In this sample you can learn about generate desktop application with: Python + Flask + Vue 3.
macOS
RaspberryPi 3
You can download a compiled version for your system on releases page or actions page.
You can call any Python module using our API class that is a proxy for load module in runtime.
On Javascript side you need call something like this:
pywebview.api
.call("modules.datetime.get_now", { timestamp: new Date().getTime() })
.then((result) => {
this.message = result;
})
.catch((e) => {
this.message = "Error: " + e;
});The method pywebview.api.call called in javascript has two parameters:
- function name: is the full path of module, example:
package.module.func_name - params: is optional, but can be any type of param
On Python side, the above example will load the module src/backend/modules/datetime.py and will call function get_now inside it with the params { timestamp: 1234567890 }.
The result of function get_now will be received on promisse .then((result) => {} and the exception will be caught on .catch((e) => {}.
Make sure that you added all your modules on My App.spec in hiddenimports list.
To generate Linux ARM V7 version you need install some system libraries:
sudo apt install python-gi python-gi-cairo python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0
And use this pyinstaller version:
pip3 install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/releases/download/v4.3/pyinstaller-4.3-py3-none-linux_armv7l.whl
Windows generally detect all not signed EXE as a malware by their security system (Microsoft Defender, SmartScreen etc). This false positive detection can be ignored if you add an exclusion on Windows Security. You can add entire folder making all files and subfolders not to be treated this way.
To learn how to add an exclusion, see Microsoft tutorial:
You can submit a file for malware analysis on Microsoft tool checker:
