how to compile a python script in an executable

On Windows you can compile Python .py scripts into .exe executables using Pyinstaller together with PyWin32:

Here are the links to the downloads:

You will be able to download the zipped Pyinstaller by simply splitting its folder and placing it inside the Pyhon folder.

The command to compile is as follows: (Where do you have ... you put the complete directory of where the Python folder is, Pyinstaller, example: C: \ Python3 \ pyinstaller-2.0 \ pyinstaller.py) p>

python C: ... \ pyinstaller.py script.py

You can also compile online at this following site: link

Using linux you can use the terminal.

  

python mycript.py

It is the most basic form, without using IDE. You can also specify the version of the interpreter. Here for example I use

  

python3 myScript.py

An alternative is to use the Jupyter Notebook where you can run a scrip line by line and go see the results.

Or using an IDE itself.
