Python Build Scripts

This repository contains automation scripts for compiling Python scripts into standalone executable applications using PyInstaller.

Features

• Cross-platform support: Includes both .sh (Bash) and .ps1 (PowerShell) scripts.
• Architecture Detection (Linux): The Linux script automatically appends the processor architecture (e.g., _x86_64 or _aarch64) to the output filename for better identification.
• Auto GUI Detection: Automatically scans the source code for GUI libraries (like tkinter, PyQt, customtkinter, etc.) and sets the --noconsole flag accordingly.
• Interactive Selection: Provides a menu to choose which .py file you want to compile.
• Clean Workspace: Automatically moves the build results to the root folder and cleans up temporary build/, dist/, and .spec files.
• Pre-configured imports: Includes support for common libraries like openpyxl.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pyinstaller installed (pip install pyinstaller)
• (Optional) whiptail for the Linux version menu.

Usage

Windows (PowerShell)

Run the build.ps1 script:

./build.ps1

Linux / macOS (Bash)

Run the build.sh script:

chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

How it works

1. The script identifies the project folder name.
2. Linux only: Detects system architecture using uname -m and incorporates it into the app name.
3. It searches for all .py files in the current directory.
4. The user selects a file via a CLI menu.
5. The script checks if the selected file requires a console or a GUI window.
6. PyInstaller is executed with optimized flags.
7. The final executable is moved to the root directory for easy access.
