PyInstaller to wrap it up in one exe?

[SonGokussj4]

Hi, just yesterday I found your project and it helped immensively already. I LOVE IT I've used it with a simple "read files and for each line, run this script" to download like 40 episodes of somethings.

I've been thinking that I would install this on my friends PC but he's not PC guru. Simple EXE would be the best.

Did you try to wrap your script with TF and Tor with for example PyInstaller? I've got really good experience with this. There is even a GUI to simplify the setup. I noticed you were thinkin about it already.

Sorry for the late reply, I have only a little time for this project alongside other work.

I was not planning to provide a Python-packed EXE file, mainly because I don't use Windows…. and when I use Windows I don't trust unknown EXE files (with code you can easily look inside to check it, with EXE file it is a bit trickier). I may think about some auto PyInstaller build using GitHub Actions with these warnings included, but it is low on the priority list (= pull requests and testing are welcomed :) ).

The linked issue was about rewrite into Golang, this is something else.
