But you could run some tool beforehand that strips out comments and docstrings, renames variables, etc. Thomas
[pygame] Re: Freezing Pygame projects in Windows
Thanks for the reply Thomas, That looks like a great tool. I was hoping to obfuscate my code a little this time, do you know if this is a possibility? -- View this message in context: http://pygame-users.25799.x6.nabble.com/Freezing-Pygame-projects-in-Windows-tp2384p2388.html Sent from the pygame-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[pygame] Re: Freezing Pygame projects in Windows
Hey, thanks for the reply. I've tried slightly re-working your spec file to fit my project and freezing with pyinstall but haven't had much luck so far :( With console=False the executable seems to quietly exit on launch. If I set console=True it hangs, as it did before. Console is something I was hoping to have access to, I'm not sure if that's a problem? I might have to cut back on some functionality if it isn't possible. -- View this message in context: http://pygame-users.25799.x6.nabble.com/Freezing-Pygame-projects-in-Windows-tp2384p2387.html Sent from the pygame-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: [pygame] Freezing Pygame projects in Windows
I have a tool called Pynsist that can build an installer directly, without going through a freeze tool: http://pynsist.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ There's an example for using it with pygame: https://github.com/takluyver/pynsist/tree/master/examples/pygame This isn't exactly what you're asking, but it may be an alternative approach - I've designed Pynsist to avoid some of the most common issues with freeze tools like PyInstaller.

Re: [pygame] Freezing Pygame projects in Windows
I recall I couldn't make py2exe work either, but that's a long time ago. I'm using PyInstaller without problems to create executable packages of a PyGame project. I'm using a standard spec file as per http://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/spec-files.html. I then use NSIS https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/ to create an installer EXE. Have a look at the files in https://github.com/robhagemans/pcbasic/tree/master/packaging/windows for a working example with a spec file for pyinstaller and a script for NSIS. PyInstaller can also produce a single executable file, but I'm not doing this so I don't know if that causes any problems with PyGame.
