pyinstaller-plus 0.1.29

PyInstaller builder plugin for DistroMate

pyinstaller-plus

Build Python desktop apps through distromate with PyInstaller as the host build tool.

Install

pip install pyinstaller-plus

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

Usage

Point distromate.yaml at the builder plugin and put PyInstaller arguments in source.options.pyinstallerArgs:

source:
  type: adapter
  plugin: pyinstaller
  options:
    projectDir: .
    pyinstallerArgs:
      - --onefile
      - --windowed
      - 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 pyinstaller-plus adds the dm-plugin-pyinstaller command. distromate no longer installs plugins for you.

Behavior

• runs python -m PyInstaller ... first
• derives productName, package.name, package.shortDescription, source.root, source.executable, icon, and publisher from PyInstaller args or .spec metadata
• 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.pyinstallerArgs is the main pass-through for PyInstaller arguments
• if version is not set in source.options, the plugin falls back to pyproject.toml -> project.version
