Packaging

There are 2 available packaging formats: Installer or wheel. The former is what is distributed, while the latter is required for use of the CLI for instance.

When packaging don't forget to check versions in both setup.py and make_installer.iss and ensure they match!

Installer

Currently, this is only supported on Windows.

The installer uses PyInstaller to extract all the dependencies and InnoSetup to create a Windows installer package out of them.

  1. Ensure you have installed InnoSetup here.

  2. Inside the root repository directory with the virtualenv active:

python -O -m PyInstaller --noconfirm "pterasoftware.spec"

We run python with the first level optimise flag -O to slim down some now unnecessary debug code. Do not use second level optimisation -OO, as this removes some docstrings that break dependencies.

  1. Open make_installer.iss in InnoSetup and run the packaging process. This can take a while, but should output an installer in the Output folder.
