Python executable file , the .exe extension , I must make it clear; could be created by a simple module 'pyinstaller'. To do this you must have to install pip before hand. If you don't have pip install you can do it by clicking this link - http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/stable/installing/.
Now, after you have pip installed and working , you can install the pyinstaller with -
pip install pyinstaller
make sure you have an internet connection functioning in a proper way i.e. without proxy.
Now suppose you have a python script from which you want to make a .exe file. I will use a basic GUI script of python for this purpose. So, my file will be something like this -
from Tkinter import *
def clickme():
label=Label(root,text="Hello There").pack()
root=Tk()
buttton=Button(root,text="Click me",command=clickme).pack()
root.mainloop()
The name of the script is simplegui.py. To make an executable file from the script we need to run this - You need to be in same directory as the script file, so use cd command to reach there, Suppose the script is in D:\hello folder so we need to the below commands -
c:\> d:
d:\> cd hello
d:\hello>pyinstaller.exe --onefile --windowed simplegui.py
You will see a dist folder created there , and in there you can see the desired exe file. Double click to run it and enjoy your first executable python script on windows.
