I get the following error when attempting to install clcache with pyinstaller:

Same error in a Python 2.7.14 environment

Was there ever any resolution here?

I am seeing a similar error.

attempting to install clcache with pyinstaller

To manually build executable of clcache you need pyinstaller/clcache_main.py script, I'm not sure that it available when you are using pip to install clcache.

So you need to clone git repo, then use python -mpip install . to install clcache from code and then you can use pyinstaller pyinstaller/clcache_main.py to get executable.

Or you can just download it at Release page https://github.com/frerich/clcache/releases/download/v4.2.0/clcache-4.2.0.zip
