If I import the requests module, then when I run the executable I get:

ImportError: No module named 'requests.packages.chardet'

I tried to post to the pyinstaller group, but it said my post had to
be approved by the moderator, and it apparently never was. I have no
idea who the moderator is, so there was no one I could contact about
that. I posted an issue to github
(https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2060) and some
suggestions were made, but none fixed the problem. I am on RHEL 7.2
with Python 2.7.5, and it's reproducible, just by having a 1 line
script that has "import requests". Thanks for any help you could
provide.

That's a classic issue. pyinstaller does static analysis of the program, 
which modules must be included. If the code computes a module 
dynamically, it can not always succeed. The solution is to tell 
pyinstaller to add this module. In previous versions, you could add 
these by "pyinstaller --hidden-import=requests.packages.chardet" or 
similar. If this doesn't work, you need to edit the spec file. See here:

Yes, I had seen that and I tried it with:

--hidden-import=requests.packages.chardet

and I got the same error at run time:

$ dist/pyi_test/pyi_test
