Answer 1

I will try to give you a short list of reasons for this failure.

1. Auto Py To Exe uses (is based on) PyInstaller
2. PyInstaller has no support for Python 3.8
3. So, Auto Py To Exe doesn't work with Python 3.8.x but it does for Python : Python >= 2.7 ( including 3.7 🎉 ) Read here

Answer 2

PyInstaller is not supported on Python 3.8 yet. This solution works:

    pip uninstall pyinstaller
    pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip
    pip install -U gevent==1.5a3
    pip install -U auto-py-to-exe
