Pyinstaller might be having a problem with the alias you created. Try adding --hidden-import "bs4"

Ex:

    pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --console --hidden-import "bs4"  "./app.py"

Also, make sure pyinstaller is packaging using the correct interpreter. If you have other python interpreters they could be interfering. You can get the full path of the python executable by running

import sys
print(sys.executable)

There is an open-source GUI for pyinstaller that helps:

pip install auto-py-to-exe

To run just activate your virtualenv or conda environment and run in terminal:

auto-py-to-exe
