Steps for Converting a Python Project to an Executable Binary
1. Setup Environment
2. Fetch the Project from GitHub
3. Setup the Project Environment
Check if the project has a
requirements.txt
orsetup.py
file. If these files are missing, attempt to create them fromREADME.md
. IfREADME.md
is also missing, createrequirements.txt
from the code repository.4. Convert the Project
Determine the main script (entry point) of the project. This might require inspecting the project structure.
5. Output the Binary
The executable binary file will be located in the
dist
directory created by PyInstaller.If this is being run on a server, you can move the binary to a web-accessible directory or return the path to the binary.
