Hello, on behalf of the PyInstaller development team I'm happy to announce PyInstaller 3.6. This version fixes a Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability effecting all Windows software frozen by PyInstaller in "onefile" mode - no matter which version of PyInstaller was used. 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. === 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. See http://www.pyinstaller.org/funding.html for how to support PyInstaller. === Installation === PyInstaller can be installed from PyPi using pip install pyinstaller === Important Changes === * Fixes a Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability effecting all Windows software frozen vy PyInstaller in "onefile" mode. * More then 20 hooks added, more then 15 hooks fixed or improved. * More then 20 bugs fixed. * Python 3.4 is no longer tested, since this version is end-of-life already.
