --enable-shared (or, --enable-framework on Darwin)

how to deal with it?

How did you install Python?

How did you install Python?

I solve this proble by using brew install python 。Thanks

It's still an issue for me. I tried to satisfy pyinstaller with a brewed python installation, but it still fails the same way, probably because Apples dev tools ship python 3.8 while brew now installs 3.9.

Could we reopen the issue?
On a second though, this is probably not something to be fixed in pyinstaller. I guess I'll have to reconfigure the system to just use the brewed python installation and ignore the dev tools completely. Apple sure doesn't make it easy.

#5218 should fix this anyway.

Just a side note for someone else coming here with the same issue. Pyinstaller run worked fine when running from inside a virtualenv, not sure why.
