Application Packaging

Python Help
1

Hello,

suppose that I create an application and I want to deliver it to a client. I also would want to include the
option of having a desktop shortcut similar to other applications (including IDLE). Can you recommend a tutorial that details packaging the files correctly (the process) as well as adding a potential shortcut.

Any input would be appreciated.

There are lots of different tools for that, most famously PyInstaller, but a number of other options are mentioned in the recent thread Installer creation based on distributions - #4 by pf_moore (for example, briefcase).

See, for example, Using PyInstaller to Easily Distribute Python Applications – Real Python
