Hello, on behalf of the PyInstaller development team I'm happy to announce PyInstaller 4.2. http://www.pyinstaller.org <http://www.pyinstaller.org> Thanks for all those who contributed questions, bug-reports or pull-requests. PyInstaller is in urgent need of funding to make future security fixes happen, see<https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4404> for details. === Important Changes === Release 4.2 adds support for Python 3.8 and 3.9, is able to find binary dependencies of Anaconda distributions, includes fixes for some endless recursion cases (more to be fixed in the next release), and code for the sw_64 architecture. Of course there are again quite some bug-fixes and update to core hooks. This will be the last version supporting Python 3.5. The last version supporting Python 2.7 was PyInstaller 3.6. The full changelog for this release can be found at: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v4.2/CHANGES.html === What it is === PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python interpreter or any modules. PyInstaller reads a Python script written by you. It analyzes your code to discover every other module and library your script needs in order to execute. Then it collects copies of all those files – including the active Python interpreter! – and puts them with your script in a single folder, or optionally in a single executable file. PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, it is not a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in Windows; to make a Linux app you run it in Linux, etc. PyInstaller has been used successfully with AIX, Solaris, and FreeBSD, but is not tested against them. === Help keeping PyInstaller alive === Maintaining PyInstaller is a huge amount of work. PyInstaller development can only continue if users and companies provide sustainable funding. Please consider recurring donations. Seehttp://www.pyinstaller.org/funding.html for how to support PyInstaller. === Installation === PyInstaller can be installed from PyPi using pip install pyinstaller === Important Changes === The full changelog for this release can be found at: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v4.0/CHANGES.html === Feedback === We're eager to listen to your feedback on using PyInstaller: Bug tracker:https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues> Mailing list:http://groups.google.com/group/PyInstaller <http://groups.google.com/group/PyInstaller> -- Schönen Gruß Hartmut Goebel Dipl.-Informatiker (univ), CISSP, CSSLP, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer Information Security Management, Security Governance, Secure Software Development Goebel Consult, Landshut http://www.goebel-consult.de <http://www.goebel-consult.de> Blog: http://www.goebel-consult.de/blog/warum-sie-nicht-perl-programmiern-sollten <http://www.goebel-consult.de/blog/warum-sie-nicht-perl-programmiern-sollten> Kolumne: http://www.cissp-gefluester.de/2012-02-bring-your-own-life-glosse <http://www.cissp-gefluester.de/2012-02-bring-your-own-life-glosse>
