Python 'py2exe' not working after following the tutorial

Question

I am trying to follow py2exe tutorial with 'Hello World' but run into errors. Here are my steps. Created hello.py as below:

print ('Hello World!')

Made sure it works:

D:\Users\test>python hello.py
Hello World!

Created setup.py as instructed:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=['hello.py'])

Run dos command:

D:\Users\test>python setup.py install
running install
running install_egg_info
Removing C:\Python364\Lib\site-packages\UNKNOWN-0.0.0-py3.6.egg-info
Writing C:\Python364\Lib\site-packages\UNKNOWN-0.0.0-py3.6.egg-info
D:\Users\test>

Then run another DOS command:

D:\Users\test>python setup.py py2exe
running py2exe
Traceback (most recent call last):

IndexError: tuple index out of range
D:\Users\test>

Has anyone run into same situation?

From Python - IndexError: tuple index out of range when using py2exe, I've had success with a Python 3.6 program using the fork of py2exe at https://github.com/albertosottile/py2exe, comment made by @Rasjid Wilcox, https://github.com/albertosottile/py2exe working for Python 3.6. It works for 32-bit too.
