Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

.py to .msi
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.

I also found another link on github that may have some solutions to try: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/3600

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

Show HN: Pywebview 5
Bundling Python isn't too bad if you find the right tools for it.
I really like https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone and https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer
A bundled, built standalone Python can be 16 to 32MB (including the full standard library, which you can strip down to just the bits you use to save size). Not tiny, but probably not worth switching programming languages over.
-
Why do you enjoy systems programming languages?
But really, I would suggest thinking about what you want to build before "how" or "with which tool" - one of the signs of a person becoming a good engineer is having an array of tools at their disposal and being able to choose a correct tool for the correct task. Rust also excels in integrating with other languages - with JS via WebAssembly (a bit of self-promotion, for example), with Elixir via Rustler, with Python via PyO3 and PyOxidizer, etc. So you absolutely can start writing a frontend app with JS, or a distributed system with Elixir, or a data processing/ML app with Python and use Rust to speed up critical parts of those. Or, in reverse, you can start with Rust & add new capabilities to whatever you're building, that being a frontend, a resilient chat interface, or an ML model.

List of Python compilers
Thank you, although this is not exactly on topic. I'd not heard of PyOxidizer, but it appears to have the same goal as PyInstaller, py2exe, and cx_Freeze -- as the PyOxidizer readme says, it produces

Buck2, a large scale build tool written in Rust by Meta, is now available
Here is some example Github Action from PyOxidizer as a Kickstarter: https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-exe.yml

Mitogen speedup (the actual value)
A starting point to try out binary modules by the way would be https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer - could already have benefits by rolling in all dependencies of modules (so no more pip/apt/dnf/... installs on target hosts). Setting this up should be relatively straightforward and could probably be automated enough to even manage to build binary modules for all modules in the community ansible distribution eventually.

What are different ways to make a Python exe besides py-to-exe?
PyOxidizer might be another option.

A Completely Open-Source Implementation of Apple Code Signing and Notarization
XAR signing is effectively just an RFC 5652 CMS signature plus some minimal data structure manipulation. Code at https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/blob/faa7dfcea5d66bf5....
Mach-O and bundles, by contrast, require a myriad of additional data structures requiring thousands of lines of code to support. To my knowledge, nobody else has implemented signing of these far-more-complicated primitives. (Existing Mach-O signing solutions just do ad-hoc signing and/or don't handle Mach-O in the context of a bundle.)
What are some alternatives?
Nuitka - Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.
py2exe - modified py2exe to support unicode paths
pyarmor - A tool used to obfuscate python scripts, bind obfuscated scripts to fixed machine or expire obfuscated scripts.
py2app
pynsist - Build Windows installers for Python applications
Poetry - Python packaging and dependency management made easy
