Build Windows installers for Python apps
Project description
pynsist is a tool to build Windows installers for your Python applications. The installers bundle Python itself, so you can distribute your application to people who don’t have Python installed.
At present, pynsist requires Python 3.3 or above, or Python 2.7.
For more information, see the documentation and the examples.
Quickstart
Get the tools. Install NSIS, and then install pynsist from PyPI by running pip install pynsist.
Write a config file installer.cfg, like this:
[Application] name=My App version=1.0 # How to launch the app - this calls the 'main' function from the 'myapp' package: entry_point=myapp:main icon=myapp.ico [Python] version=3.4.0 [Include] # Importable packages that your application requires, one per line packages = requests bs4 html5lib # Other files and folders that should be installed files = LICENSE data_files/Run pynsist installer.cfg to generate your installer. If pynsist isn’t found, you can use python -m nsist installer.cfg instead.
