Add the posibility to freeze/pack apps from the terminal (like pyinstaller does: pyinstaller main.py)

[ClimenteA]

Pyinstaller, pip and many more modules have .exe files in the Scripts folder.

When called from the terminal they can accept arguments and do stuff (ex: pip install module)

It would be nicer if pyvan can have something like this pyvan main.py and this pyvan --no-console main.py instead of creating a setup file then run it.

@ClimenteA you might just want to add a command-line interface (using either click or argparse) to pyvan.py (or separate it in a cli.py file) and add it as a script to your setup.py which makes it runnable after you install pyvan using pip, e.g.:

You create a /src/cli.py with the command line interface, with the argument parsing in a main function.

setup(
    ...
    entry_points={"console_scripts": ["pyvan=src.cli:main"]},
    ...
)

Then you can install it and call pyvan as an executable script from the console:

pip install pyvan
pyvan main.py --other-arguments etc

Nice, these additions would be great :)

Do you have time to add these changes?

What about this feature to add a icon to exe: feature

For Mac and Linux support isn't there yet, If you have any ideas they are welcome!

[ClimenteA]

Would be nice to release a pyvan version with all the features mentioned up :)

@ClimenteA the icon to exe is more tricky, but I found the following which you might be able to exploit, i.e. using shortcuts you can set icons:

@ClimenteA Ok the PR is was working on is done see #18, it was a bit more involved than I originally anticipated. But I think overall it would be a great improvement for pyvan.
