subprocess for pyinstaller

pip install pyinstallersubprocess

Based on https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6362#issuecomment-968156787

Read the post before using this module.

Here is the most important part:

"Make all your entry points available as python -m invokable submodules and change all your subprocess.run(["entry_point_foo"]) usages to subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "hello_word.entry_point_foo"]).

Extend those subprocess.run() calls to:

if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):

    subprocess.run([os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, "entry_point_foo")])

else:

    subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "hello_word.entry_point_foo"])

Run PyInstaller on each entry point submodule (e.g. hello_world/hello_world/run_hello_world.py) and make use of Merge() to put them together in one bundle."
