Description: PyInstaller Overview
        ====================
        
        PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single
        package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python
        interpreter or any modules.

        PyInstaller reads a Python script written by you. It analyzes your code
        to discover every other module and library your script needs in order to
        execute. Then it collects copies of all those files -- including the active
        Python interpreter! -- and puts them with your script in a single folder, or
        optionally in a single executable file.
        
        
        PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, it is not
        a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in Windows; to make
        a Linux app you run it in Linux, etc. PyInstaller has been used successfully
        with AIX, Solaris, and FreeBSD, but is not tested against them.
        
        
        Main Advantages
        ---------------
        
        - Works out-of-the-box with any Python version 2.7 / 3.3-3.5.
        - Fully multi-platform, and uses the OS support to load the dynamic libraries,
          thus ensuring full compatibility.
        - Correctly bundles the major Python packages such as numpy, PyQt4, PyQt5,
          PySide, Django, wxPython, matplotlib and others out-of-the-box.
        - Compatible with many 3rd-party packages out-of-the-box. (All the required
          tricks to make external packages work are already integrated.)
        - Libraries like PyQt5, PyQt4, PySide, wxPython, matplotlib or Django are fully
          supported, without having to handle plugins or external data files manually.
        - Working code signing on OS X.
        - Bundles MS Visual C++ DLLs on Windows.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        PyInstaller is available on PyPI. You can install it through `pip`::
        
              pip install pyinstaller
        
        
        Requirements and Tested Platforms
        ------------------------------------
        
        - Python: 
        
         - 2.7 or 3.3+
         - PyCrypto_ 2.4+ (only if using bytecode encryption)
        
        - Windows (32bit/64bit):
        
         - Windows XP or newer.
            
        - Linux (32bit/64bit)
        
         - ldd: Console application to print the shared libraries required
           by each program or shared library. This typically can be found in
           the distribution-package `glibc` or `libc-bin`.
         - objdump: Console application to display information from 
           object files. This typically can be found in the
           distribution-package `binutils`.
         - objcopy: Console application to copy and translate object files.
           This typically can be found in the distribution-package `binutils`,
           too.
        
        - Mac OS X (64bit):
        
         - Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or newer.
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Basic usage is very simple, just run it against your main script::
        
              pyinstaller /path/to/yourscript.py
        
        For more details, see the `manual`_.
        
        
        Untested Platforms
        ---------------------
        
        The following platforms have been contributed and any feedback or
        enhancements on these are welcome.
        
        - FreeBSD
        
         - ldd
        
        - Solaris
        
         - ldd
         - objdump
        
        - AIX
        
         - AIX 6.1 or newer. PyInstaller will not work with statically
           linked Python libraries.
         - ldd
        
        
        Before using any contributed platform, you need to build the PyInstaller
        bootloader, as we do not ship binary packages. Download PyInstaller
        source, and build the bootloader::
             
                cd bootloader
                python ./waf distclean all
        
        Then install PyInstaller::
        
                python setup.py install
                
        or simply use it directly from the source (pyinstaller.py).

          pkg_resources.resource_stream(), pkg_resources.resource_string().
        - Better support for pkg_resources (.egg manipulation) in frozen executables.
        - Add option --runtime-hook to allow running custom code from frozen app
          before loading other Python from the frozen app. This is usefull for some
          specialized preprocessing just for the frozen executable. E.g. this
          option can be used to set SIP api v2 for PyQt4.
        
        
        - Fix runtime option --Wignore.
        - Rename utils to lowercase: archieve_viewer.py, bindepend.py, build.py,
          grab_version.py, make_comserver.py, makespec.py, set_version.py.

        - (OSX) Fix Python library search in virtualenv.
        - Environment variable PYTHONHOME is now unset and path to python home
          is set in bootloader by function Py_SetPythonHome().This overrides
          sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix for frozen application.
        - Python library filename (e.g. python27.dll, libpython2.7.so.1.0, etc)
          is embedded to the created exe file. Bootloader is not trying several
          filenames anymore.
        - Frozen executables now use PEP-302 import hooks to import frozen modules
          and C extensions. (sys.meta_path)
        - Drop old import machinery from iu.py.
        - Drop own code to import modules from zip archives (.egg files) in frozen
          executales. Native Python implementation is kept unchanged.
        - Drop old crypto code. This feature was never completed.
        - Drop bootloader dependency on Python headers for compilation.
        - (Windows) Recompile bootloaders with VS2008 to ensure win2k compatibility.

        - UPX is used by default if available in the PATH variable.
        
        
        - Remove compatibility code for old platforms (dos, os2, MacOS 9).
        - Use Python logging system for message output (thanks to Hartmut
          Goebel).
        - Environment variable MEIPASS2 is accessible as sys._MEIPASS.
        - Bootloader now overrides PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH.

          https://jenkins.shiningpanda-ci.com/pyinstaller/
        
        
        1.5.1 (2011-08-01)
        ------------------
        
        - New default PyInstaller icon for generated executables on Windows.
        - Add support for Python built with --enable-shared on Mac OSX.
        - Add requirements section to documentation.
        
        
        - Documentation is now generated by rst2html and rst2pdf.
        - Fix wrong path separators for bootloader-file on Windows

        1.5 (2011-05-05)
        ----------------
        
        - Full support for Python 2.7.
        - Full support for Python 2.6 on Windows. No manual redistribution
          of DLLs, CRT, manifest, etc. is required: PyInstaller is able to
          bundle all required dependencies (thanks to Florian Hoech).
        - Added support for Windows 64-bit (thanks to Martin Zibricky).
        - Added binary bootloaders for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit, using LSB),
          and Darwin (32-bit). This means that PyInstaller users on this
          platform don't need to compile the bootloader themselves anymore
          (thanks to Martin Zibricky and Lorenzo Mancini).
        
        
        - Rewritten the build system for the bootloader using waf (thanks
          to Martin Zibricky)
        - Correctly detect Python unified binary under Mac OSX, and bail out
          if the unsupported 64-bit version is used (thanks to Nathan Weston).
        - Fix TkInter support under Mac OSX (thanks to Lorenzo Mancini).
        - Improve bundle creation under Mac OSX and correctly support also
          one-dir builds within bundles (thanks to Lorenzo Mancini).
        - Fix spurious KeyError when using dbhash
        - Fix import of nested packages made from Pyrex-generated files.
        - PyInstaller is now able to follow dependencies of binary extensions
          (.pyd/.so) compressed within .egg-files.
        - Add import hook for PyTables.
        - Add missing import hook for QtWebKit.
        - Add import hook for pywinauto.
        - Add import hook for reportlab (thanks Nevar).
        - Improve matplotlib import hook (for Mac OSX).
        - Improve Django import hooks.
        - Improve compatibility across multiple Linux distributions by
          being more careful on which libraries are included/excluded in
          the package.
        - Improve compatibility with older Python versions (Python 2.2+).
        - Fix double-bouncing-icon bug on Mac OSX. Now windowed applications
          correctly start on Mac OSX showing a single bouncing icon.
        - Fix weird "missing symbol" errors under Mac OSX (thanks to Isaac
          Wagner).
        
        
        1.4 (2010-03-22)
        ----------------
        
        - Fully support up to Python 2.6 on Linux/Mac and Python 2.5
          on Windows.
        - Preliminar Mac OSX support: both one-file and one-dir is supported;
          for non-console applications, a bundle can be created. Thanks
          to many people that worked on this across several months (Daniele
          Zannotti, Matteo Bertini, Lorenzo Mancini).
        - Improved Linux support: generated executables are fatter but now
          should now run on many different Linux distributions (thanks to David
          Mugnai).
        - Add support for specifying data files in import hooks. PyInstaller
          can now automatically bundle all data files or plugins required
          for a certain 3rd-party package.
        - Add intelligent support for ctypes: PyInstaller is now able to
          track all places in the source code where ctypes is used and
          automatically bundle dynamic libraries accessed through ctypes.
          (Thanks to Lorenzo Mancini for submitting this). This is very
          useful when using ctypes with custom-made dynamic libraries.
        - Executables built with PyInstaller under Windows can now be digitally
          signed.
        - Add support for absolute imports in Python 2.5+ (thanks to Arve
          Knudsen).
        - Add support for relative imports in Python 2.5+.
        - Add support for cross-compilation: PyInstaller is now able to
          build Windows executables when running under Linux. See documentation
          for more details.
        - Add support for .egg files: PyInstaller is now able to look for
          dependencies within .egg files, bundle them and make them available
          at runtime with all the standard features (entry-points, etc.).
        - Add partial support for .egg directories: PyInstaller will treat them
          as normal packages and thus it will not bundle metadata.
        - Under Linux/Mac, it is now possible to build an executable even when
          a system packages does not have .pyc or .pyo files available and the
          system-directory can be written only by root. PyInstaller will in
          fact generate the required .pyc/.pyo files on-the-fly within a
          build-temporary directory.
        - Add automatic import hooks for many third-party packages, including:
        
          - PyQt4 (thanks to Pascal Veret), with complete plugin support.
          - pyodbc (thanks to Don Dwiggins)
          - cElementTree (both native version and Python 2.5 version)
          - lxml
          - SQLAlchemy (thanks to Greg Copeland)
          - email in Python 2.5 (though it does not support the old-style
            Python 2.4 syntax with Python 2.5)
          - gadfly
          - PyQWt5
          - mako
          - Improved PyGTK (thanks to Marco Bonifazi and foxx).
          - paste (thanks to Jamie Kirkpatrick)
          - matplotlib
        
        - Add fix for the very annoying "MSVCRT71 could not be extracted" bug,
          which was caused by the DLL being packaged twice (thanks to Idris
          Aykun).
        - Removed C++-style comments from the bootloader for compatibility
          with the AIX compiler.
        - Fix support for .py files with DOS line endings under Linux (fixes
          PyOpenGL).
        - Fix support for PIL when imported without top-level package ("import
          Image").
        - Fix PyXML import hook under NT (thanks to Lorenzo Mancini)
        - Fixed problem with PyInstaller picking up the wrong copy of optparse.
        - Improve correctness of the binary cache of UPX'd/strip'd files. This
          fixes problems when switching between multiple versions of the
          same third-party library (like e.g. wxPython allows to do).
        - Fix a stupid bug with modules importing optparse (under Linux) (thanks
          to Louai Al-Khanji).
        - Under Python 2.4+, if an exception is raised while importing a module
          inside a package, the module is now removed from the parent's
          namespace (to match the behaviour of Python itself).
        - Fix random race-condition at startup of one-file packages, that was
          causing this exception to be generated: "PYZ entry 'encodings' (0j)
          is not a valid code object".
        - Fix problem when having unicode strings among path elements.
        - Fix random exception ("bad file descriptor") with "prints" in non-console
          mode (actually a pythonw "bug" that's fixed in Python 3.0).
        - Sometimes the temporary directory did not get removed upon program
          exit, when running on Linux.
        - Fixed random segfaults at startup on 64-bit platforms (like x86-64).
        
        
        1.3 (2006-12-20)
        ----------------
        
        - Fix bug with user-provided icons disappearing from built executables
          when these were compressed with UPX.
        - Fix problems with packaging of applications using PIL (that was broken
          because of a bug in Python's import machinery, in recent Python
          versions). Also add a workaround including Tcl/Tk with PIL unless
          ImageTk is imported.
        - (Windows) When used under Windows XP, packaged programs now have
          the correct look & feel and follow user's themes (thanks to the manifest
          file being linked within the generated executable). This is especially
          useful for applications using wxPython.
        - Fix a buffer overrun in the bootloader (which could lead to a crash)
          when the built executable is run from within a deep directory (more than
          70-80 characters in the pathname).
        - Bootstrap modules are now compressed in the executable (so that they
          are not visible in plaintext by just looking at it with a hex editor).
        - Fixed a regression introduced in 1.1: under Linux, the bootloader does
          not depend on libpythonX.X.so anymore.
        
        
        1.2 (2006-06-29)
        ----------------
        
        - Fix a crash when invoking UPX with certain kinds of builds.
        - Fix icon support by re-adding a resource section in the bootloader
          executable.
        
        
        1.1 (2006-02-13)
        ----------------
        
        - (Windows) Make single-file packages not depend on MSVCRT71.DLL anymore,
          even under Python 2.4. You can eventually ship your programs really as
          single-file executables, even when using the newest Python version!
        - Fix problem with incorrect python path detection. Now using helpers from
          distutils.
        - Fix problem with rare encodings introduced in newer Python versions: now all
          the encodings are automatically found and included, so this problem should
          be gone forever.
        - Fix building of COM servers (was broken in 1.0 because of the new build
          system).
        - Mimic Python 2.4 behaviour with broken imports: sys.modules is cleaned up
          afterwise. This allows to package SQLObject applications under Windows
          with Python 2.4 and above.
        - Add import hook for the following packages:
        
          - GTK
          - PyOpenGL (tested 2.0.1.09)
          - dsnpython (tested 1.3.4)
          - KInterasDB (courtesy of Eugene Prigorodov)
        
        - Fix packaging of code using "time.strptime" under Python 2.3+.
        - (Linux) Ignore linux-gate.so while calculating dependencies (fix provided
          by Vikram Aggarwal).
        - (Windows) With Python 2.4, setup UPX properly so to be able to compress
          binaries generated with Visual Studio .NET 2003 (such as most of the
          extensions). UPX 1.92+ is needed for this.
        
        
        1.0 (2005-09-19) with respect to McMillan's Python Installer 5b5
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        
        - Add support for Python 2.3 (fix packaging of codecs).
        - Add support for Python 2.4 (under Windows, needed to recompiled the
          bootloader with a different compiler version).
        - Fix support for Python 1.5.2, should be fully functional now (required
          to rewrite some parts of the string module for the bootloader).
        - Fix a rare bug in extracting the dependencies of a DLL (bug in PE header
          parser).
        - Fix packaging of PyQt programs (needed an import hook for a hidden import).
        - Fix imports calculation for modules using the "from __init__ import" syntax.
        - Fix a packaging bug when a module was being import both through binary
          dependency and direct import.
        
        
        - Restyle documentation (now using docutils and reStructuredText).
        - New Windows build system for automatic compilations of bootloader in all
          the required flavours (using Scons)
