cx freeze - cx_Freeze crashing Python 3.7.0

Question

Is Python 3.7.0 supported with cx_Freeze 6.0b1 (latest version)? I just created a simple project and it works with Python 3.5.4 but it does not in Python 3.7.0 where it shows:

Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'encodings'

I've reported this upstream as #399.

The fix for this bug exists: pull request 395: Compilation correct .pyc files for Python 3.7.0. You can apply it by hand to your existing installation.
