py2winapp

Make runnable apps from your python scripts!

Description

How it works

This script performs the following actions:

• Copies your source files to the build folder
• Downloads Python interpreter to the build folder
• Installs pip
• Installs your project's requirements
• Makes an executable startup file wich runs your main script

You'll get a portable Windows application!

Requirements and limitations

• Python 3.9+
• Tested on Windows 10 only
• Now only x64 architecture is supported.

Installation

With pip:

pip install py2winapp

With poetry:

poetry add --group build py2winapp

Usage

In project's root create build.py:

# build.py

import py2winapp

def make_build():
    py2winapp.build(
        python_version="3.11.3",
        input_source_dir="directory-where-your-source-files-are",
        main_file="main.py",  # your app's entry point
        show_console=True,  # or False if your app is GUI only
    )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    make_build()

Run command:

python build.py

You can find build and distribution in build and dist folders now.

Poetry

Add to pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
build = "build:make_build"

Now you can run building with:

poetry run build
