How to package a Python project into an exe with an uninstall function!

Although I work on the web, I've always been interested in Python's many open source projects. The deployment documentation for source code such as the previous Stable Diffusion AI painting and SO-VITS-SVC tone replacement is complete. Despite this, it is not very friendly for students who are just getting started and who are building various pits in the local environment. In response to this phenomenon, there are already various bigwigs on the Internet who have made one-click deployment solutions, no need to install the python environment, no need to ** various dependency packages, and you can use it with a single click.

So how do they do it, by this point many people should already be talking about using pyinstaller. Yes, this does solve the overall environment packaging, but sometimes some icons and dependencies need to be put together to work properly, similar to the green desktop tool. Is there a way to further encapsulate this, that is, after clicking on the exe, it needs to be installed, and then after installation, it is the file of the project, and it can also be uninstalled, and the answer is to use the inno setup compiler. So, then I'll use a small demo of the GUI to complete the exe packaging and further installation and packaging.

python 3.8

tkinter (bring your own).

pyinstaller 6.3.0

inno setup compiler

Use conda to create a virtual environment separately, such as writing a tkinter application, by the way, in order to look good, we can set the following icons, the size is 32x32, and the large icon is 64x64 to prepare. Then use pyinstaller to achieve the application package (including exe), and finally use the inno setup compiler to achieve the installation package, which is the setting of various file associations, icons and information.

Environment creation

# 1.Create environment conda create -n tools env python=38 # 2.Enter the environment Conda Activate Tools env 3Install pyinstallerpip install pyinstaller -i

pyinstaller -f -w application.py -–icon=logo.ico

Here we want to pack our own icon with icon, and don't show a black flash box with w when opening, of course, open the exe to put the icon in the same level of directory as him, the size has been said above, and the following is the parameter description.

Parameter description: -icon=iconpath-f Packaged into an exe file -w Use window, no console -c Use console, no window -d Create a directory that contains exe and other dependency files

inno setup compiler operation

Create a script and fill in the information.

Select the main program and the files you need.

Set the name and icon

Select the export location (there are also settings such as agreements in front).

Run the script to start the build.

The installation is opened, and there is a built-in uninstaller in the installation directory.
