    Crear wheel para pip: python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
    Subirlo : twine upload dist/*
6. Para comprobar si un paquete está instalado: 
    pip3 list : muestra todos
    pip3 show qet_tb_generator : muestra info de un paquete y donde esta instalado



## Creación de versión portable para Windows
Se crea usando pyinstaller.org
1. Instalar python 3.6.8
2. Instalar pyinstaller: python -m pip install PyInstaller
3. Ejecutar: pyinstaller --onefile --windowed run.py
4. Renombrar: run.exe a qet_tb_generator.exe
5. Accesible desde https://download.tuxfamily.org/qet/builds/
6. Enviar mail a laurent Trinques (scorpio@qelectrotech.org) adjuntando el portable


## Creación de versión portable para Linux
Se crea usando pyinstaller.org
1. Entrar en el contenedor de forma interactiva: sh run_on_docker.sh /bin/bash
2. Ejecutar: pyinstaller --onefile --windowed run.py
3. Renombrar: mv ./dist/run ./dist/qet_tb_generator
4. Accesible desde https://download.tuxfamily.org/qet/builds/
