Integrate "pyinstaller" to "setuptools"

Project description

Integrate “pyinstaller” to “setuptools”. This will make it easy to freeze your package. More precisely, it will create a executable file form the console scripts entry points in your package.

How to use

Add “setuptools_freeze” to your setup requires:

setup(
    ...
    setup_requires=[
        'setuptools_freeze',
        ...
    ],
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts': ['<script name>=mypackage.gui:main']
    },
    ...
)

Now you can freeze your project:

python setup.py pyinstaller

This will create the folder “dist/<script name>”, which include the executable file.

If you also use “Inno Setup” to create a executable setup file, you can use the “inno” command. Before that you have to do two thinks. 1. Install “Inno Setup” and add the compiler to your $PATH 2. Add a guid to the setup file Now you can run:

python setup.py inno

This is still under develop. This is even more a proof of concept, than a beautiful package. But it work for my case and hopefully I will make it beautiful in future.
