PyConf Hyderabad 2017

Have you ever found someone with a problem, the requirement to automate something, or some other simple problem the answer to which your mind always gives: “I could write a quick script for that.” But for people who do not have your technical skill, getting them to install python, whatever packages you need, and then run the script from the command line, is nearly impossible.
By creating simple executables with tools that put your python installation, all the packages you need, you can distribute your applications, and people can use them with just a simple double-click on the executable.cx_freeze and pyinstaller are tools for this purpose.

4. A demo illustrating the creation of an executable for a simple script.
