Spacebridge won’t build from source on the newer versions of python in raspbian buster (so I would presume it has similar results on other platforms). I see some comments in other threads on building hologram from source that they depend upon libraries in python 3.7 (buster uses python 3.9). I also found some threads in general on pyinstaller that say it’s a known bug in some versions of pyinstaller on some platforms.
I’ve tried a couple of different work-around such as changing the requirements.txt value but then it produces other errors.
