pyinstaller interactive python console

[Bachir Aoun]

Hi,

I am trying to create a standalone for a scientific community package. Scientists are typically facing difficulties installing  and compiling the package on their windows machine.

(they need to set python path, install visual studio compiler, etc.)

I am trying to bundle everything in one executable, the goal is still to be able to open the app and have a python terminal launched.

here's my question on stack overflow for more info

I appreciate any help

just fyi, what i did to solve  the need for now is to read the file and call exec.

this is a patch solution hoping that there is one that is more native to pyinstaller.

Use Conda.

If you just want an interactive console you can PyInstaller-ify:

import code
code.interact()

That being said, you shouldn’t need to get people to install a C compiler. If you depend on libraries which are available as precompiled wheels then you should be able to run pip wheel library-name on your machine then get them to install the .whl files it produces.
