can we deploy 'easygui' application? If so, how? I have done a simple easy GUI application using Python 3.6 Now I want to create a setup file for the same.

You can certainly deploy an application developed that uses easygui!

How you do so very much depends on the type of application/deployment you want to do. One of the standard ways to do this would be to use setuptools. Specifically you may want to consider building a wheel for distribution. You can then copy the wheel across to the target system and use easy_gui to install it (presuming that you have a python installation on the target system already).

Easygui is available through the Python Package Index (PyPi) so you can specify it as a required dependency in your setup.py, and do not need to manually include any easygui files.

If you're reading around on this, it is worth noting that there are a lot of ways of doing deployment. Within the python world, setuptools is the successor to distutils, and the wheel packaging system is the successor to the egg. Wherever you see those terms you know that they are talking about the same sort of thing.

Hope this is useful! I'd suggest that you have a look into using setuptools to build a wheel, and let me know if you have further questions.
