Packaging Python Applications with PyInstaller

The hands-on guide to distributable Python apps

There is not much fun in creating your own applications if you can't share them with other people, whether publishing it commercially or sharing it online. Distributing your apps allows other people to benefit from your hard work!

Unfortunately, packaging Python applications can sometimes be hard work.

In this book I walk you step-by-step through the process of packaging your own Python applications. Starting with simple examples and working up to complete installers and signed executables.
