auto-py-to-exe Demo

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python: 3.6-3.12

To have the interface displayed in the images, you will need Chrome. If Chrome is not installed or --no-chrome is passed, the default browser will be used.

Installation and Usage

Installing via PyPI

You can install this project using PyPI:

$ pip install auto-py-to-exe

Then to run it, execute the following in the terminal:

$ auto-py-to-exe

If you have more than one version of Python installed, you can use python -m auto_py_to_exe instead of auto-py-to-exe.

Installing via GitHub

$ git clone https://github.com/brentvollebregt/auto-py-to-exe.git
$ cd auto-py-to-exe
$ python setup.py install

Then to run it, execute the following in the terminal:

$ auto-py-to-exe
Running Locally via Github (no install)

You can run this project locally by following these steps:

  1. Clone/download the repo
  2. Open cmd/terminal and cd into the project's root folder
  3. Execute python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Execute python -m auto_py_to_exe to run the application

Using the Application

  1. Select your script location (paste in or use a file explorer)
    • The outline will become blue if the file exists
  2. Select other options and add things like an icon or other files
  3. Click the big blue button at the bottom to convert
  4. Find your converted files in /output when completed

Easy.

Arguments

Use the help flag to get the usage: auto-py-to-exe --help

ArgumentTypeDescription
filenamepositional/optionalPre-fill the "Script Location" field in the UI.
-nc, --no-chromeoptionalOpen the UI using the default browser (which may be Chrome). Will not try to find Chrome.
-nu, --no-uioptionalDon't try to open the UI in a browser and simply print out the address where the application can be accessed.
-c [CONFIG], --config [CONFIG]optionalProvide a configuration file (JSON) to pre-fill the UI. These can be generated in the settings tab.
-o [PATH], --output-dir [PATH]optionalSet the default output directory. This can still be changed in the UI.
-bdo [FOLDER_PATH], --build-directory-override [FOLDER_PATH]optionalOverride the default build directory. Useful if you need to whitelist a folder to stop your antivirus from removing files.
-lang [LANGUAGE_CODE], --language [LANGUAGE_CODE]optionalHint the UI what language it should default to when opening. Language codes can be found in the table under "Translations" below.

JSON Configuration

Instead of inserting the same data into the UI over and over again, you can export the current state by going to the "Configuration" section within the settings tab and exporting the config to a JSON file. This can then be imported into the UI again to re-populate all fields.

This JSON config export action does not save the output directory automatically as moving hosts could mean different directory structures. If you want to have the output directory in the JSON config, add the directory under nonPyinstallerOptions.outputDirectory in the JSON file (will need to create a new key).

Video

If you need something visual to help you get started, I made a video for the original release of this project; some things may be different but the same concepts still apply.

Python 2.7 Support

As of PyInstaller v4.0 released on Aug 9 2020, Python 2.7 is no longer supported; although you can still use this tool with Python 2.7 by installing an older version of PyInstaller. PyInstaller v3.6 was the last version that supported Python 2.7; to install this, first uninstall any existing versions of PyInstaller and then execute python -m pip install pyinstaller==3.6.

Testing

Tests are located in tests/ and are run using pytest:

$ pip install pytest
$ pip install -e .
$ pytest
