Question posted in 
I am trying to create an executable from a python script, using pyinstaller, and am getting the error seen in the subject line. The particulars:
- python – version 3.9.2
- pyinstaller – version 4
- I am running on Debian Linux
I evoke pyinstaller as:
pyinstaller --onefile pythonfile.py
When I looked to see what libpython*.so files were resident, I see libpython3.7*.so, and the error shows I need to install libpython3.9*so files.
I have tried:
pip3 install PyInstaller (to load on pyinstaller)
apt-get install python3-dev (as recommended in the pyinstaller error msg)
apt-get install python-dev (as recommended in the pyinstaller error msg)
apt-get upgrade
apt-get update
but still get the error. How can I get the correct libpython*.so files loaded (i.e., 3.9)? TIA.

You need to generate the shared lib using:
I’m not sure whether 3.9.2 is working if not try 3.9.0
Official Document Here.
Or try this:
sudo apt-get install libpython3.7-dev
it worked for me
