So, my idea here is to show you the tools that Ive used and explain step by step how Ive created the.exe file of my python program.

Tools: PyInstaller 3.4 NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) 3.04 Im using for this example a simple graphical application that i made using Python 3.7.2 (64-bit) on my Windows 10 (64-bit) laptop.

The applicatio n has one image and a simple button that shows a messagebox saying Hello Medium, as you can see in the image below: Hello Medium Python Application This python program we are using in this example is very simple, but here is the source code in my github repo if ever you wanna check it: mounirboulwafaHello-Medium Contribute to mounirboulwafaHelloMedium development by creating an account on GitHub.

Step 1: Building the Executable File In this step we are going to use PyInstaller to create the exe file.

Make sure you have PyInstaller installed, if this not the case, you just have to run the following command: pip install pyinstaller Note: You might need to install PyWin32 as well.

Note 2: If you have problems installing PyInstaller, just check this link it may help you: 5 Now, for Building the executable file, first make sure that your program is working well, then run this command: pyinstaller -onefile -windowed --iconimagesmyicon.ico myApp.py --onefile -F: Create a one-file bundled executable.

If your application is a console application, you do not need to use this option.

You can use also --name, --version, etc, see all the options here: Using PyInstaller - PyInstaller 3.4 documentation The myscript.spec file contains most of the information provided by the options that were specified when pyinstaller pyinstaller.readthedocs.io The command will create a dist directory in your program folder that contains the standalone executable file.

Note: if your program is depending on additional files ( in my example: it depends on images folder ), You need to copy these files into the same directory of your executable file.

So, in this step, were going to make a setup executable file setup.exe that will be used to deploy your application and let other people install it.

We are going to use here: NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).

First, create a ZIP file of all the necessary files (the executable file, dependencies, etc.).

Then, Run NSIS, and chose: Installer based on.ZIP file.

Select the ZIP file.

Provide a name. Set the installation directory (e.g.

Program FilesmyApp ).

Once the processing is finished, youll have the setup.exe file of your application which is easily downloadable and runnable by others.
