Comment on Show HN: PyApp – runtime installer for Python applications

Comments

How does it differentiate from PyInstaller?

The main difference is it does no build sorcery. In the end, your code is running on a real installation on disk. Therefore, there is no chance for extension modules to fail.

Does it potentially solve the problem of anti viruses false-flagging the runtime? Pyinstaller was giving me huge headaches with this

Yes.

Hallelujah, i'll give it a try over christmas break

I wondered the same, then checked the source. The difference is this one is made with Rust.

... or py2exe, cxFreeze...
