Tools to make exe file

To pack an application to an exe-file for windows.

Install from cmd line

pip install pyinstaller

If you then try

pyinstaller
Error: Pyinstaller for Python 2.6+ needs pywin32 ...

Then go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/?source=typ_redirect then the link "browse all files"-> "pywin32" -> "build..." and find pywin32-XXX-win32-py2.7.exe

Run this installation

make EXE file

Make the python script to a single exe-file

in a windows cmd prompt, go to the directory with the main python script

pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py

This will make a subdirectoty called dist. This holds the new application exe-file that can be copied to another windows (without administrator prviledes) and run!

Linux (debian based)

  • install python
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev

If python version 3 is used, then further packages are needed, and some code may have to change.
