Compiling Selenium script using PyInstaller, getting TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes)

The following is a truncated version of my code, which runs perfectly using Jupyter Notebook. I'm looking to have it compiled into an .exe, using Pyinstaller.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from selenium import webdriver
import os, sys
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions as ec


def resource_path(relative_path):
    """ Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
    try:
        # PyInstaller creates a temp folder and stores path in _MEIPASS
        base_path = sys._MEIPASS
    except Exception:
        base_path = os.path.abspath(".")

    return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)


driver = webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\Users\User\Desktop\Folder\chromedriver.exe")
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("www.google.com")


wait_proxy = input("Press any key to exit...")

I added the resource_path function by referencing some posts on Stack Overflow, but am not too sure whether it is truly required.

Unfortunately, I get the error as below:
