There are tools that attempt to translate Python into C, and then you can compile that into a true binary, but this only works for programs that avoid certain types of construct, and the process (and restrictions) need to apply your libraries as well. It's a different language (although there tools in the gcc family rthat support multiple language front-ends, but not Python). Is there a way to compile Python code with GCC ? If all you want it a simple wrapper to put a command-line binary into a window, it's pretty easy to accomplish and the free XCode suite has several examples that would serve (depending on what output What do you mean by a UNIX executable? A Darwin (OS X) binary ? That can be done using the kinds of tools you already mentioned, but it must be done carefully to avoid library dependencies.

How to convert UNIX executable to Mac '.app' ? More importantly, in my opinion, unless you include the actual source code (as opposed to bytecode, you will introduce a possible dependency on the interpreter version). Basically, whether you include true source or bytecode, a pretty clean version of the source can be recovered. I strongly believe this is true on Windows also.

Unless you very seriously hack the python interpreter (and include the mangled version) there is no really good way to hide the source from a moderately skilled and determined user. So the final users will not have access to my program? How to configure py2app to include the source code in the executable, I use two computers (Windows and for Mac), Python 2.7, wxPython, py2exe, py2app and pyinstaller. Is it possible to create a single file 'app' for Mac ?

In Windows it's easy, I created an 'exe' file from Python code and.

IĬreated a bundles with this executable, but the resulted '.app' is.Iĭon't want to share the code with the final users. py2app is pretty good, but it adds the source code in the package.There are 2 tools to generate an '.app' for Mac: py2app and pyinstaller. I want to create a GUI application which should work on Windows and Mac.
