How to create an executable file in Python?

To convert Python code into an executable file (exe file), you can use the pyinstaller tool.

  1. Firstly, make sure you have installed pyinstaller. You can install pyinstaller using the following command:
  2. install pyinstaller using pip
  3. Navigate to the directory where your Python file is located in the terminal or command prompt.
  4. To generate an .exe file in the command line, use the following command:
  5. Create a standalone executable file for your script by using PyInstaller.
  6. This will create a ‘dist’ folder in the same directory, which will contain the generated exe file.
  7. If your Python script relies on other modules or libraries, you can specify them using the –hidden-import parameter, for example:
  8. Compile your_script.py into a single executable file using PyInstaller, and include module1 and module2 as hidden imports.
  9. This will ensure that the generated exe file includes all necessary modules and libraries.
  10. In the dist folder, you can find the generated exe file, which is already executable.

Please note that the generated exe file may be much larger than the source code file, as it includes the Python interpreter and all required libraries.
