creating stand-alone executable for windows from python code

Question

I have a python code which uses the pygkt, gtk, ctypes, os and some other modules. I used pyinstaller to create a stand-alone executive of the code. It worked fine on ubuntu

Answer 1

I'd recommend using pyinstaller

Example:

$ pip install pyinstaller
$ pyinstaller -F myscript.py

You should now have a build/myscript/myscript.exe executable.

Answer 2

If in Windows, Best way to do it is via Cygwin. Ensure you have Python 3.5+ version not 3.6

pip install pyinstaller

Go to the directory where the .py file is which needs to be packaged.

Then run

$ pyinstaller --onefile test.py

Simple to have a single file executable.
