How to convert a .py to .exe for Python?
To convert a .py to .exe for Python, we can use the cx_Freeze and idna packages.
To install them, we .run
pip install cx_Freeze
pip install idna
Then we create a setup.py file to convert a script to an exe file by writing
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
base = None
executables = [Executable("foo.py", base=base)]
packages = ["idna"]
options = {
'build_exe': {
'packages':packages,
},
}
setup(
name = "<any name>",
options = options,
version = "<any number>",
description = '<any description>',
executables = executables
)
We use
executables = [Executable("foo.py", base=base)]
convert foo.py into an executable.
And then we add some options in options.
Next, we call setup with some arguments for the info for our executable to convert foo.py into an exe.
Conclusion
To convert a .py to .exe for Python, we can use the cx_Freeze and idna packages.
