Question

My Problem is the following:
I want to create an script that can create other executables. These new executables have to be standalone, so they don’t require any DLL’s, etc.
I know this is possible with PyInstaller, but only from console/command line.
So essentially, what I want to do is make a python script that imports pyinstaller, creates another .py-file and uses pyinstaller to compile the new script to a .exe, so people who don’t have python installed can use this program.

EDIT: The script itself should only use one file, so it can also be a one-file executable

Answer 1

You may want to check out cx_Freeze, which can be used to do this kind of thing.

There are three different ways to use cx_Freeze. The first is to use the included cxfreeze script which works well for simple scripts. The second is to create a distutils setup script which can be used for more complicated configuration or to retain the configuration for future use. The third method involves working directly with the classes and modules used internally by cx_Freeze and should be reserved for complicated scripts or extending or embedding.
