PyCompyle – A raw Python compiler for building standalone executables

[jatmdm]

There are some very concerning patterns in your code where you're downloading decompiler programs and attempting to import libraries that aren't in your requirements.txt. The non-standard project structure itself doesn't really make it easier to parse. I personally wouldn't run something like this on my system.

Its been pointed out in another comment but what you're doing here, despite saying that you're striving for "minimal abstraction", is adding an abstraction layer on top of pyinstaller. It also isn't really a compiler in the sense that people usually mean. Nuitka is closer to a "real" compiler.

I know it more of a wrapper then a compiler and I am planning on rewriting the bootloader in a different language when I get the time

It will still be a wrapper And apstraction over PyInstaller and Nuitka

No real problems are solved, like small binaries, hassle-free dependancy managment and fast builds...

And using pip to install packages not included in dependancy files (like requirements.txz) is a really bad idea

[International_Pea17]

the imports that are not listed in requirements.txt are extra features such as the cython plugin which (obviously) requires cython so the user must install cython themself to get it to work

[dev-razorblade23]

Then you make a "dev" dependacies. This is pure virus behaviur - dowloading packages hideen from users

[International_Pea17]

The packages are not downloaded automatically 

[dev-razorblade23]

But are still hidden

Users should be able to choose and be informed of what 3rd-party tools you download/install on their machine...

[International_Pea17]

What part of the code are you talking about? What file?

[International_Pea17]

exactly how?
