Edit
Since this answer was posted, gevent
has released several new versions, including prebuilt wheels for Python 3.8 on Windows, so the pip install gevent --pre
shouldn’t be necessary anymore – just run pip install auto-py-to-exe
as usual and it should work.
Original answer
Allow prerelease gevent
versions via
$ pip install gevent --pre
$ pip install auto-py-to-exe
Explanation: auto-py-to-exe
is installable on Python 3.8 on Windows without any issues (this can be verified e.g. by running pip install auto-py-to-exe --no-deps
). However, it requires bottle-websocket
to be installed, which in turn has gevent
dependency. gevent
did not release a stable version that offers prebuilt wheels for Python 3.8 yet (this would be 1.5), so pip
doesn’t pick up prebuilt wheels and tries to build gevent==1.4
from source dist. Installing the prerelease 1.5 version of gevent
avoids this.
