The future of PyInstaller seems to be uncertain #14

Seems like the maintainer of PyInstaller is looking for funding in order to invest more time: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4515#issuecomment-552083892

… and there is no Python 3.8 support yet.

After looking for alternatives and discussion in Pyslackers:#help some alternatives were brought up. https://github.com/anthony-tuininga/cx_Freeze https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka

Additionally it was mentioned that coconut might not do what is exactly needed but can transpile 3.8 to 3.7 which could then use pyInstaller https://coconut.readthedocs.io/en/latest/DOCS.html#allowable-targets

There's other options out there, but the above were recommended because of the support/ features.

I can confirm as a new core developer on PyInstaller that we'll support python 3.8 and 3.9 in the next release (sometime later this year - probably Dec)
