PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python interpreter or any modules.
- Documentation:
- Website:
- Code:
PyInstaller reads a Python script written by you. It analyzes your code to discover every other module and library your script needs in order to execute. Then it collects copies of all those files – including the active Python interpreter! – and puts them with your script in a single folder, or optionally in a single executable file.
PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux. However, it is not a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in Windows; to make a GNU/Linux app you run it in GNU/Linux, etc. PyInstaller has been used successfully with AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but is not tested against them as part of the continuous integration tests.
Main Advantages
Works out-of-the-box with any Python version 3.6-3.10.
Fully multi-platform, and uses the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility.
Correctly bundles the major Python packages such as numpy, PyQt5, PySide2, Django, wxPython, matplotlib and others out-of-the-box.
Compatible with many 3rd-party packages out-of-the-box. (All the required tricks to make external packages work are already integrated.)
Libraries like PyQt5, PySide2, wxPython, matplotlib or Django are fully supported, without having to handle plugins or external data files manually.
Works with code signing on OS X.
Bundles MS Visual C++ DLLs on Windows.
Installation
PyInstaller is available on PyPI. You can install it through pip:
pip install pyinstaller
Requirements and Tested Platforms
Python:
3.6-3.10
tinyaes 1.0+ (only if using bytecode encryption). Instead of installing tinyaes, pip install pyinstaller[encryption] instead.
Windows (32bit/64bit):
PyInstaller should work on Windows 7 or newer, but we only officially support Windows 8+.
Support for Python installed from the Windows store without using virtual environments requires PyInstaller 4.4 or later.
GNU/Linux (32bit/64bit)
ldd: Console application to print the shared libraries required by each program or shared library. This typically can be found in the distribution-package glibc or libc-bin.
objdump: Console application to display information from object files. This typically can be found in the distribution-package binutils.
objcopy: Console application to copy and translate object files. This typically can be found in the distribution-package binutils, too.
Mac OS X (64bit):
Mac OS X 10.13 (High Sierra) or newer.
Usage
Basic usage is very simple, just run it against your main script:
pyinstaller /path/to/yourscript.py
For more details, see the manual.
Untested Platforms
The following platforms have been contributed and any feedback or enhancements on these are welcome.
FreeBSD
ldd
Solaris
ldd
objdump
AIX
AIX 6.1 or newer. PyInstaller will not work with statically linked Python libraries.
ldd
PowerPC GNU/Linux (Debian)
Before using any contributed platform, you need to build the PyInstaller bootloader, as we do not ship binary packages. Download PyInstaller source, and build the bootloader:
cd bootloader python ./waf all
Then install PyInstaller:
python setup.py install
or simply use it directly from the source (pyinstaller.py).
Support
See http://www.pyinstaller.org/support.html for how to find help as well as for commercial support.
