What is an EXE application?
An EXE (Executable) application is a file format that enables a program to run on a Windows operating system. It contains machine code that can be executed directly by the computer’s CPU, allowing the program to perform specific tasks or functions as designed by the software developer.
Why create an EXE application using python?
Creating an EXE application using Python can be beneficial for several reasons, including the ease of distributing your software to users who may not have Python installed, ensuring that your application can run independently without requiring a Python interpreter, and enhancing the security of your code by bundling it into a single executable file.
How does PyInstaller work?
PyInstaller works by analyzing your Python program, detecting its dependencies, and bundling everything into a standalone executable package. It collects all the necessary modules, libraries, and resources used by your script and packages them together, along with the Python interpreter if necessary, into a single executable file that can run independently on a target system without requiring a Python installation.
Tutorial Python – Create an executable using PyInstaller
Install PyInstaller.
Create a Python script.
Turn this script into a Windows EXE file.
Pyinstaller will create a single executable file from your Python script.
This executable file will be created in the DIST directory.
Start the Windows application with a double click or using the command line.
Create a single executable file from multiple scripts.
PyInstaller will parse both files, collect their dependencies, and create a single executable that includes the code from both scripts.
