Hello, on behalf of the PyInstaller development team I'm happy to announce PyInstaller 3.1
http://www.pyinstaller.org Thanks for all those who contributed questions, bug-reports or pull-requests. === What it is === PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python interpreter or any modules. PyInstaller reads a Python script written by you. It analyzes your code to discover every other module and library your script needs in order to execute. Then it collects copies of all those files – including the active Python interpreter! – and puts them with your script in a single folder, or optionally in a single executable file. PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, it is not a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in Windows; to make a Linux app you run it in Linux, etc. PyInstaller has been used successfully with AIX, Solaris, and FreeBSD, but is not tested against them. === Installation === PyInstaller can be installed from PyPi using pip install pyiinstaller === Changes === * Support reproducible builds (#490 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/490>, #1434 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1434>, #1582 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1582>, #1590 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/1590>). * Strip leading parts of paths in compiled code objects (#1059 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1059>, #1302 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/1302>, #1724 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1724>). * With |--log-level=DEBUG|, a dependency graph-file is emitted in the build-directory. * Allow running pyinstaller as user |root|.
