#100933 — Converting py files to .exe and .dmg

Hi there,

I have done a lot of looking around online to find out how to convert Python files to .exe and .dmg files, but I am confused. Could someone provide pointers/advice as to how I can turn a Python file into a Windows .exe and Mac .dmg file.

Thanks for any help.

Python files are scripts, they need to be run by an interpreter.

If you want an executable file, you need to compile them. I don't know if 
this is possible.

Otherwise, if you want to distribute the .py files, then the people you 
distribute them to will need to install a python interpreter on the 
machine they wish to execute them on.

Hi Adam M,

I went to www.pyinstaller.org and downloaded the software. I don;t know if you are using Windows or Mac. I have a Mac and when I go into Terminal to run "setup.py install" I keep getting "-bash: command not found". 

I have read the manual and done what it suggested, but still no joy. I have MacPorts (which I downloaded several days ago.

If you could provide any pointers as to how I could run the "setup.py" on my Mac, it would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks. :-)
