I have been working on writing an Alexa skill which, as part of it, requires a local web server on the end users machine - the Alexa skill sends commands to this server, which runs them on the local machine. I wrote this local server in Flask, and run it using uwsgi, using a command like: "uwsgi serverconfig.ini".
The problem is that in order for this to work, the end user must: 1) Install python 3.6 (or thereabouts) 2) Install a number of python modules, and 3) run a command line (from the appropriate directory) Not terribly difficult, but when I think of my target audience (Alexa users), I could easily see even these steps being "too complicated". I was looking at pyinstaller to create a simple double-click application, but it appears that pyinstaller needs a python script as the "base" for the application, whereas my "base" is uwsgi. Also, I do need to leave a config file accessible for the end user to be able to edit. Is there a way to use pyinstaller in this scenario, or perhaps some other option that might work better to package things up? ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Systems Analyst II Ravn Alaska 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7293 ----------------------------------------------- -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
