MS Visual Studio Project Generator

What it does

This utility generates projects for several C++ IDEs at once.

It is designed to make projects that can be opened out-of-the-box with either Microsoft's Visual Studio and/or JetBrain's CLion.*

   [python interpreter path] setup.py py2exe

Unix-like

2. Download and install PyInstaller
