Answer 1

From what I read in the error it seems like a networking issue to me. Can you please try a simple ping from your command prompt to be sure that it is working correctly?
ping 8.8.8.8

Maybe you have an Antivirus / Firewall that needs to be - just temporarily for troubleshooting purpouse - disabled?

If all the above is fine please try the same command you used to install the module from a command window that was opened with administrator rights (right click on "command prompt" and then on "Execute as Administrator").

If this fails you can also install the module cloning it from the github repo using the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/brentvollebregt/auto-py-to-exe.git
$ cd auto-py-to-exe
$ python setup.py install
