We have simply created an application for windows but you should take note that the executable cannot work if taken out of the dist folder. When the dist folder is created, we can see how the files have been bundled into fewer files. Now you can re-initialize py2exe in the project’s environment. Since the files are a lot and quite confusing sometimes, to bundle these files, we can add these few lines to our setup.py script. Running this command initializes py2exe and it creates a new dist folder containing all the files required to run the python script. Once we have our python and setup script ready, using the terminal, we can now run the following command in the same directory where our python and setup scripts are. Then, we have our setup script as: from re import setup However, when working with a GUI, we would replace console with windows.įor instance, we have the following script test.py: print ( "This is a test program\n") Now that you have py2exe installed, you can create the setup.py script: from re import setup To install py2exe in your project's environment, run the command: pip install py2exe Py2exe is a very common python compiler package for windows. How to compile Python Scripts with Py2exe for Windows If you complete these steps properly, your app should be up and running well.
So, in this article, I’ll be highlighting how to compile your Python scripts into executables(applications) that run on Windows and macOS. However, we can’t assume all our friends are tech-savvy and give them your scripts to run.
For every new learner, it is normal to want to share your projects amongst friends so they can use that amazing thing that you’ve built.
