1764131 - No module named 'PyInstaller.__main__' when installing requirements on Mac

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: mozregression, defect)

Description

[Zeid [:zeid]]

Steps to reproduce:

Within the mozregression repo on macOS, run:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip3 install -r requirements/build.txt
pip3 install -e .

This is also causing tests to fail in CI. Reproduced using Python 3.9 on macOS 11.6.
