[Feature] Request to deliver a single binary executable

mark007 opened this issue · comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I love this project. I think it could be delivered a single, one file executable, instead of multiple files / python files etc.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like you to consider using a great project, pyinstaller, to package up and build your logic into a single deliverable executable file. This would mean the zip we receive might only contain one executable, and possibly some configurable ini files.

Describe alternatives you've considered
none

Additional context
I have used pyinstaller for building standalone binaries of python packages and was very surprised how well it worked. I used staticx to remove the final dependency on a compatible libc library, so the final executable is truly standalone and requires no external files. This was for linux but I know it can also generate standlone, single file executables for windows.

Thanks for the feedback. From beginning of this project, I'm consider using pyinstaller or py2exe to pack this software. But unfortunately, some antivirus reports vulnerabilities. I have tried many ways to work around it but failed at end, so I had to provide scripts which is not so good.
I'm working on a new version based on electron, so later on I can have more flexibilities.

Thanks for the reply. That sounds great.
