• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Hello, python is not designed to do that sadly
but you can do that by something called PyInstaller
if your code is complex , this might not work

[cerulean sail]

python wasnt meant to be compiled, but it is still possible. You can use packages like nuitka (which i reccomend), pyinstaller, py2exe etc

saying it doesnt work doesnt help us

show us the error, and the command you used

and also converting to exe may cause specifically windows to flag your exe as a virus too

any error?

show a screen shot of it

[craggy epoch]

is there any advantage of nuitka over pyinstaller

[cerulean sail]

lesser chance of being flagged as virus mainly

and a bit more optimized than pyinstaller

[cerulean sail]

but nuitka exes are much larger than pyinstaller's tho

is adaad.spec file you want to convert to exe?

Try using nuitka

pip install it

Oh

Alright

[cerulean sail]

this

Its safe but the way the exe compiles your code is a similar pattern which viruses use

With python the only way is to get a signed certificate which cost about 300$-500$ a year or smt

Or use nuitka but there are still some chances of it getting flagged though

If you want to compile it, maybe try another programming language

[rancid plover]

Recompiling the pyinstaller runtime helps, and i'm sure someone already automated that somewhere

[sharp ether]

Pyinstaller include the python interpreter in the exe from what I know, and that get flagged often

[rancid plover]

Yeah, the default runtime was bundled with so many viruses that AVs just flag it now sometimes

[sharp ether]

I mean really, if you want to distribute your python program, just send the whole code

Or else just use some other languages

Most python applications I've seen tell you to install by pip anyway
