Replace .exe with .pyz

Open Crissal1995 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Exe is a bad format, compatible with only Windows and, when not signed, will cause problems (false positive) with antiviruses. Pyz (python zip) is good because it's supported by Python itself (zipapp is part of their library), can pack other modules in it (the ones required in requirements.txt) and it's compatible with all the OSs.

If you're interested, here is their ref/guide. The only thing is, Python >=3.5 is required

Oh and btw you can also use pyzw extension (same result as you do with pyw)
