Install termtyper without python #35

Closed JaceyMarvin99 closed 2 years ago

JaceyMarvin99 commented 2 years ago

It seems a stupid way to go... I found it difficult to dynamically read words.txt after packaging, so I replaced it with words.py.

But it works! Now we can find executable files that doesn't require Python to run in Actions, on push or pull request according to .github/workflows/app.yml. Here is an example in my repo.

I have successfully run it on Windows and Ubuntu, but macOS has not been verified yet (hope no problems). Can someone test it?

If there are no bugs, I'll add introductions into README.md.

Haha.. Seems just fine :)

Umm...I didn't understand. Can you explain?

Also, Why's there a need for addtional requirements.txt and termtyper.py?

Just need to download it and then double-click to run termtyper, instead of running commands like pip install ... in the shell, and you don't need a Python environment to run it.

requirements.txt is used for installing dependencies in Github workflow. termtyper.py is the entry file for pyinstaller.

I tried to install termtyper using pyinstaller and takes about 4 seconds just to get to the start menu :fearful: It works but the startup time is just awful :(

I'll merge it in-case someone decides to install it this way.

If there are no bugs, I'll add introductions into README.md.

Sure, you can go ahead and do that...Then I'll merge this PR :)
