compiling python script to exe with py2exe, getting error

Question

So I have a script called papercutter.py and a setup.py that is set up as follows according to the py2exe tutorial:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=['papercutter.py'])

So following the tutorial, i run python setup.py py2exe and it looks successful:

c:\Codes>python setup.py install
running install
running build
running install_egg_info
Removing C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\UNKNOWN-0.0.0-py3.6.egg-info
Writing C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\UNKNOWN-0.0.0-py3.6.egg-info

but when I run the next step, python setup.py py2exe, I get error:

c:\Codes>python setup.py py2exe
running py2exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 4, in <module>

  File "C:\Python\lib\site-packages\py2exe\mf3.py", line 381, in     _scan_opcodes
    yield "store", (names[oparg],)
IndexError: tuple index out of range

What am I doing wrong here?

Note: this is the tutorial I am following: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial

Also note: I am using py2exe 0.9.2.0 and python 3.6.0. I think these should be fine together.

The answer is at the bottom of the Traceback. Seems like you have an indexing problem with a tuple. Indexes are 0 based in Python.

I don't use any arrays in my script though. I just go to a website and click a few things

Currently py2exe supports Python up to 3.4
