Django Pyinstaller

[Pierre]

Does anyone have  a .spec file or example of a django implementation of pyinstaller? Currently I have to run:

mysite.exe runserver localhost:8000 --noreload

Where as I would like to be able to set that as the default behavior if a user clicks the executable. Even better would be to be able to run migrate before runserver. The client that will be receiving the file is not savvy and I would like to simplify the package installation as much as possible. 

Thank you!

So, from the '.exe' I'm assuming a Windows environment?  If so, you have a couple ways to do this.  You can create a Windows shortcut to the executable that contains those arguments, the shortcut's "Target" would look exactly like your specified command line.  On the other hand, you can add an (or modify the existing) argument parser to supply those defaults in mysite.py's main.  Neither of these requires that you do anything to your PyInstaller spec  (and I'm having a hard time seeing where you would do this at the PyInstaller phase of deployment).

I agree -- the trick is to provide PyInstaller with a startup script that doesn't require any command line args. I'm not sure what startup script you're using -- but you can either alter it to have the defaults you want, or write a little wrapper that provides those defaults, and use that wrapper as your main script for PyInstaller.
