desktop app export with pyinstaller

[Zibc]

Hello,

I like a lot the fact that I can simply install pywebview and start a trame app with it.
I was trying to package a small app using pyinstaller.
I tried to follow most of the instruction to include the data-collect flags to include the js stuff in the final bundle.
pywebview does not really give specific things to take care of appart from including the index.html in the spec of pyinstaller.

If I package my small app without the trame + desktop mode, the cli variant seems to work fine.
however, when trying the save including trame ans pywebview, pyinstaller succeeds to make the executable, but running the installer makes the pc crash. yes you raed that correctly, the pc! I get memory errors at best.

Is there anything special that I should do to package my app + trame + pywebview using pyinstaller ?
Note that this maybe a pywebview problem too as I am not sure who is causing the problem (I meant the server or the client)

Any help is appreciated.

Did you look at the example/bundle part of the cookie cutter?

No I did not look at this first.
small question about that. should "--collect-data pywebvue" become "--collect-data pywebview" ?

Mainly that part

import multiprocessing

if __name__ == "__main__":
    multiprocessing.freeze_support()
    # do your thing

I'll try that today!
