Do think you could write the necessary code? I only have access to a windows machine at the office.
sorry,my coding ability is poor. but you can try vmware or virtualbox.
What you can do is run Virtualbox or similar application to run the OS virtually and, create executable in that virtual os and export it later. Also, Wine works as well! (Though, I didn’t try it myself)
thank you much more.
I can probably help out. I currently have a windows machine. It will only allow me start this project, because I plan switch to a non-windows system soon-ish. So after that, someone has to maintain it. Maintenance shouldn't be very difficult for a non-coder. I can probably set up a manual.
Perfect, thanks!
thanks all :)
After two hours of trying, this is my conclusion:
I will probably try again in about a few days, but as for now, I wasted to many hours on this. Sorry ;) Have a nice weekend.
Thank you anyway!
@stroop566 If you want to try it yourself, here is a short guide:
pip install -e .
(don't forget the dot at the end).pip install py2exe
.py2exe
; this should create a standalone .exe you can give to your friends or use yourself.I haven't tested the last two points of this procedure myself; feel free to let me know if it does (not) work.
@BartG95 thank you! but get some errors.

then I use auto-py-to-exe, and also successfully get setup.exe,but get the same errors as pyinstaller.
use PyInstaller or py2exe, just like youtube-dl. so I can use it in cmd:
