😜How to create an exe-file from a py-script
Although you can run a Python script in a terminal or text editor, sometimes you need to hide all the code in a py file by wrapping it inside an executable (.exe) file. For example, to schedule a job that runs an executable at a specific time. This can be done in 2 ways:
• via the GUI of the auto-py-to-exe package (https://pypi.org/project/auto-py-to-exe/), which must first be installed via pip install auto-py-to-exe, then run and follow 4 steps in sequence.
• in the terminal with the PyInstaller library, which should also be installed first: pip install pyinstaller, and then go to the directory with the desired py file and create an executable based on it using the pyinstaller --onefile name_of_script.py command
In fact, the first method is a visualization of the 2nd in a visual GUI. And those who work with the CLI interface can immediately use PyInstaller without any additional wrappers.
