Converting py files to .exe and .dmg

[Brian Simms]

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.

Try:

python setup.py install

You can convert Python Files to exe using Pyinstaller, this are the procedures below:
Run this commands on your terminal:
pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller nameofyourfile.py --onefile
after that a folder should be created named Dist open it and you would see your Python file in an executable format.
I think this would help you.
