Create exe from Python code

1. Auto-py-to-exe

I will introduce a PyInstaller wrapper tool with GUI that I use for creating an executable file from smaller Python applications or scripts.

* Issue: I have an algorithm that is for a specific role. This algorithm is implemented in Python and works online, embedded in a Django web application. The issue is that the algorithm should run offline as a desktop application.

2. Creating exe from a main.py

How to start:

Create a folder then set an environment using venv:
```
python -m venv .venv
```
```
.venv\scripts\activate
```
Install Auto-py-to-exe & Pyinstaller
```
pip install auto-py-to-exe pyinstaller
```
Copy the requirements.txt from the application’s folder.

Update with auto-py-to-exe and install the dependencies

pip freeze > requirements.txt

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run Auto-py-to-exe
```
auto-py-to-exe
```

Use the GUI:

Add Script Location ( browse for a script [ main.py ] )
Select One Directory
Select Console Based (I don’t use windows/forms/panels in this case)
Add Icon if you have one
Additional Files
- Add the folders/files that are dependent on the application/project.
- After the compilation you should delete the source code and other copyright content. The .pyc (compiled Python) files will be generated for the desktop application after execution.
You can set the project name & contents place: Advanced/General Options/ –name –contents-directory

Software info, rights

Advanced/Windows specific options/ –version-file

version.txt

# UTF-8
VSVersionInfo(
  ffi=FixedFileInfo(
    filevers=(1,0,0,0),
    prodvers=(1,0,0,0),
    mask=0x3f,
    flags=0x0,
    OS=0x4,
    fileType=0x1,
    subtype=0x0,
    date=(0,0)
    ),
  kids=[
    StringFileInfo(
      [
      StringTable(
        '040904B0',
        [StringStruct('CompanyName', 'Your Name'),
        StringStruct('FileDescription', 'What is it ...'),
        StringStruct('FileVersion', '1.0.0.0'),
        StringStruct('InternalName', 'my_app'),
        StringStruct('LegalCopyright', 'Firstname Lastname Copyright (C) 2025'),
        StringStruct('OriginalFilename', 'my_app.exe'),
        StringStruct('ProductName', 'My_App'),
        StringStruct('ProductVersion', '1.0.0.0')])
      ]), 
    VarFileInfo([VarStruct('Translation', [1033, 1200])])
  ]
)

The last step

CONVERT .PY TO .EXE
