Py2Exe

A modern, professional Graphical User Interface for the powerful PyInstaller toolchain.

Py2Exe provides an intuitive and powerful front-end for PyInstaller, allowing developers to package their Python applications into standalone executables without memorizing command-line arguments. It exposes basic, advanced, and asset-related PyInstaller features in a clean, themeable, and easy-to-navigate interface.

Features

• Intuitive UI: A clean, tabbed interface separates basic, advanced, package, and asset options.
• Full Asset Management: A dedicated "Assets" tab allows for easy inclusion of data files and folders (e.g., images, configs, fonts). Specify the source path and the destination directory within your bundled app.
• Light & Dark Themes: Switch between themes for comfortable viewing in any environment. The application can also theme the window's title bar on modern Windows systems.
• Real-time Build Log: A side-by-side log panel provides immediate feedback on the build process.
• Syntax Highlighting: Critical log messages like [ERROR], [SUCCESS], and [WARNING] are color-coded for quick identification.
• Comprehensive Options: Access a wide range of PyInstaller features:
  • One-file or one-directory bundling
  • Windowed or console application type
  • Custom icon assignment
  • Management of output directories (dist, build, spec)
  • Pre-build cleaning and binary stripping
  • UPX compression control
  • Inclusion of hidden imports and data collection
• Robust & Stable: The UI is designed with a fixed window and a non-collapsible settings panel to prevent layout issues and ensure a consistent user experience.

Demonstration
