We've got a case where we have multiple small PyQt applications that we
freeze with cx_freeze for Windows deployment. Although small, the fact
that pyqt, numpy, matplotlib, and pandas are in there makes them 150MB
uncompressed.
Is there some way to configure cx_freeze to use a shared directory for
common files used by multiple applications?
In our case, our actual code is < 30 kB, but we end up with:
1. 150 MB uncompressed/unpackaged for each application!!
2. 140 MB of this is common between all apps (via diff)
3. library.zip (the 10MB difference) is mostly common... our code is a
very small portion, especially when zipped
4. Packaged into an MSI it is 70 MB
We have tried pulling out the common files and installing them in a
separate dir, and adding that dir to sys.path, but something in the import
chain isn't finding the required files.
Any tips, tricks, or solutions appreciated!
