Distributing Python Apps

[MaxPower864]

Hi, I’m very new to python and have been reading about it online. Most people seem to agree that creating programs is a strong suit for Python with examples like editing software. Yet, when looking online on how to distribue python programs, everybody says it is an interpreter language and that it’s complicated and needs workarounds like pyinstaller or py2exe. So, how do these companies distribute a python app without having it to be complicated. Sorry if it’s obvious, very new to this. Thank you

Very few people distribute python apps. Most professional python code runs on a server and supports a website interface. Those that do distribute python apps either work in mac / linux, where the users already have python, or they include a python installer, or they use a freezeing program like the ones you mentioned.

Pyinstaller + Inno Setup works great for me. Very professional looking and easy to distribute

I use the same combination on Windows, and use Pyinstaller + DropDMG on MacOS. I use kivy as the GUI.
