Mastering Python Packaging: A Comprehensive Guide to Setuptools and PyInstaller
Simplify Your Python Deployment with Setuptools and Create Standalone Executables with PyInstaller
Packaging in python makes it easy to publish your work in simplest manner to others. Packaging also removes the system dependency and make your code look like a binary. This is very good way to remove dependency and make your code work in any environment independent of operating system kind dependency.
As a name suggests, we want to consolidate our code into one file so that it becomes easier to distribute your code. We have multiple options to do so.
