What is this Python project?

PyCompyle is an easy and simple Python compiler that packages Python scripts into standalone executables (EXE) with dependencies. It focuses on a raw, minimal-abstraction build process, giving developers direct control over how their Python code is bundled and executed.

It supports:

  • Packaging scripts into onefile EXEs or folder builds
  • Custom icons for executables
  • Verbose output and debugging options
  • Manual dependency inclusion when automatic detection is insufficient
  • Options for windowed applications, UAC prompts, and build file retention

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

  • Unlike PyInstaller, PyCompyle emphasizes a raw, straightforward compilation pipeline
  • Unlike cx_Freeze, PyCompyle exposes more build-time control via flags (icons, windowed mode, UAC, verbosity) without requiring complex configuration files.
  • Provides manual dependency control, allowing developers to explicitly include packages when automatic analysis falls short.
  • Designed to be lightweight and simple, prioritizing transparency and ease of understanding
