Python 3.12.1 Released
Not sure if fixed in this patch, but pyinstaller had an issue in 3.12.0 https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/7992

Why not tell people to “simply” use pyenv, poetry or anaconda
You are right. I think I've misremembered the module name - it was uwsgi, not uvicorn.
This is a github issue where I discussed my original issue with PyInstaller devs - the dev explained the situation very well: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6362

Shipping large ML models with electron
PyInstaller seemed like the most maintained and developed tool to freeze python script into an executable, so I went with it. As expected, the freezed interface with the model was gigabytes large, so I had to figure out how to squeeze this. Fortunately, Onnx worked wonders and packaged the model into an inference only state, so I could throw away the Pytorch and Torchtext dependencies when freezing with Pyinstaller.Now the size of the executable with the model was 43MB instead of 4GB.

You might want to see Pyinstaller and auto_py_to_exe if you want a GUI interface.

How to make a GUI translator app with Python Tkinter
It uses the pyinstaller command behind and please read their docs if you want to know more details.

importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for djoser pyinstaller
I made a Django react app. Now I want to make it a desktop application so that the user does not have type python manage.py runserver and also activate the environment every time. I used pyinstaller. I did all the steps mentioned for django

First, instead of creating a VM for windows, you may need to use a software called Wine mentioned in the pyinstaller FAQs

Python Is Portable
This is a good place to mention https://nuitka.net/ which aims to compile python programs into standalone binaries.

We are under DDoS attack and we do nothing
For Python, you could make a proper deployment binary using Nuitka (in standalone mode – avoid onefile mode for this). I'm not pretending it's as easy as building a Go executable: you may have to do some manual hacking for more unusual unusual packages, and I don't think you can cross compile. I think a key element you're getting at is that Go executables have very few dependencies on OS packages, but with Python (once you've sorted the actual Python dependencies) you only need the packages used for manylinux [2], which is not too onerous.

Faster Blogging: A Developer's Dream Setup
glee is rich in blogging features but has some drawbacks. One of the main drawbacks is its compatibility with multiple operating systems and system architectures. We lost one potential customer due to glee incompatibility in macOS. Another major issue is the deployment time. We built the first version of glee entirely in Python and used nuitka, nuitka compiles Python programs into a single executable binary file. We need to create three separate stages for creating executable binaries for Windows, Mac, and Linux in deployment, and it takes around 20 minutes to complete.

Python 3.13 Gets a JIT
There is already an AOT compiler for Python: Nuitka[0]. But I don't think it's much faster.
And then there is mypyc[1] which uses mypy's static type annotations but is only slightly faster.
And various other compilers like Numba and Cython that work with specialized dialects of Python to achieve better results, but then it's not quite Python anymore.

Ask HN: How does Nuitka (Python compiler) work?
Hi HN,
Has anyone explored Nuitka [1] and developed understanding from a blank slate?
Is there any toy version of this, so that one can start playing with the language translation concepts?
Is there any underlying theory/inspiration upon which this project is built?
Are there any similar projects, in say other languages?

Why not tell people to “simply” use pyenv, poetry or anaconda
That's more of cultural problem in the Python community.
If I provide an end user software to my client written an Python (so not a backend, not a lib...), I will compile it with nuitka (https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka) and hide the stack trace (https://www.bitecode.dev/p/why-and-how-to-hide-the-python-st...) to provide a stand alone executable.
This means the users don't have to know it's made with Python or install anything, and it just works.
However, Python is not like Go or Rust, and providing such an installer requires more than work, so a huge part of the user base (which have a lot of non professional coders) don't have the skill, time or resources to do it.
And few people make the promotion of it.
I should write an article on that because really, nobody wants to setup python just to use a tool.

Is cython a safe option for obfuscate a python project?
As for a simpler option, you could use a "compiler": https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka

Extending web applications with WebAssembly and Python
> Your comment would make sense if Python code could be compiled into x86 or ARM assembly in the first place.
It can actually be compiled (or transpiled) into C code [1] with few limitations, so I can't see why not.
What are some alternatives?
PyOxidizer - A modern Python application packaging and distribution tool
pyarmor - A tool used to obfuscate python scripts, bind obfuscated scripts to fixed machine or expire obfuscated scripts.
py2exe - modified py2exe to support unicode paths
py2app
false-positive-malware-reporting - Trying to release your software sucks, mostly because of antivirus false positives. I don't have an answer, but I do have a list of links to help get your code whitelisted.
pynsist - Build Windows installers for Python applications
Poetry - Python packaging and dependency management made easy
ttkbootstrap - A supercharged theme extension for tkinter that enables on-demand modern flat style themes inspired by Bootstrap.
