Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the reported Python 3.6.5 setup and PyInstaller develop.zip, starting from the loader traceback and site-packages/nacl/bindings/crypto_box.py. Trace how the PyInstaller bundle discovers nacl._sodium and _cffi_backend; done means the bundled application imports PyNaCl without the reported ModuleNotFoundError.
