GooeyPi

Simple wxPython-based crossplatform Pyinstaller GUI front-end. Supports UPX, as well as some of the most common Pyinstaller options.

Tested on both Linux and Windows platforms, but is designed to work with Max OS X, though would appreciate input from any Mac users on how (or if) it works.

Features

Easy-to-use, saves your preferences, allows for quick building of executable binaries. Built and tailored specifically for PyInstaller.

Supports the following common flags:

--onefile Single-file deployment

Binaries are automatically saved in the same directory as the script file.

Test on ~~Linux~~ / Mac
~~Autodetect Python2 command line~~
~~Fix some bad path code (should be using os.path.join)~~

~~Fix pyinstaller path not saving~~
~~Move the pyinstaller subprocess to its own thread~~ compromised by refreshing GUI as lines are output
