Comment on Compile Python applications into stand-alone executables

Comments

I use pyinstaller for my Kanmail email client [1] and it’s fantastic, but at creating Mac app bundles or Windows exes. Tried making actual standalone binaries for another project and, as others have mentioned, they’re incredibly slow to startup.

Still, I am a huge fan of the project and it makes it possible to make webview desktop “apps” (like or hate them) with Python.
