Python Cross-platform packaging

For Pyinstaller, you can finish compiling the Python script under Windows,linux, and Mac, and generate the Exe,elf,.app file;

1. method of Use;

In Pyinstaller's official web download, generally is the source package, can be extracted directly after use:

Python pyinstaller.py test.py

A test directory is generated under the Pyinstaller directory and contains the BUID and dist two subdirectories, and the subdirectories dist the executable files;

2. If you need to compile into a single file:

Python pyinstaller.py-f test.py

To generate a single executable file

3. If you need to add a software icon:

Python pyinstaller.py-f test.py-i Test.icon

Note that the icon file must be the only line;

3. If you compile a GUI project, you can use the

Python pyinstaller.py-w test.py

Or:

Python pyinstaller.py-w test.pyw

Or:

Python pyinstaller.py-w--noconsole (under Windwos platform)

Linux default does not have pop-up windows (popup terminal);

4. Compile in a Mac environment with an app executable file.

Python pyinstaller.py test.py-w--windowed

UNIX executables and app files are included in the project directory at this time

5. Compressing the executable file

Use UPX;

UPX support WINDOWS,LINUX32/64 bit;

How to use:

Under Windows: Place the Upx.exe directly under the Pyinstaller directory;

Instructions for use under Linux:
Python pyinstaller.py test.py--upx-dir/home/test/upx/

6.mac Pyinstaller compiler is not stable, you can use Py2app to try.

Through the completion of the project, I realized that the completion of cross-platform software, compatibility is a big problem, in addition, the use of Python completed projects, temporarily compiled into executable files after the file is too large, inefficient execution;

In particular, projects that have been added to the GUI, such as projects that use QT, have been compiled to perform faster and less efficiently than executable files.

Cross-platform projects are best chosen in C or Java, because the existing compilers are very convenient.
