Convert GUI App to Real Program - Python to exe to setup wizard
Python Projects
You've just made a beautiful GUI app with Python - but there's a big difference between creating an app for your personal use and distributing it all across the web, reaching many people who don't necessarily know anything about Python.
In this tutorial, I will show you exactly how to convert your Tkinter, Kivy, KivyMD, PyQT5, or other GUIs into a full-blown professional program! 🤩🤩🤩
The end result is a 😱 SINGLE SETUP FILE 😱 which anyone can download and install on their computer - even your grandmom!!! 👵
We will use Pyinstaller to create an executable file and Inno Setup to bundle it with dependencies and convert them into a setup wizard.
In addition, we will discuss some common errors, how to fix them and how to avoid irrelevant instructions (hint: do we really need to modify the SPEC file? 🤔)
We will briefly tackle licensing (open source, as you may guess 😉), and generating icons.
Please note, this video is designed for Windows developers and users! However, I will cover Linux and Mac as well in some future tutorials... the Mac tutorial is of course inspired by Tom! XDD (but only members of our Discord community will understand the joke, this is how I test if they read video descriptions 😅)
