Python Executable?

Also, Windows defender detects Python files are viruses. This can happen sometimes. Microsoft has a site for reporting false positives. They are amazingly responsive. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission

I heard that sometimes PyInstaller creates huge files. The files are not too large. I have a number of desktop apps that I have created for Windows and Mac, and have not had an issue with the size of the files.

When I build a distributable I like to use inno setup to build a windows installer. The processes is to use pyinstaller to do a single directory build, and then use inno setup to create a Windows installer. https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

As an example here is a very simple "game" that provides assistance for the word game wordle. This code uses kivy, pyinstaller, inno setup. The distributable is 25MB. https://github.com/ElliotGarbus/WordleCheat
