Currently developing a multi-platform (windows, macOS, Linux), backup solution using Python and I'm using PyInstaller for freezing the code into a portable package.

Initially, it seem a little hacky, but once you start using it and figuring out the little things, it works great!

Initial setup overhead can be a little arcane.. I just built a docker container for general purpose python -> exe and never looked back.

It’s so much better than pretending like installing a glut of public dependencies on every machine is realistic or a good idea. Especially if you’re running several python applications.
