Hello, my name is Leah and I am a self-taught machine learning engineer with 10 years of experience of programming in Python. I want to give my fellow Python developers a small tutorial of how to cross-compile Python scripts into an executable for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Choosing Your Platform and Audience
The first thing you need to do when thinking about building a software like this, or any other software for that matter is to figure out what platform(s) you want to release your software on. Code is written differently from — say Windows vs. Linux. To make your Python code compatible on Windows, Mac, and Linux you will have to use PyInstaller to compile the Python code into an executable. You need to install PyInstaller by using the pip command.
