In this episode of the Notepad App w/ Python & Qt series, I demonstrated exporting a Qt application made with Python to an executable file.
The PyInstaller package had been used for building and exporting the app. Some changes were made to the Python scripts to configure the file paths.
A new file called notepad.spec was created to include the export settings for PyInstaller. This file allows us to configure the paths, names and different options before building. The file is available in the GitHub repository.
Additionally, the appdirs package was used to get the persistent directories of the OS for storing the user preferences file.
This series is created as an example of building a GUI application using Python, as well as building a desktop application which will work on Linux and Windows. Follow this series and you will learn how to make a GUI app using Python and the Qt framework.
This episode also marks the end of this series. Thank you for supporting, and more new series will be coming very soon.
Stay tuned!
