Description : freeze (package) Python programs into stand-alone executables
PyInstaller is a program that freezes (packages) Python programs into
stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD,
Solaris and AIX. Its main advantages over similar tools are that
PyInstaller works with Python 2.7 and 3.3—3.5, it builds smaller
executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully
multi-platform, and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries,
thus ensuring full compatibility.
The main goal of PyInstaller is to be compatible with 3rd-party packages
out-of-the-box. This means that, with PyInstaller, all the required
tricks to make external packages work are already integrated within
PyInstaller itself so that there is no user intervention required.
You'll never be required to look for tricks in wikis and apply custom
modification to your files or your setup scripts. As an example,
libraries like PyQt, Django or matplotlib are fully supported, without
having to handle plugins or external data files manually.
