Is there an alternative to pyinstaller for python 3.8?

Question

Since pyinstaller is not available for python 3.8, is there any alternative to convert a .py file into a .exe file?

Edit(for better understanding): I am searching another compiler because pyinstaller is not updated for py 3.8 yet because of the changes in the python bootloader(https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4311)

Does this answer your question? [How can I convert a .py to .exe for Python?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41570359/how-can-i-convert-a-py-to-exe-for-python) — LinkBerest, Jul 27 '20 at 03:18

Alternatives for pyinstaller are,

py2exe
autopy2exe
cx_freeze

py2exe is the same like pyinstaller, autopy2exe has UI for converting the script to executable, cx_freeze is platform independent exe creation method.

PyOxidizer is another "fresh" one take in this domain.

Here is the comparison of it vs other tools mentioned in the accepted answer.
