Include sys.stderr in a Pyinstaller project - python-3.x

Question

One of the subdependencies of my project is transformers. This only happened when I upgraded transformers from 4.16.0 to the latest version 4.25.1. When I try to compile the project with pyinstaller I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 14, in <module>
...
File "transformers\utils\import_utils.py", line 36, in <module>
File "transformers\utils\logging.py", line 123, in get_logger
File "transformers\utils\logging.py", line 86, in _configure_library_root_logger
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'flush'
Upon further inspection I found the following function in logging.py. It seems that sys.stderr is being set as NoneType for some reason.
def _configure_library_root_logger() -> None:
global _default_handler
with _lock:
if _default_handler:
_default_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
_default_handler.flush = sys.stderr.flush # Error on this line
...
This is the file I'm using to compile the project:
# -*- mode: python ; coding: utf-8 -*-
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata
datas = []
datas += copy_metadata('tqdm')
datas += copy_metadata('numpy')
a = Analysis(['.main.py'],
pathex=['.'],
binaries=[],
datas=datas,
hiddenimports=[],
hookspath=[],
hooksconfig={},
runtime_hooks=[],
excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=None,
noarchive=False)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data, cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts,
[],
exclude_binaries=True,
name='MyApp',
debug=False,
bootloader_ignore_signals=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
console=False,
disable_windowed_traceback=False,
target_arch=None,
codesign_identity=None,
entitlements_file=None,
icon="icon.ico")
coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=True,
upx_exclude=[],
name='main')
I have tried setting the paths paramater: pathex=['.', 'path/to/env/Lib/site-packages']. I also tried including it as a hidden import: hiddenimports=['sys', 'sys.stderr']. But none of these seem to work. I know I can just downgrade, but I want to use the latest version.
