Stand Alone Executable (peru.exe)

[naturallymitchell]

Would you be open to distributing a stand alone executable for similar easy installation to https://chocolatey.org/packages/youtube-dl
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases

Sure, why not :) I don't have any experience with those packaging tools personally though.

I don't either, but having people install python and then pip isn't going well. Here's what I know so far: https://www.pyinstaller.org/

Do you have any time to investigate this as well?

One option is to use pex

PyOxidizer seems easy and promising.

edit: PyYAML and Peru extensively uses __file__, thus could not be packaged by PyOxidizer.
