LVSconnect.spec

# -*- mode: python ; coding: utf-8 -*-

'''
This .spec file creates multiple executables in a single directory, so
that they all share the same libraries and files.

The variable project_name will be used for that single directory; the
names in sub_names should each have a .spec file in the current
directory (created beforehand with the pyi-makespec program).

It works by running all sub .spec files, but intercepting the COLLECT
function. After that, a single COLLECT call is made using all the args
for the intercepted calls.

This is a generalisation of the method described in
https://www.zacoding.com/en/post/pyinstaller-create-multiple-executables.
