This is the last article of my "Build a Binary Series". If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out the others. For our finale, we are to look at Andrea Gavana's wxPython-based GUI2Exe, a nice graphical user interface to py2exe, bbfreeze, cx_Freeze, PyInstaller and py2app. The latest release of GUI2Exe is 0.5.0, […]
The bbfreeze package also allows us to create binaries, but only on Linux and Windows. It's just an easy_install away, so if you plan on following along with the examples in the article, you should go get it. The bbfreeze package includes egg support, so it can include egg dependencies in your binary, unlike py2exe. […]
In this article, we will be learning about cx_Freeze, a cross-platform set of scripts designed to "freeze" Python scripts into executables in a manner similar to py2exe, PyInstaller, etc. We will freeze one console script and one window (i.e GUI) script, using the examples from the previous article in this series. If you haven't done […]
In our previous article on building binaries, we learned a little about py2exe. This time around, we will be focusing our collective attention on the ins and outs of PyInstaller. We'll use the same lame wxPython script from the last article for one of our examples, but we'll also try a normal console script to […]
I received a request to create an article on how to use py2exe and wxPython to create an executable. I decided to do a series on packaging instead. It is my intention to go over the major Windows binary building utilities and show you, dear reader, how to use them to create a binary that […]
