Is there a py2exe version that's compatible with python 3.5?

py2exe python-3.5

I am trying to compile my python 3.5 file with the latest py2exe version 0.9.2.2 with the following command:

py -3.5 -m py2exe.build_exe myscript.py

But it reports this:

"run-py3.5-win-amd64.exe" file is not found in the ...lib\site-packages\py2exe\ folder.

Does this mean that py2exe 0.9.2.2 is only compatible up to python 3.4?

Unfortunately as of November 2016 there is still no Python 3.5 support in sight for py2exe. However, I've had great success using cx_Freeze 5.0 with Python 3.5 and since both projects use a very similar configuration I've migrated away from py2exe to cx_Freeze without much work. Binary Wheels of cx_Freeze 5.0 for Python 3.5 are now available officially on PyPi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cx_Freeze
