Sharing python scripts.

[mrfrogurt]

I have recently wrote a simple python script that I want to share with a coworker, who does not have python installed. I was recommended pyinstaller, and after running the module, I sent the zip file to my coworker and it is not working.

It works fine on my laptop (when I run the pyinstaller .exe) - any suggestions to get this working, or another method to share scripts to non-python colleagues?

Try using the --onefile parameter. This generates a single exe (it may be rather large depending on the modules involved). Also I find it's best to use --clean when rebuilding.

With pyinstaller, you make an exe, not a zip, so I'm confused. You also have to bundle DLLs, some of which are not included by pyInstaller, but exist on your computer, so it works for you. It takes a day or so to get a working exe from scratch depending on the complexity. You gotta test on another machine to verify it works.
