title: pyinstaller creating empty dist folder/ no EXE
body: <p>I am trying to create a exe for some python script.</p>
  
  <p>The script runs perfectly but I cannot seem to create an exe. I have tried pyinstaller and py2exe but neither seem to work. </p>
  
  <p>pyinstaller runs fine then creates an empty dist folder (no exe) on 3.8 (I am guessing this is due to compatibility issues). </p>
  
  <p>When I run pyinstaller on 3.7 is states; 'pyinstaller' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.</p>
  
  <p>When I try py2exe on either 3.7 or 3.8 it fails and states; IdexError: tuple index out of range.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a particular version of python I should use for pyinstaller?
  (3.7.4 ok?)</p>
  
  <p>Also, is there any way of removing all python files and files associated with python through cmd to start fresh? (I am concerned I may not be running solely on one version of python which could cause the error?)</p>
  
  <p>My code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>print("hello world")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just need an exe file.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be very much appreciated!!</p>
  
  <p>Thank you! </p>
