[ANN] PyInstaller 3.3.1

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hello,

on behalf of the PyInstaller development team I'm happy to announce
PyInstaller 3.3.1. This release fixes some bugs.

   http://www.pyinstaller.org


Thanks for all those who contributed questions, bug-reports or
pull-requests.


=== 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.

=== Installation ===

PyInstaller can be installed from PyPi using

   pip install pyinstaller

=== Important Changes ===

* Fix recursion too deep errors caused by reimporting SWIG-like modules.

* Fix imports in hooks accessible_output and sound_lib.
* Fix ImportError for hook sysconfig for 3.5.4 Conda.
* Fix shapely hook for conda environments on Windows.

* (Windows) Pre-build bootloaders (and custom-build ones using MSVC) can be
  used on Windows XP again: Set minimum target OS to XP.

* Various improvements to the manual, esp. a new "Developer Guide"
