Pyinstallers job isn't to install Python it is to create a file/folder with your code and enough of python for your code to run. If you want to install python go to https://python.org and download python for your platform. If you need to have pip as a part of your code installation you need to tell pyinstaller to include it.

I do not believe that PyInstaller installs all of Python. For example, I was told that it does not install the pip module, which is a key one for my use-case because it would allow a simple upgrade path and a way to install plugins.

You have to run it on each platform to build the app bundle for each target (Mac, Windows, Linux). The only other alternative (i know of) is Briefcase (Beeware). It does the same/similar thing as PyInstaller. Brendan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
