Okay, good idea. That does sound like a lot of work though, probably not
worth it for me. I'm just curious.
For what it's worth, UPX makes no difference on a onedir build either. See
below, it's exactly the same bytes. Is there some way to see if UPX is
actually working?
% echo "print('Hello world.')" > helloworld.py
% pyinstaller --noupx helloworld.py
% du -d 1 dist
26528 dist/helloworld
26528 dist
% rm -rf dist build
% pyinstaller helloworld.py
% du -d 1 dist
26528 dist/helloworld
26528 dist
