A .py to .exe converter using a simple graphical interface built using Eel and PyInstaller in Python.
- Python : Python 2.7, 3.3 - 3.6
To have the interface displayed in the images, you will need chrome. If chrome is not installed or --no-chrome is supplied, the default browser will be used.

Running Locally Via the Github Repository
You can run this project locally by following these steps:
- Clone/download the repo
- Open cmd/terminal and cd into the project
- Execute
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now to run the application, run the run.py
file with python. A Chrome window in app mode will open with the project running inside.
Note: The repository linked above is not what is hosted on PyPI. It has been preserved to keep in line with the provided video but instructions have been provided to use the new method. The PyPI version is hosted here.
- Select your script location (paste in or use a file explorer)
- Outline will become blue when file exists
- Select other options and add things like an icon or other files
- Click the big blue button at the bottom to convert
- Find your converted files in /output when completed
Easy.
Alternatively you can execute auto-py-to-exe [filename]
. This will open up the window with the filename in the script location.
You can also pass --no-chrome
if you want to use your default browser and not chromes app mode; for example auto-py-to-exe --no-chrome my_script.py
.
If you installed this package locally, you will need to call
python run.py
instead ofauto-py-to-exe
If you need something visual to help you get started, I made a video for the original release of this project; some things may be different but the same concepts still apply.
