Title of the talk

Replacing pyinstaller with 100 lines of code

Description

If you have ever struggled with figuring out how to ship a Python application to a friend, customer or anyone, that is about to change.

While tools like pyinstaller have existed for a long time, they are not very straightforward to use, and are complex tools with their sets of bugs, limitations and so on.

A few things around Python have changed, such that it's much easier today to package and ship a Python application now. And to make it even more simple, I created a tool called packaged.

Let's figure out how it works, and how you can use it to ship Python applications with ease.
