WARNING: You are using pip version 19.2.3, however version 20.3.4 is available.          
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.    

I have python2 version 2.7.18 and python version 3.9.10 installed and pip 22.1.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/pip. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Python, Wine but the error doesn’t go away.

Answer

The latest PyInstaller version for Python2.7 is 3.6.
So you need to tell pip which PyInstaller version to install:

...python.exe -m pip install pyinstaller==3.6
