Error building executable with cx_Freeze: IndexError: tuple index out of range

Background

I have made a program that I am trying to turn into an executable using CX_Freeze. The setup.py file is placed inside the same directory as all files I am working with. I don't use any extra libraries other than TKinter and OS.

The program works perfectly fine normally when I run it via PyCharm>Run

Version Numbers

cx_Freeze ver: - 5.0
cx_Freeze .whl: - cx_Freeze-5.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
python ver: - 3.6.0b4
pycharm ver: - 2016.3.1

This is my `setup.py` file

import cx_Freeze
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable


base = None

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    base = "Win32GUI"

cx_Freeze.setup(
    name = "FileOrganizer-Client",
    options = {"build_exe": {"packages":["tkinter","os"],"include_files":["icon2.ico"]}},
    version = "0.01",
    description = "File Organizer",
    executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("alpha_GUI.py", base=base, icon="icon2.ico")]
)

This is the error I get when I run "python setup.py build" inside the directory

IndexError: tuple index out of range

I am not very skilled or familiar with any of this so I hope I didn't leave anything out. Please let me know if any more information is needed.

This has been submitted as a bug in cx_freeze, Python 3.6 has introduced some changes to code objects (most notably with PEP 523) so it might have introduced certain bugs in applications that depend on them.

Keep track of the issue on cx_freeze and remember that certain errors might pop up when using a newly released version of Python.

As an aside, since you import cx_Freeze and access setup and Executable through there, there's no need for the:
