Deploy Python projects with ease

PyDeployment

PyDeployment provides an easy way to package Python projects on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This project is a wrapper that leverages existing software to take your project from repository to executable file. If you can run it with Python, you can ship it with PyDeployment.

How PyDeployment Works

PyDeployment uses PyInstaller to create an application directory. This created directory is then bundled into the preferred distribution method for the platform.

• On Windows, NSIS is used to create an installer (EXE).
• On macOS, the hdiutil command is used to create an Apple disk image (DMG).
• On Linux, appimagetool is used to create an AppImage.

Installing PyDeployment

Install PyDeployment with pip using the following command.

pip install --user pydeployment

Quick Start

After installing PyDeployment, use the pydeploy command and either a Python script or a PyInstaller spec file as the target.

pydeploy myapp.py

Documentation

Documentation for using PyDeployment can be found on the project website.
