I would recommend that you use auto-py-to-exe instead, to install this type:

pip3 install auto-py-to-exe

Next just type:

auto-py-to-exe

Into the terminal and it will be pretty straightforward from then on.

where python

or run this in a script:

import sys
import os
print(os.path.dirname)
print(os.path.dirname(sys.executable))
