I'm not able to test 3.8 at the moment, but are there any issues you have discovered? Or is the issue that I am not stating that 3.8 is supported?

pyinstaller/pyinstaller#4311 has been closed but we will have to wait for the new release to PyPI before 3.8 can be officially supported.

Using the dev branch of pyinstaller, I have not had any issues on python 3.9.

To do this enter pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.tar.gz in the command line.

Yes, but there needs to be a release that officially supports Python 3.8 otherwise we will probably run into issues around pip.

You can install pyinstaller manually if you want, this tool should work with the latest.

In the readme, pyinstaller lists 3.5-3.8 as supported

@reirose, are you still having issues?

@unbeatable-101 yes, I understand that. But that is the master branch, which has not been released to PyPI officially yet.

As judge2020's comment in pyinstaller#4311 linked above stated:

the PR was merged in 96ad296, so it's there, but there hasn't been a release yet. If you install from the develop branch instead of pypi (see below), you should have the relevant commit and the latest changes, although there might be more bugs than in a release.

If you go to pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/ and look at the supported Python versions, it clearly states:

Works out-of-the-box with any Python version 3.5-3.7.

Thanks for letting me know @unbeatable-101 - I'll take a look at making PyInstaller 4.1 a required dependency for the project to support Python 3.8 + 3.9
