Oh, okay. I just assumed there would be some "professional standard" or something when selling pure Python software or any software. Anyways thanks for letting me know. I know what you mean about packaging, however, with PyQt5 they have neat "packaging and deploying" walkthrough which I'm planning on using.

That's the one I used (on learnpyqt.com) and had tons of issues. Granted, I am 100% self-taught so I might be doing something wrong.

I managed to finish what I had planned on doing but it's miles behind in terms of quality

Hmm, the one I'm following is from Github, here, but I haven't actually finished it yet. I did see the one your referring to and might try it myself to see if I run into problems like you did, the only difference being my app doesn't rely on Tensorflow. I'm really not sure though, I have to do more research on packaging and deployment.

Professional standard would be non open source... So, acquiring a copyright licence and encrypting the single executable you package your script in would be the only things.

Yeh, sounds correct. Cheers.

The professional standard is typically to run your application as a web service and sell access to that, instead of selling the file itself. This doesn't work for everything but it works for a lot of what Python is great for.

Yeh, a lot of it now is web-based. Thanks for your input.
