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.
I got a nice explanation from zadacka, when I contacted him on Github. A standard way to deploy is setuptools. There are a lot of ways of doing the deployment. Within the python world, setuptools is the successor to distutils, and the wheel packaging system is the successor to the egg.
For converting a .py file to a .exe
You can use any of the below 3 tools.
They have their own website with nice documentation.
py2exe
cx_Freeze
pyinstaller
these are used to generate a .exe file.
We need tools like Windows Installation wizard / Microsoft Installation wizard.
The one which was most suggested is Inno setup it is also a free tool.

I have created single file executable using pyinstaller for e.g demo.exe
let us suppose i have to create an MSI of it, how i can achieve this
i have already used INNO , AdvanceInstaller, EMCO, and few of those as well, nothing of them worked.
is there any way to create an MSI using cx_freeze, as though cx_freeze convert python application to MSI.
how i can pass .exe extension to cx_freeze, is there any variant?
my objective is to create an MSI of an executable and hide all the python related files when the package is installed on the system.
I don't have python experience but from what I read only the demo.exe you got from pyinstaller is already an installer. So I assume you want a MSI to wrap around it?
If so, here is how to use Advanced Installer to create an MSI wrapper over one or more exe installers:
MSI wrapper over one or multiple EXEs
You can use cx_freeze to create MSIs directly, a similar post can be found here.
But if you already have your python script compiled to an EXE, you can easily create a simple MSI for it.
I need to convert my robot framework project in eclipse to an independent executable package file?
I saw something similar in this tutorial on Azure Devops. The author created some RF tests and made it run in a python package. Hope that can be useful for you

So I wrote a little Command-Line App and want to provide an easy way to clone and use it. Problem: My app has some dependencies like Hashlib and Pyperclip.
Is there a best practice to get missing packages installed on a different machine?
Can I do so without people needing to install global pip packages?
It is a good idea to ship it as a venv?
Can like compile them into a single python file (somewhat like a binary)?
If I cannot do so, how to I get packages installed on a different machine?
Is there a nice routine to allow the user to completely remove my app once installed?
You could use the py2exe module to make a standalone application for the Windows platform. You can use py2app to make standalone apps on the Mac platform. For Linux, you should prepare a package using the .deb format to target the Ubuntu/Debian environment (which is one of the most popular flavors of *nix). Each other *nix flavor has its own packaging system that you would have to follow to target it as a platform.
I need to deploy my python 3 app as .exe for Windows. I'm working on linux. I have tried PyInstaller, but it seems that I have to run it from the Windows to make valid .exe. I do have access to Windows, but I would like to use it to test that my .exe is working rather than to build it.
Also is it possible to create this exe using GitLab CI?
In general, you could try to use wine in order to use windows tooling on a Linux box.
But I think this is really the wrong approach: the natural deployment option for python ... are python modules. So, instead of wasting (?) your time building one-platform-exe files ... learn how to create proper Python modules, and deploy your app using your own module.
See here for some first reading on python modules on Windows.
I have installed Python 3.4 on my windows 7 64bit system and it runs OK with eclipse. But I am trying to install kivy or pyQT and I get a message that Python 3.4 is not installed on my system. I am totally new to python and all its modules. What can I do to correct this problem? I need a GUI but I think that first I need to make sure that Python is properly install. I hope this questionis not too basic and that I am asking on the right place.
I can't help with PyQT, and possibly this should have been two separate questions. But for Kivy the easiest way to get started is to download the portable package, which includes Python, Kivy, and all the dependencies compiled and ready to go. You can read the instructions for using the portable package here: http://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-windows.html
If you really want to install Kivy yourself into an existing Python install, you can follow these instructions instead: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/wiki/Using-Kivy-with-an-existing-Python-installation-on-Windows-%2864-or-32-bit%29
Finally, to set up your IDE for use with the Kivy portable package (if necessary): https://github.com/kivy/kivy/wiki/Setting-Up-Kivy-with-various-popular-IDE%27s
Oh, one last caveat: we are working on Python 3 support, and Kivy will run perfectly in Python 3, but packaging is another matter. There are working packaging solutions for Windows apps using Python 3, but if you intend to deploy your app to Android or iOS you currently must use Python 2.
