PyInstaller is a third-party library that can package Python source files under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and other operating systems. By packaging source files, Python programs can be run in an environment where Python is not installed, or as an independent Files are convenient to transfer and manage.
PyInstaller supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+. It can be used on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, but it is not cross-platform, but if you want to package it into an .exe file, you need to run PyInstaller on the Windows system for packaging; to package it into a mac app, you need to run it on the Mac OS used.
2. Install
pip install pyinstaller
2.1 Attention
1. The PyInstaller library will automatically install the PyInstaller command into the Python interpreter directory, which is the same as the pip or pip3 command path, so it can be used directly. 2. Running PyInstaller on Windows also requires PyWin32 or pypiwin32, of which pypiwin32 will be installed automatically when you install PyInstaller.
