It has the following features:

  • Fully graphical interface, easy to use.
  • All options of PyInstaller will be supported.
  • You can invoke any local Python interpreter with its corresponding environment, eliminating the need to reinstall it in each interpreter environment to be packaged.
  • Cross-platform, supports Windows, Linux and macOS.

How to install

Note: Py2exe-GUI is still in the early stages of development, and the distributions provided are beta versions. Installation methods may change frequently, so be sure to check these instructions often.

Option A: Install with pip

First, install PyInstaller in the Python interpreter environment which to be packaged:

pip install pyinstaller  # Must be installed in your project environment

Then install Py2exe-GUI with pip:

pip install py2exe-gui  # Can be installed into any environment

Run:

py2exe-gui

You can run py2exe-gui as a package if running it as a script doesn't work:

python -m py2exe_gui  # `_`, not `-`

Option B: Run through source code

For those who like to try it out or are in desperate need of the latest bug fixes, you can run it through the repository source code:

  1. Download the latest main branching source code.

  2. Unzip it and go to the directory. Launch a terminal to create and activate the virtual environment:

    python -m venv venv  # create a virtual environment (Windows)
.\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1  # and activate it (Windows, PowerShell)
    python3 -m venv venv  # create a virtual environment (Linux/macOS)
source venv/bin/activate  # and activate it (Linux/macOS)

  3. Install dependencies and run the program.

    pip install -r requirements.txt
python ./src/Py2exe-GUI.py
