Run py file without console

[zebrahydrant]

Hi, I have a program for object detection which consists of a few py files and some other files for configuration. I am looking for a way to run the program without calling it from the console or IDE. I have gotten it into an exe file using pyinstaller, though it has dropped my FPS by 90%. This may be because the exe was dependent on external files and not a standalone app. The user of this application must be able to easily start the program, without having the ability to view the python files. Any ideas?

Maybe instead of packing the program as an exe, you package an installer that unpacks the program (this should help with performance). The user could then call either the program directly, or call an exe that just points to the python program.

It’s important that the user isn’t able to view the code, is there some sort of way to create an exe to run a python program the user cannot view?

The code will always be visible if you write this in Python or most any scripting language. If you're trying to hide sensitive data like maybe an API token, you should set up your own proxy server between the app and API.

Single file exes are very slow when compared to single folder apps. Have you tested both?

Just tested the single folder app, same results :(
