v1.0.0-alpha

📝 Release Notes

This is a working proof of concept of an Embedded Python Builder with a user-friendly GUI for creating portable, open-source Python applications that you can share with users who don’t feel confident setting up a full Python environment themselves. It uses a .bat file to launch your Python (.py) app in a clear and secure way. It runs just like any regular .exe, but without the need to compile binary executables or pay hundreds of dollars to have your apps signed. It fully exposes the launcher and application code to all end users, making it better suited for open for security audits open-source distribution rather than closed-source software. I’m simply sharing it with anyone interested, as I originally built this tool for my own use.

To ensure portability, use relative paths rather than absolute paths in your entire project. If you intend to share your app with people who don't know how to, or can't setup themselves Python environment properly on Windows OS, and you're not sure how to adjust your project, you can ask any flagship AI coding assistant to modify your source code to use relative paths instead of absolute paths across your project.
