distromate-flet

Build Python desktop apps through distromate with Flet's flet pack workflow.

Install

pip install distromate-flet

Install the DistroMate CLI separately. This package only provides the builder plugin entrypoint.

Usage

Point distromate.yaml at the builder plugin and put Flet pack arguments in source.options.fletArgs:

source:
  type: adapter
  plugin: flet
  options:
    projectDir: .
    fletArgs:
      - --name
      - demo-app
      - --product-name
      - Demo App
      - app.py

publish:
  appId: "70253487"
  channel: stable

package:
  publisher: Demo Inc.

Run DistroMate directly:

distromate package -v 1.2.3
distromate publish -v 1.2.3

Installing distromate-flet adds the dm-plugin-flet command. distromate no longer installs plugins for you.

Behavior

• runs python -m flet pack ... first
• derives productName, package.name, package.description, source.root, source.executable, icon, and publisher from Flet pack arguments
• merges generic DistroMate fields with values resolved from source.options
• returns prepared native source metadata plus inferred DistroMate defaults over JSON/stdio so distromate continues the package or publish flow

Notes

• source.options.fletArgs is the main pass-through for Flet pack arguments
• if version is not set in source.options, the plugin falls back to --product-version and then pyproject.toml -> project.version
