PyInstaller won't install, Python 3.6.0a4 and x64 Windows

Question

I have said Python version (from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/), and x64 Windows 10. Every time I try to execute "pip install pyinstaller" it crashes with an error:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install pyinstaller
Collecting pyinstaller
  Using cached PyInstaller-3.2.tar.gz
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in c:\users\jskurski\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages (from pyinstaller)
Collecting pefile (from pyinstaller)
  Using cached pefile-2016.3.28.tar.gz
Collecting pypiwin32 (from pyinstaller)
  Using cached pypiwin32-219.zip
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:\Users\jskurski\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-y9lsbd5f\pypiwin32\setup.py", line 121
        print "Building pywin32", pywin32_version
                               ^
    SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\jskurski\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-y9lsbd5f\pypiwin32\

So, for me it seems there is a version msmatch or something. Unofortunately, I can not figure it out myself.

Any suggestions? Has anybody sucessfully used PyInstaller with latest 3.6 Python on Windows? Or maybe I should downgrade Python to older version?

edit: tested on another PC (same enviroment) and it was the same.

edit2: seems to work on 3.5.2 version, so it's probably a way to go, for now.

pyinstaller needs pypiwin32 module. when pip tries to install it, it shows an error because there is no pypiwin32 for python3.6
