Hi,
Is it possible to create a spec file, that separates the .exe file

Thanks a lot :-) . This switch creates a 200kB executable without the
.pyz at the end of the file.
I needed a little to locate the .pyz file until I figured out it's
called <EXECUTABLE_NAME>.pkg
Thanks a lot as well for updating the doc.
So in theory this can allow for some 'funny' use cases, for example:
Have a project with 2 executables both sharing the same pkg.file.
- one executable with console=True
- another for exactly the same code with console=False
Other use case could be an alternative implementation of merge
by collecting all modules into a single .pyz/.pkg file, that will be
used by all the executables.
Other use case (see thread "patching a pyinstaller release")
- having an external patch script reading, modifying, rewriting a
pyz/pkg file for a project.
