Makes sense. I’ll report back if I find there is something I need that I 
can’t do from the command line interface.

Ah, in my case I had to make a small change to add a script that can be 
called directly, like python3 my-program.py. That’s because the normal way 
to invoke my program is via a console_scripts entry point, and PyInstaller 
doesn’t know how to interface with that yet 
 (as you know).

Interesting. I’ll take a look at Travis first since it supports uploading 
artifacts to S3 . So 
I can have PyInstaller run as one of my “tests” and publish the result to 
S3.

[PyInstaller] Apps built with Windows 10 and Python 3.5 may not run on Windows versions earlier than 10

[Marc de Bourget]

This issue is mentioned within the PyInstaller 3.1 announcement:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/PyInstaller/z3NLR073ztU
"Apps built with Windows 10 and Python 3.5 may not run on Windows versions 
earlier than 10"

This sounds like an really serious issue which should be fixed with highest 
priority for PyInstaller 3.2, please.
I have to ensure for my customers that my exe files work at least for all 
currently supported Windows versions.

How can we contribute to fix it? Can you provide test scripts? I own both 
Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. 
However, until now I haven't been able to reproduce the issue so I'm 
interested in testing scripts which don't work.
