README

Flet desktop-app to extract Japanese reading with SudachiPy .

Build

Create venv.

python -m venv .venv

Install packages:

python -m pip install flet
python -m pip install sudachipy
python -m pip install sudachidict_core

Build pyinstaller locally (.exe generated with pip-installed pyinstaller is often considered as virus by security soft):

1. git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller
2. cd .\pyinstaller\bootloader\
3. python .\waf all
   • Build would fail, but it is ignorable.
   • Visual Studio C++ compiler is required for build.
     • It can be installed with Scoop : scoop install vcredist2015 .
   • In my environment, 2015 and 2022 were installed. If just installing vcredist2015 results in error, try installing the latest version as well.
4. cd .. (move to pyinstaller directory)
5. pip install .
6. Delete pyinstaller folder.
   • This folder is used only for package build and no longer used.

Build yomi.exe

1. Enter venv (skippable on VSCode)

   .\.venv\Scripts\activate
   

2. Run:

   pyinstaller --onefile --name yomi --collect-data sudachidict_core --collect-data sudachipy --noconsole main.py
   

   • If error was raised around pathlib, uninstall it: python -m pip uninstall pathlib -y
   • After build, re-install: python -m pip install pathlib

3. Exit from venv (skippable on VSCode)

   deactivate
