Hello,

Trying to use pyinstaller on windows 11 and python 3.12.
Got next exception:

AttributeError: module 'pkgutil' has no attribute 'ImpImporter'. Did you mean: 'zipimporter'?

The root cause is from here:

importlib.abc.Finder, pkgutil.ImpImporter, and pkgutil.ImpLoader have been removed. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in gh-98040.)

You probably need to upgrade setuptools, pkg_resources is part of the the setuptools package and not of altgraph

Hi, @ronaldoussoren,

Indeed, upgrading setuptools helped:
Updating setuptools (57.4.0 -> 69.5.1)

Thank you!
